New representatives Xu Weipeng and Ying Huiqian shared their love stories on site. One was an aviation engine engineer, and the other was a medical equipment engineer. Because their careers were rooted in Minhang, they first met and fed swans in the lake together. They were gradually moved by each other's love, kindness, and responsibility, and finally got to know and love each other, and tied the knot. "My wife is very enthusiastic about public welfare and often participates in various public welfare activities, which particularly moves me."

In order to double happiness, the event also specially invited the Chunshen Retired Cadre Calligraphy and Painting Society in Minhang District to write calligraphy for each newlywed couple participating in this collective wedding, sending sincere and beautiful blessings. Yang Deguang, former president of Shanghai Normal University, and a model philanthropist at the "China Charity Award", came to the scene to express his love from family harmony and happiness to the spirit of charity, sending a message of love to the newlyweds.

The entire collective wedding did not have deafening firecrackers or extravagant banquets. Although the process was simple, it was full of ceremony. "I think this kind of charity wedding is great, romantic and meaningful!" Ms. Xu, a tourist from Suzhou, sighed. She came to visit her classmates and didn't expect to watch a group wedding. "Although I haven't been in a relationship yet, seeing so many newlyweds step onto the stage and make vows is still very touching."

As the theme event of the 2023 Shanghai Charity Week, this collective wedding not only follows the traditional wedding process, but also hosts a charity sale.

At the charity sale site, there is also a special "booth", which is a "Love Micro Wish" claiming wall. 100 children from Shanghai Children's Welfare Institute, Shanghai Community Children, and others have written their wishes in advance. Some have made wishes to obtain a set of painting tools, some want a certain book, and some want to purchase a scientific experiment set... Before the collective wedding ceremony, these wishes from the children have been claimed by the newlyweds and caring individuals participating in the activity. Mr. Zhang, the new couple, smiled and said, "Actually, we have been looking forward to the new trend of civilized, frugal, and healthy marriage customs for a long time, because love is not only a gain, but also a giving."
