In four days, the accumulated number of viewers to the livestreaming wedding of groom Liu Wenchao and bride Sun Hanxiao reached 3 million, ranking as the top-visited video on Bilibili.
"According to the Chinese tradition, gifting gold to the bride is common.
If you think my thoughts reflect the state of the mind of a new bride, you'll be mistaken.
In the United States and some Western countries that emphasize the "first look" (the moment the bride and the groom see each other for the first time in their wedding dress and suits on the wedding day, a few hours before the ceremony), specialist photographers command a premium for their services.
Someday somewhere in the US, a bride will proudly wear Wei's work at her wedding.
Therefore, we are devoted to creating such an atmosphere when offering our services," said Deng Weihua, president of Bride Elysee, a Shanghai-based one-stop wedding service provider.
According to Bride Elysee, the post-1990s generation pursue a sense of ritual and therefore prefer staging a marriage proposal and exchanging marriage oaths.
To grasp these market opportunities, Bride Elysee has launched different wedding themes based on regional variations.
For this reason, Bride Elysee's market share in each city is controlled under 5 percent.
The entire industry is striving to meet the needs of contemporary youths for diversity, fashion, personalization and the pursuit of romance, according to Bride Elysee.
In 2017, Bride Elysee's sales revenues stood at 303 million yuan ($43.6 million), growing 49.41 percent year-on-year.
Within that budget Lin has to not only account for catering services, but also wedding planning, hotel rentals, a wedding car, the ceremony host, makeup, wedding photography, costumes for the bride and the bridegroom, wedding room decoration, bridesmaids' souvenirs etc.
A draft judicial interpretation concerning "bride price" began soliciting public opinions on Monday, with the prohibition of asking for money or other possessions in the name of betrothal gifts.
Betrothal gifts, also known as bride price, are a traditional marriage custom in which the groom's family offers the bride's family an amount of money as a symbol of respect.
The disclosed draft clarifies that money or gifts provided at birthdays or festivals should not be identified as betrothal gifts, stating that Chinese courts, in general, will not support the return of a bride price if litigants are registered for marriage and live together for a long time.
However, if the time of living together is too short and the amount of betrothal gifts is too high, Chinese courts will determine whether to return the bride price and what proportion should be returned in line with specific circumstances, such as whether litigants have children and which side is at fault in the marriage, the draft added.
Earlier this year, a man surnamed Liu in Zhenyuan county, Gansu province, wrote a letter to the local government complaining about unreasonable betrothal money, after his fiancee's parents asked him to pay 288,000 yuan in bride price, not including a car and house.
In addition, governments in some other provinces, including Jiangxi, Henan and Zhejiang, have also issued guidance suggesting reasonable bride prices can help cultivate healthy marriage customs, Wang Jinhua, an official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, said on Monday.
He said that the average bride price has been reduced in some cities, such as Hejian and Guixi, adding that the reform of marriage customs has also been launched nationwide to limit betrothal gifts, as well as to scale down wedding banquets and funeral costs.
