Love for the Land of Waters and Rivers-Rose Marriage Ceremony
Each year, on 9th, October, seven cities in East China will jointly hold a Rose Marriage Ceremony. The theme of the activity in Suzhou is associated with the love for the land of waters and rivers. Hundreds of newly wedded couple will arrive at the city's central square by air, water or land. Through major streets, they will go to the downtown area by dozens of open cars and hold their marriage ceremony there. Then they will go to the ancient waterside towns to take part in the conventional programs, such as "quick boat to welcome the newly wedded couples", "to turn the millstone together", "three classical bows". The rosy and grand ceremony will surely leave the everlasting sweet memories to the participants.
