My friend Hua Peng and his wife have known each other for five years. During these five years, they also witnessed the weddings of many relatives and friends. He said, "I have a friend who has been married for five years. I didn't know the exact number of wedding cars when I went. Anyway, 10 more cars, the wedding took two days. I asked him how much he spent, and he said 200,000 to 300,000. "
Five years later, Hua Peng got married, and the pressure was reduced. After the Chinese New Year, the Red and White Council in the village went home to advocate frugality and hold a wedding. As soon as they discussed it, they decided to attend the collective wedding organized by the county.
Xia Yan, Hua Peng's wife, said, "If both parents have to give everything to hold a very luxurious wedding, I feel selfish. In fact, I envy those who work hard with their partners and achieve their own results. I feel very practical and proud. "
Without the ostentation and extravagance of the motorcade and the luxurious banquet, 17 the couple gained happiness in a simple and grand traditional wedding. The wedding ceremony is a witness to the approaching marriage. Compared with the wedding, in the eyes of some newcomers, getting the certificate is actually more ceremonial, and the civil affairs departments in some places have also introduced wedding-style certification.
In fact, this situation is quite common around us. In Zhangqiu, Shandong Province, 17 couples did not go to the Civil Affairs Bureau on the appointed day, but came to this quaint small courtyard. Zhangqiu District of Jinan moved the marriage certificate ceremony to this traditional ethnic village. In the presence of the couple's parents and relatives, the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau issued a marriage certificate for the couple.
Chen Ze and Gao Min are a post-90s couple. After nearly two years of love, they decided to witness their union in this way.
Similar wedding certification is not only implemented in Jinan, but also in many parts of the country. Under normal circumstances, newcomers can enjoy the "wedding authentication" service as long as they make an appointment with the civil affairs department in advance. In a word, it is to advocate simple weddings. First, it is better, which can reduce the burden.
