This is not just any group wedding; it is one that honors Chinese wedding rituals from 2,000 years ago. In Wuyi County of Zhejiang province, four couples from six different countries put on Han Dynasty costumes to get married the traditional way. For the couples, the Chinese wedding tradition is fascinating.

Like their Western counterparts, more young Chinese today are getting married in white gowns and black tuxedoes.

The bold red used in traditional Chinese weddings offers a stark contrast, but those time-honored values of love and companionship will always be the same.
