Interestingly, since then, "collective wedding" has existed as a system, which is held regularly by the government and is quite frequent. For example, after the victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, from 1946 to 1949, the Hankou government held 10 collective weddings, forming 446 couples, each of which was witnessed by the mayor. People attending group weddings are mainly middle class. In the group wedding in 1930s, men had to wear hats in robes and jackets. In the 1940s, men wore tunic suits or suits without hats. A lady's wedding dress is always the most beautiful, and the collocation of white or light-colored dress and white gauze skirt is a constant fashion. After 1980s, group marriage was advocated again. In the 1990s, group weddings were organized by professional wedding companies in Beijing, with a larger scale and greatly improved level. At this point, group marriage, a special form of marriage, has been brought to the extreme through modern technical means and perfect planning. The biggest advantage of attending a group wedding is that it is worry-free, labor-saving and money-saving, which is meaningful to the couple. Chinese wedding 16, group wedding has become the popular trend of Chinese wedding. As a new type of wedding, group wedding is an exotic product from the west to the east, compared with the traditional old-fashioned wedding in China. Although group marriage became popular at the beginning of this century, it didn't start in recent years, but it started as early as the Republic of China. In 1930s, the then National Government advocated the New Life Movement, promoted the Western-style wedding organized by the Social Bureau, and created a modern collective marriage. Shanghai is the first place, from June 1934 to 10/7. 6? Since the outbreak of "1 13" in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, it has been held for more than ten times, and the number of young couples in group weddings has exceeded 1000, which has become a great sight for a while. 1935, "The First New Life Collective Wedding" was held in the auditorium of Nanjing Inspirational Society. Ma Chaojun, then mayor of Nanjing, attended the ceremony, and 33 couples volunteered to attend. The media from all walks of life praised the new wedding as "an unprecedented event with more than a thousand people attending". At the earliest group wedding, newlyweds were required to wear formal dresses. Usually, the groom wears a blue robe, a black jacket, blue trousers and white socks, black satin shoes on his feet, white gloves on his hands and fireworks on his chest. The bride wore a short-sleeved pink cheongsam, trousers, flesh-colored stockings and satin shoes, a white veil and white gloves holding a bunch of flowers. After the wedding, she issued a marriage certificate, a commemorative badge and took a group photo. The whole process has made foreign things serve China, blending old and new, simple and grand. Later, someone completely abandoned the old cheongsam. The groom wears a suit and tie, and the bride wears a white wedding dress, which becomes closer to a purely western-style wedding. After the founding of New China, collective weddings were organized many times, aiming at changing customs and advocating simplicity. Most of the newlyweds wear simple clothes, little red and green, and only the bride's red dress at most, which adds festive color to the wedding. After the 1990s, the times were full of fresh air, young men and women returned to the western route, and wedding dresses became popular quietly.

Some people even think that an overly simple wedding is just like being unmarried, and it still costs a lot of money to hold a banquet.
