Have you ever seen a wedding like this, where gifts are only books?

You don't need to give gifts to attend the wedding? Just send a book? You heard me right, it's true. On August 27th, this unique wedding was held in Tieling. The guests attending the wedding each gave the couple a book, and when they left, the couple gave back a book.

Unique wedding celebration: no gifts, only books

At 9: 58 am on August 27th, a couple's wedding was being held in a hotel in Tieling New Town. Different from the common wedding celebrations, the arch is not made up of flowers, but of books, and the bouquets on both sides of the ladder where the bride and groom walk are replaced by piles of books. What is even more unusual is that there are no red envelopes at the wedding scene. The desk in front of the door, which should have been credited with gifts, is also full of books.

The guests are holding a carefully selected book with words of blessing written on the title page. A couple bent down to take it, and returned it to the guests with the words "Endeavour * * *" written on the title page.

At the wedding ceremony, there were no usual round tables, wine and delicacies, but chairs were arranged in rows, and the guests sat safely. On the big background wall of the hall, the four characters of "Scholarly Wedding" are particularly eye-catching, telling the guests that this is a special wedding.

The groom of this wedding is Li Zheng, a 36-year-old Tieling native, and the bride is Xu Tingting, a girl from Jinzhou who he conquered with his own talents. Matchmaking is an article.

an essay on the internet has a hundred years of love

Li Zheng never thought that a casual text published on the internet more than ten years ago would let him meet his current lover.

Li Zheng likes literature, reading and occasionally writing essays. More than ten years ago, shortly after he joined the work, he wrote an article "searching for you" on his blog, which was signed by He Siyin.

after writing a note, Li Zheng kept writing for more than ten years. In November 216, Li Zheng's e-mail box suddenly received an email. "It's from an aunt in Jinzhou." Li Zheng said, unexpectedly, this aunt will become her mother-in-law.

It turns out that this aunt saw this searching for you written by Li Zheng on the Internet. "This young man has a good writing style!" Then he paid attention to Weibo who didn't inherit the sound. Since then, this aunt has read all Li Zheng's articles and is becoming more and more interested in him.

My aunt learned from her blog that Li Zheng didn't have a girlfriend, and her daughter didn't marry, so she recommended all the articles written by Li Zheng to her daughter Xu Tingting. It doesn't matter at first sight. Tingting, who also likes literature, was instantly attracted by the big boy's words.

In this way, with the help of Miss Ting's mother, two unmarried men and women have gradually developed into today's lovers from the initial WeChat contact.

"Scholarly Wedding" Deduces Love Legend

Marriage is an important event in life, but Li Zheng has long planned how to make a wedding of his own. "There is no gift, and each guest gives me a book, and I also give them a book back." Li Zheng said that this is not only a requirement to implement the eight central regulations, but also a wedding that he has always wanted to hold.

Ms. Ting doesn't object to Li Zheng's idea of holding an "elegant wedding". The phrase "I listen to you" shows that you are jealous of me. Li Zheng's mother didn't object either. She just said, "You decide your own business."

It was Li Zheng's friends who raised the objection first. "I summed up, there are two kinds of objections. One is that I have spent a lot of money over the years, and if I don't accept it, I will lose. The other is, after friends get married, who will look for you? Looking for you. Are you going or not? 。” Li Zheng said that he did work for more than ten years and followed many gifts. And because of this, I decided not to collect the gift money. Although it will cost tens of thousands of yuan, in his eyes, books are much more valuable than gifts.

after explaining to these good friends, everyone finally supported him to hold an "elegant wedding". Xiao He, a friend, said that he knew that Li Zhengzheng held such a wedding a month ago. "It was very unexpected at the time. After all, it is normal to get married and receive gifts. But I know Li Zheng, so I understand it. " Xiao He said that getting married and receiving gifts has become somewhat stale. I remember that when the older generation got married, everyone gave a pillow towel kettle or something, which meant that. Now, not only is it a gift, but the amount is getting bigger and bigger, and the meaning has changed, which has also become a burden for everyone. Everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak, and no one dares to try. "We all admire and support Li Zheng's courage to break the custom."

with the support of friends, a wedding planning team was established one week before the wedding. Li Zheng bought 2 books and spent three nights writing a message on each book returned to the guests.

Li Zheng told reporters that in fact, the purpose of his "scholarly wedding" is not to change the customs, but he has greater "ambitions". "I just hope that more people will study, like reading, and make reading a fashion!" Li Zheng said.

At the wedding scene, the guests gave the couple a book carefully selected and written with a message as a blessing, and the couple also gave back a book. Everyone ate a buffet, which was neither extravagant nor wasteful. Although there was no fuss, everyone enjoyed the wine.
