One in ten thousand
At the wedding ceremony, the gift box the bride carried with her from her parents' home was opened. Some money is always in the box, which the master of ceremonies counts. Then he asked: "The bride's parents gave the new couple 3,333 yuan. How much will the groom's parents offer?" The groom's father answered: "We will double it, and add one yuan."
The final yuan brought the total to 10,000 yuan, which means the groom's parents embrace the new family member and cherish their extraordinary new daughter-in-law, the one in ten thousand.
Romance goes digital
Wedding guests are always curious about how the couple met each other. A digital photo album is often made of the bride and groom and displayed at each table at the wedding banquet. In this case, guests could see the bride and groom at different stages of their childhood too - teenager through to adult- in one exquisite digital album.
In addition, a music video (MV) was made by a professional team, the plot being a romance of course, and featuring the bride and groom as the leading actress and actor. This MV captured the moment the couple met - when they were diving underwater, followed them on their separate daily lives bustling about in their respective cities, and recounted how they turned a long-distance relationship into true love. Guests found the elaborate MV story very touching.
Lottery luck for guests
When accepting the good wishes and gifts of relatives and friends, the new couple presents them with a special wedding memento, usually candies or other small gifts.
Lu decided to return the guests well wishes creatively – with a lottery ticket. "Attending a wedding ceremony is always delightful. I hope our wedding will bring our guests good luck too," he smiled. No matter whether anyone wins the lottery or not, guests were happy about their host's good intentions.
