Wedding Invitations

This winter has been a record in cold temperatures and snowfall around many parts of the world. While the snowfall is great for the areas that have been suffering from droughts the past few years, the weather is causing all kinds of challenges. In some parts of southern China the temperature has dropped far below what the homes were built for. For example, in Macau it’s normally warm or hot all year round. So their homes aren’t typically built with heaters like ours are in the US and Canada. With the recent temperatures in the high 30’s (F) they’re finding it very difficult to stay warm.
 
Now taking us further north in China, there have been many delays and other problems due to the frequency and amount of snowfall. With this come many stories, including one in southwest Sichuan where a couple got stranded by the snow on the way to their wedding ceremony. Instead, they were married on the road. I guess they didn’t want to wait. You can be sure that will be a story to tell for generations.

This story also opens up the opportunity to create a whole new set of wedding etiquette guidelines. “Roadside wedding etiquette”.
