CLICK PREMARITAL

visiting Beijing can also happen to run into large groups of prospective spouses in search of the angle perfect to be immortalized before the ” yes.”

It is May 2 , in the middle of the bridge Labour Day , and every corner of the historic Beijing bustles with visitors. But the Temple of Heaven , the Temple for the prayers of the sovereign of Imperial China , now seems rather the set of a period film . Photographers trot that tired from one point to another , stage assistants , makeup artists and hairdressers. The scenario , that certainly could be misleading and suggest a film set in the Qing Dynasty . Those portrayed in these photos, however, are certainly not Chinese movie star , but rather pairs of bride and groom looking perfect angle in which to take their wedding album. So while we wander fascinated in the courtyards of the temple, we happen to see all of a sudden in the middle of hundreds of tourists a dozen pairs of bride and groom posing with photographers in tow. According to tradition, as we said Wang Liqing , one of the photographers : ” The photos for a Chinese wedding are very important, but mostly they are an integral part of the ceremony ; that’s why they are taken days before the moment of yes. ” In short, choosing a very sunny day and you go around Beijing in search of scenarios significant enough to end up as a background for photos of the bride and groom . ” Those , however, are not worn the same clothes that will be placed on the wedding day , explains Liqing , but are fittati specially for this occasion ” dresses in short scene . A riot of colors, especially red, but also very white in imitation of the Western model , long gloves , bouquets and various other trappings of the scene. It does not matter if the clothes are not the right size, will be adapted to the body of the model of the moment with showy pins on the back ; Who cares if hidden in the folds of a gorgeous white dress there you can see a pair of Converse torn , what matters is the result. Moreover, what seems to us absolutely singular , let others visiting Chinese absolutely indifferent. Nobody , apart from tourists , seems to us truly the case . So, in a day of vacation such as this, in which each building ‘s historic imperial Beijing is filled almost to bursting with tourists jostling , married couples still manage to carve out a corner of their own, in which lay more or less undisturbed by the crowd around them. If it is true that between husband and wife is best not to put your finger : “Ma’am, can go to take his souvenir photos later? Here we would be working on it! ”
