Marriage is probably the most important for Chinese people, especially for girls. An unforgettable wedding is the most valuable part in girls' memory. How to make a wedding unforgettable? Maybe, you might be inspired by this bride.

On her wedding day, she has seven gold bracelets on each arms. Besides, she also wears a small gold pig and several gold necklaces on her neck.

Someone may doubt these things are all fake. However, the bride's cosmetician has confirmed that all of the bracelets and necklaces are made of real gold.

Is this the most unforgetable wedding in your eyes?

If all those ornaments are hers, then she is a rich person, but if they are rentals, she will have unforgettable wedding to pay back how much she owes.

Wanhu, the news report said all the golden things are real. I searched and found that people in Fujian seem to have such a tradition.

Before the wedding day, the bride’s parents will prepare a luggage which contains clothes and some other important things. In the past, the parents put some special pictures or sculptures used to offer sex education to the bride. In my hometown, usually the bride’s sister-in-law will give sex education to the bride. Besides, some money or golden ornaments are put in the luggage.

Today, those special pictures or sculptures can’t be seen in the luggage. Last year, my friend Jenny (a Chinese girl) got married. I went to her family before the wedding day. She showed me her luggage. There were some pretty clothes and gold bracelets and other things. I didn’t see any other special things.

In Fujian, the parents put gold ornaments, bank passbook, clothes and other things. The more money and gold they put in, the richer the parents are. On the wedding day, the bride’s relatives also give gold bracelets, gold rings, gold necklace or other gold stuff to the bride except the red envelopes. The bride needs to wear all the gold things their relatives give to her.

Wan, according to the make-up designer, all the gold things are real. I also searched on the internet and learnt that it was a tradition in southern China especially in Fujian and Guangdong Provinces.

Before the wedding day, the bride’s parents will prepare a luggage which contains clothes and some other important things. In the past, the parents put some special pictures or sculptures used to offer sex education to the bride. In my hometown, usually the bride’s sister-in-law will give sex education to the bride.

Laugh, it's not about real or not, but rather, hers or rental. Last August, a young Chinese man came to see me with gold wafers, and asking me to see a girl's parents, inquiring for marriage.

Wanhu, the bride doesn't rent the gold ornaments. Their parents prepare for them and the groom send some as bride price. On the wedding day, the bride get more from their relatives too.

Girls who are from rich families or receive valuable bride price can get more than 5 kilograms gold ornaments. Besides, they also receive gold bricks.

Look at this picture. It's not easy to wear all gold ornaments. This girl wears ten pairs of dragon and phoenix bracelets, 8 pieces of hand chains, 5 pieces of heavy gold necklace, 10 pieces of ordinary gold necklace and 20 gold rings. It takes her 0.5 hours to put all the gold ornaments.

Wow, I see. It is costly to get married in Fujian. Or the fact is that southern China is richer.
