A couple who came to get married with their children received special attention... at the Rose Wedding Ceremony
On September 17th, the special event of the 2023 Shanghai Tourism Festival Rose Wedding Ceremony, titled "Promise of Roses: Love for Shanghai", was grandly held at the Central Plaza on the Bund. A couple who came to get married with their children were particularly eye-catching. They are Wang Libo, a researcher from Longhua Hospital, and Wu Jinlian, a medical worker. Although they were certified in 2020, the high-intensity work over the past three years has caused their wedding to be repeatedly delayed. At this Rose Wedding Ceremony, Wang Libo finally arranged a romantic wedding for his wife and made a solemn promise.
The beauty of clothing is called "Hua", and the grandeur of etiquette is called "Xia". A magnificent country and a majestic China, every era's wedding has its unique dress and ceremony, which deeply embodies the profound imprint of Chinese culture. At the Rose Wedding Ceremony, the newlyweds wore wedding attire from the Zhou, Tang, and Ming dynasties, showcasing ancient wedding customs such as the Gonglao ceremony, the Hekan ceremony, the Jieying ceremony, the tie hair ceremony, the wedding invitation ceremony, and the oath ceremony.

These newcomers come from various industries, including military personnel, police officers, doctors, teachers, lawyers, as well as aerospace designers, environmental engineers, software developers, and urban builders; There are native Shanghai people, as well as new Shanghai people who come across mountains and rivers. They are writing grand chapters about big airplanes and Chinese chips in their daily lives, as well as depicting warm, beautiful, and flowing daily scenery.
In the past three years, their two babies have been born, but Wang Libo always feels that he owes his wife a wedding. "After life has completely returned to normal, getting married with so many peers feels completely different!" Wang Libo felt that this wedding made his married life with his wife more complete.
Before the wedding, Wang Libo and Wu Jinlian, who came to get married with their children, received a lot of attention. Wife Wu Jinlian told reporters that during the 2020 Spring Festival, when they were preparing to go together to obtain certificates, the epidemic suddenly broke out. Subsequently, the two of them devoted themselves to volunteer and emergency work, and were busy until September 2020, when the epidemic was relatively stable, when they finally obtained their certificates. "At that time, we also went home to see the venue for the wedding, but the epidemic kept recurring and work was busy, so it has been delayed until now."
