China International Wedding Expo opens in Beijing

The 15th China International Wedding Expo has been held in one of Beijing's biggest exhibition halls over the weekend.

Companies are offering an all-in-one service for those who are planning their weddings. From wedding dresses and jewelry to albums and banquets, from vehicles to honeymoons, love may not cost a thing, but a wedding certainly does.

People who were born in 1980s are turning 30 and have become the major customers for today's wedding industry. Young sweethearts try their best to make their big day distinctive and memorable. They have their parents fully support because that generation didn't have proper weddings. The parents want their child to have the wedding they never had. That's why a tailored service has become popular. An overseas wedding is no longer just a luxury for celebrities or the rich but is now affordable for many ordinary couples.

Because people consider wedding as a once-in-a-life time event, the cost of weddings are always a generous sum which described as worthwhile.

A wedding not only needs money, but also patience, energy, time, and the list goes on. The wedding expo certainly made that easy for the lovebirds.
