More and more young adults were reluctant to imitate other's wedding styles, so creative "theme weddings" had become popular in recent years.

More lovers get married in Hangzhou, the "heaven on earth" in Zhejiang Province this year, and they pursue fashionable weddings.

Hangzhou Civil Affairs Bureau reveals that 30 thousand couples registered their marriage in the first half of this year, while only 40 thousand registered in the whole year of 2005.

Nowadays, more and more young white collars in Hangzhou prefer Western-style weddings, seeing this as an excellent business opportunity, many Western food restaurants and cafes make it a point to offer wedding buffets to attract the newly weds.

Most guests are their young friends and colleagues. These young people believe Western-style food and decorations in such restaurants and cafes can create a romantic atmosphere. Currently there are hundreds of wedding celebration agencies in Hangzhou.

The competition being very fierce, each agency tries to beef up its competition edge by offering unique services for their clients. Mr. Wang, who worked for a wedding celebration agency, said more and more young adults were reluctant to imitate other's wedding styles, so creative "theme weddings" had become popular in recent years.
