A young couple in China wanted a different wedding. They did not use wedding cars, a paid host or a video team. The groom did not go to collect the bride. Instead, the couple focused on good food and their guests.
Their wedding was simpler, but not everything was cheap. They still spent about 70,000 yuan on food. They also traveled to take wedding photos. They chose what mattered most to them.
Some young couples want less stress on their wedding day. Others want to save money. But families may still value old customs. Some couples keep these customs and add their own ideas. A simpler wedding can still feel special.
