Chinese Weddings

Yesterday I wandered around a part of Shanghai called Lujiazui. Lujiazui is the embodiment of the new Shanghai. It is the financial center of Shanghai - and home to most of the really tall buildings. It also contains a large central park with trees and grass(a rarity in the heart of Shanghai) and an idyllic pond with lilies and flowers petals floating on the surface. A very surreal place - surrounded by some of the world's tallest buildings. It is a point of interest because this park is very popular for weddings and wedding photos. As I wandered around the park yesterday - maybe 5 acres in total area - I came across EIGHT different Chinese bridal parties.

As with most things in Shanghai - you might notice a Western influence in the wedding attire.
