Fashionably White

Last weekend I spotted this lovely young bride on the Great Wall. She is wearing white, which is considered fashionable and western-style. Red would have been traditional. Apparently lots of brides now marry in white, and also -- rumour goes -- most spend more on this kind of photo session than on the wedding it self.

More wedding.

I was fashionably dressed in white myself that day.

The Great Wall at Mutianyu.

In Chinese, the Great Wall is called "Chang Cheng," long wall. I think you can see why.

In het Nederlands: Fotootjes van de Chinese muur. De bruid is niet in een traditionele rode jurk, maar lekker in een "Westerse" witte trouwjurk.
