Sino-Singapore Jingwei, May 5th (Zhao Jiaran) "May to October in previous years are the peak wedding season. At most, you can receive 8 invitations in a short holiday, and you have to spend a month's salary for the money; however, This May Day, the only wedding I was invited to was postponed." Fu Zhi, who had just worked for a while, sighed, feeling that there have been fewer weddings in recent years, some have been changed from large to small, and some have been delayed due to the epidemic.

　　Like Fu Zhi, many young people who have to prepare money for the May 1st and 11th holidays feel that they have received fewer invitations in the past two years.

　　The feeling of Fu Zhi comes from the decline in the marriage registration data in the past three years, and also from the epidemic prevention and control, many newcomers choose to postpone the wedding.

　　"While I was struggling with how much money to take with me tomorrow, I suddenly learned that the wedding was postponed because of the epidemic. How could I feel that I would save a lot of money? Should I buy a game console?"

　　"As soon as I received the news that the wedding was postponed, I turned around and took some of the money to stock up on snacks."

　　"I'm still considering whether to postpone the wedding. A friend directly said that she would call me some money, but she didn't dare to come..."

　　However, for some people, if the wedding is simply held or postponed, the money may still be "albeit late".

On social media, a number of newcomers and wedding companies shared the grand occasion of the "cloud wedding": the wedding hall became a live broadcast in seconds, and the guests directly "rewarded" some money...

"The wedding was postponed three times in half a year, and the money was received before it was done."

　　In the event of force majeure, what should I do for an early wedding?

For newlyweds who hold weddings in first-tier cities, the price of weddings has risen, and the delay of the wedding means the economic cost of large deposits and rentals. In case of final default, they will also face high losses.

　　"The other day, my husband asked me, if I don't have a wedding, the first thing I thought about was that I couldn't bear my wedding dress."

When she was newly married, she and her family hurriedly set up a wedding company, bought a wedding dress, and packaged wedding candy, which made her feel that the day of being a bride had come so quickly and suddenly.

　　However, after three wedding postponements in the past six months, Su Cheng's mood has experienced tension, anticipation, panic and hesitation, and now he has become "Buddha-like" in a generous way.

"As long as it can be done in the end," she said.

　　"The deposit for the hotel, the wedding expenses, and the rent for the wedding dress have already been paid, and they can't be refunded, so they can only be postponed; the money for drinks and drinks has been paid to the merchants in advance, but fortunately they haven't picked up the goods yet. It is said that the price of wine has risen a bit this year. , became a 'futures' commodity; I customized a quicksand photo frame for sign-in, and because of the date on it, I ordered it twice and it was scrapped. A bunch of wedding candies I bought last year are still a few days away from the expiration date, so I can only wait. Expired." Su Cheng said.

　　On social media, cases of weddings being postponed three times or more abound. One netizen who postponed his wedding four times even summed up the experience of saving money:

　　Don't buy wedding candy in advance, the shelf life cannot be extended; don't pay for the wedding first, or you won't be refunded; the wedding hotel should sign a tripartite agreement, and pay attention to the breach of contract, especially related to the epidemic; don't make labels, invitations, Roll up Bao, etc., so that you can continue to use it after the extension.

　　However, although the wedding has not yet been held, Su Cheng has received money transfers from many friends, mainly from young people.

She said frankly that

online transfers are convenient for both parties. Although there is less sense of ceremony, as long as it contains blessings, it is understandable.

"Maybe it would be better without the transfer fee, haha."

Wedding live broadcast, convenient and trendy

　　There are always more solutions than difficulties.

Since selling goods, classes, and meetings can all be broadcast live online, why can't weddings?

Under the epidemic, many young couples have played a new trend of "cloud wedding".

　　"Let's see if this emcee is handsome!" A wedding officiating team released a live video of the wedding. From the footage, there were very few viewers at the wedding, but the number of people online showed that it had exceeded 330,000. Stop and refresh blessings.

　　Such "zero-guest" weddings are nothing new. Netizens who have experienced it themselves sighed that there are many advantages to separate the ceremony and the banquet: you don't have to worry about all kinds of accidents at the wedding scene, you can eat well without toasting, and you can share with relatives and friends Friends have increased.

　　On social media, a couple chose to hold a "cloud wedding" online, that is, the couple and their parents connect online to complete the wedding ceremony.

"We are at home with our parents. In order to make our parents no longer worry and wait, we have a simple and meaningful cloud wedding. When the epidemic is better, we will invite friends to our wedding banquet." The party said on Weibo Explain it this way.

　　According to media reports, a couple in Hangzhou once live-streamed the wedding process, which not only became popular on video websites, but also exceeded 3 million people.

In addition to leaving messages for blessings, many netizens send gifts through live broadcasts.

"I suspect that you have received money from members of the country." Some netizens joked.

　　It is understood that at present, many wedding companies have officially adopted "cloud wedding" as a wedding plan; there are also many professional live broadcast platforms that provide corresponding wedding live broadcast services.

The gifts are divided into different prices ranging from a few yuan to thousands of yuan. Gifts can be given by recharging, and newcomers can also withdraw from it.

"I think the money should still be given in person, if you don't meet in person, it's fine."

Wang Yao, 31 years old this year, who received the certificate in 2019, directly turned over the matter of the wedding.

She said that the original wedding may have been reversed with hotel money, so the process of avoiding the process of receiving money for the wedding is "not distressed".

　　In fact, as early as in the past, there was a precedent for newlyweds to put out a QR code at the wedding scene and receive money directly online.
