Have you ever dreamt of a fairytale wedding in hanfu? 🌸
On Friday, more than 30 couples from around the world—including Russia, Thailand, and Pakistan—gathered in the ancient city of Xi'an in Shaanxi Province on the Chinese mainland for a one-of-a-kind collective ceremony. Decked out in hanfu, the graceful traditional attire of China's Han ethnic group, these couples embraced centuries-old customs and followed time-honored rituals.
From the "three bows" to tea ceremonies, every moment was steeped in history. Tea ceremonies, where couples serve tea to elders as a sign of respect, were a crowd favorite. 🍵👵👴
What started as a youth-driven trend has now become the go-to choice for couples looking to add a cultural twist to their big day. Think of it as combining your favorite historical K-drama vibes with local flair—minus the subtitles! 🎥✨
For socially conscious couples, this event is more than a wedding—it's a celebration of heritage, diversity, and global friendship. It's a reminder that tradition can unite people from different backgrounds, whether you're sharing samosas in Delhi, pad thai in Bangkok, or biryani in Lahore. 🌏💖
With hanfu's rising popularity on social media, this ceremony is sure to inspire more young couples to infuse their weddings with cultural pride. 📲💍
