Holiday bride stuck in traffic weds over airwaves

Bride Yan Mengxia's big day turned into a nightmare when she became stuck in heavy traffic on the way to her wedding during the National Day holiday.

Yan, from Cixi, Zhejiang province, set off at 1 pm on Oct 1 on a 300-kilometer journey to Yongkang, where her fiance and the couple's guests were waiting for her to arrive for the evening ceremony.

The anxious fiance kept calling the hotline of FM93 Traffic Radio for updates on road conditions. At 4 pm, he was told there was no chance of his bride arriving in time - so the radio station conducted the ceremony over the airwaves.
