Ye Jian(L) and Xing Fang enjoy their joyful moment in a church during their wedding ceremony in Hangzhou, capital of east China's Zhejiang Province May 20, 2006. As the lucky white-collar class members in China, the new couple held a splendid wedding ceremony, costing around 20,000 US dollars on the day. The number of couples got married as well as the wedding consumption have both kept soaring in Hangzhou since January 2006. According to the tradition, this Chinese lunar year, the year of the Dog from Jan. 29, 2006 to Feb. 17, 2007, is considered propitious for marriage as the year covers two ¡°lichun¡± days, the auspicious day marking the beginning of the spring.
