A bus driver celebrated her wedding by driving a bus for 40 minutes before her ceremony in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, on Sunday.

The bride, Xiong Xuqiong, drives the No 81 route. All buses on the route were decorated with flowers and balloons that day.

Then, at 9:10 am, Xiong took off her bridal veil, put on her uniform and drove her bus from one terminal to the other.

On board, passengers learned she was the bride, got candies from her maids, and gave Xiong their best wishes.

At the other terminal, the groom and Xiong's colleagues were waiting for her on a bus that Xiong has been driving since she first became a bus driver and where the wedding was held.
