China News Service, Nanjing, May 4th, title: "Compensatory marriage wave" emerges during the "May 1st" holiday: My wedding is in charge
Author Yang Yanci
After thinking about it again and again, Ms. Zheng, a citizen of Nanjing, decided to marry her fiance during the May Day holiday trip.
The destination was chosen as a niche attraction-Shengsi Islands.
"I don't like traditional weddings. It feels very cumbersome. This time we will go out with a few friends and take pictures. This is set!" Ms. Zheng happily said of this "alternative" marriage plan.
The luggage was full of sake and exquisite wine utensils that the two loved to drink.
"I love to eat seafood, he loves to drink. These days, he has just got married in such a leisurely manner."
During this "May Day" holiday, the "sweet economy" that has been suppressed for a long time by the epidemic began to "compensate growth."
According to data from Alipay's digital life open platform, the number of people searching for "marriage registration appointments" and "marriage photos" increased by 265% and 950% respectively over the same period last year.
May is the peak wedding season, and due to the impact of the epidemic last year, many couples postponed their weddings.
This "May 1st" holiday is also called "the busiest Labor Day in history" by people in the wedding industry.
Hundreds of guests at every turn, strenuous guest arrangements, complicated and lengthy wedding procedures, and inevitable emergencies...every link makes young people who are already struggling for work even more "bald".
The cumbersomeness of traditional weddings is the direct reason why many young couples "do not take the usual path", so "my wedding is in charge."
Beijing youth Wang Hao chose to hold the wedding in his old villa in the suburbs.
"I woke up naturally, and then I rode a motorcycle to pick up the bride. I also invited 20 or 30 relatives and friends to eat barbecue, drink beer, and have a small concert in the home garden."
The industry believes that more and more young people choose to travel to get married, rather than the conventional old wedding and banquet procedures.
This is not unrelated to young people’s pursuit of individuality, but also to everyone’s open and tolerant attitude.
Li Sirui, the person in charge of a wedding planning company in Nanjing, said that many of the newcomers now are "post-95s" with their own novel ideas.
The demand for personalized marriage has increased sharply than before.
"Like the previous destination weddings, most of them would go to the island. Now, young people choose the wedding destination'no limit', and Moganshan B&B and old courtyard houses will become the choice of newcomers." Li Sirui said.
"Marriage is a matter of success. It's better to "write" your personality into the wedding. It will be unforgettable." Miss Zheng's words express the aspirations of many young couples.
In the photos of Moments, Ms. Zheng wears white gauze but is dressed casually. By the sea, the couple fixed the most natural and sweet moments of life in front of their favorite wine and seafood. (Finish)
