Display of wealth to no purpose

The photograph of a bride wearing three necklaces and about 70 gold bracelets during an extravagant wedding ceremony in Zhongshan, Guangdong province, posted on the Internet has sparked a heated online debate. Some people may have criticized the bride out of jealousy or envy, but one thing is for certain that a vulgar display of wealth does not guarantee a happy marriage, says an article in Qianjiang Evening News. Excerpts:

Indeed, a person has the right to decide what he/she will wear on a certain occasion. But the daughter of a local tycoon wearing dozens of ounces of gold ornaments on the day of her marriage may look like a figure enacting a farce.
