Wherever I’ve been during this October holiday there have been masses of wedding photo parties blocking our way or asking us to move, presumably about 10% of the entire population are getting married at this time.

I first bumped into a wedding outside the Orden Billiards Centre I blogged about previously, as we came outside a couple were posing in front of an enormous dart board (that’ll look nice in the album), I didn’t get any pics though. Next was Taikang Lu, an almost continuous procession of brides sporting tacky dresses with fleeting glimpses of fake adidas trainers as they lift their dresses enroute to the next location.

Next was Century Park, awash with them and their nervous grooms in ill-fitting white suits, fopping around and crouching in fields of tall grass while being tailed by a fleet of photographers and video cameras.

Enjoying a romantic moment next to a broken umbrella, the only people daring to get so close to the stinking, stagnant pond.

Then it was off to Nanjing where we saw massive numbers of lucky couples about to commit social suicide.

There are four brides in this picture, can you find them all in less than one minute?

My heart goes out to this guy though, what kind of future does their marriage hold when the poor guy has to stand on a box to be the same height as his wife in the wedding photos. If I ever found myself in this situation the bride would be going barefoot, if she was still taller she’d be crouching!
