Random Brides
On the way to meet a friend I came across an interesting occurrence. There were around 10 women dressed in white western wedding gowns coming out of a shop that I assumed were selling wedding gowns. They were all line up with a man beside each and went across the road heading towards the shopping mall in that direction. I have no idea as to what they were doing and I did not follow them because I was running late, it is just one of the strange things that you see and wonder about. I did sneak a picture, not a very good one but I did not want to be a weird white person openly taking a picture of them. In the first picture they are the group you see behind the cars, and the girls are wearing coats over their dresses.

My guess is they might have been doing a group wedding reception at a restaurant in or near the shopping mall, or they were all going for wedding photos at a photography studio in the mall. Very few people in China actually buy their wedding garb-- but usually rent and take elaborate glamour shot/ wedding photos with their husband or wife to be. Another possibility is if they are young college aged women, it has become popular to take graduation photos with their significant other in wedding gowns. Don't ask me why-- I guess it is "romantic"??
