When young couples get married, they usually hire (租用) about 10 cars. But one new couple in Dalian, Liaoning province, did something a little different — they chose a public bus instead.
Yang Le’er and her husband, both 26, met while studying in the United Kingdom, and now both work in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang province. Yang is from Wenzhou, Zhejiang, while her new husband, Li Ang, is from Dalian.
On their wedding (婚礼) day, a red electric bus carried the couple, the groomsmen and bridesmaids, and Yang’s parents, who had flown in from Wenzhou, to a hotel. “Everyone being together on one bus made the joy double. We played festive music along the way, and friends sang along. We were so happy. Even though my parents didn’t sing, they were drawn in by the atmosphere (氛围) and didn’t show the traditional sadness of a daughter’s marriage,” Yang said.
At a cost of 10,000 yuan, Yang said getting the bus was cheaper than hiring cars. “What’s more, using a bus as our wedding car was so much cooler than a luxury car,” Yang said. On the road, they drew a lot of attention. When the bridesmaids and groomsmen shouted to people that “they’re getting married”, they received smiles and cheers.
“Now that I think about it, it still warms my heart. And personally, I work in Hangzhou in traffic planning, so I have a deep affection for public buses. I think this ‘wedding theme bus’ is very meaningful,” Yang said.
