Today in China, more and more young couples are trying to make that day something really special- putting more effort than ever into choosing where and how to tie the knot. 

Cost used to put overseas weddings out of the question. But with improving living standards and a growing number of services, it's getting easier for many young couples to celebrate their weddings far away from home. But even if they don't leave the neighborhood, many are finding exciting ways to liven up the day.

Guan Zhigang, wedding creative director, said, "Holding a concert or a party is a popular way to celebrate a marriage. Couples can invite relatives and friends to share in the happiness."

Traditional Tang, and western style church weddings are becoming more popular, as are theme weddings. Lan Xuefang, wedding planner, said, "Cartoon style weddings are attracting cute girls who want to dress up as Snow White or Cinderella. During western style weddings, they can hold cocktail parties where the bride and groom waltz."

A Mu, a wedding designer, said, "A special private theater is a great way to wow guests. This year, many bridegrooms are likely to screen the short movies to impress attendees."

Romantic and sacred, outdoors or in the subway - More than ever, wedding ceremonies can come in all shapes and sizes.
