A Special Wedding Ceremony for 16 Couples at Luoyang

脱掉战袍换上红装 16对“战疫”情侣举办别样婚礼

 

On the morning of August 9, a special wedding ceremony for 16 couples was organized at the Yingtianmen gate (widely known as the “Impregnable Gate in the World”) by Luoyang Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League. Following the wedding tradition of the Han (206 BC - 220 AD) and Tang (618 - 917) dynasties, the couples wearing the traditional costumes were stepping into the gate ritually.

8月9日上午,由洛阳团市委主办的战疫新人中式集体婚礼在有着“天下第一门”之称的洛阳应天门举行。16对新人身着汉服,按照汉唐婚礼传统一一行礼,携手步入婚姻殿堂。

Affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, young people who work in different positions sacrificed a lot for the virus fighting. Facing the pandemic, some of them postponed or canceled their wedding ceremonies, some held simple ones in a hurry. These heart-warming stories presenting in different ways moved us. 

受新冠肺炎疫情影响,许多青年舍小家为大家,在不同的岗位并肩“战疫”,他们或推迟婚期,或取消、简办庆典,演绎了一个个动人暖心的故事。

In this special ceremony, the 16 couples are separately from the medical front line, the police offices and the emergency departments. Instead of “coat armors”, they were dressed in traditional Han clothing for relevant rituals directed by the masters of the ceremony. Witnessed by their friends and relatives, the 16 couples solemnly swore on their true love and responsibilities, and made a lifelong commitment to the oath.

参加此次集体婚礼16对新人,有来自抗疫前线的医护人员,也有服务基层的公安干警,还有应急部门的消防救援队员。他们脱下战袍换上汉服,按照传统习俗,在赞礼官、侍者的引领下,完成了却扇、沃盥、敬天地、同牢、合卺、结发、佩绶、执手、昭告天地等仪式,在现场亲友的见证下,庄重宣告彼此对于爱情的选择和责任,许下了承诺一生的誓言。

According to the organizer, the ceremony for the “anti-pandemic” couples is not only a sincere move by the Youth League to show high respect to the young people at the front line, but also a powerful measure to disseminate a more civilized, healthy and rational value on marriage and love.

活动主办方表示,举办战疫新人中式集体婚礼,既是共青团对抗疫一线青年表达崇高敬意的诚心之举,也是立足于引领青年婚恋观念更加文明、健康、理性的有力举措。(中文/河南日报、大河报 翻译/赵汉青 审校/焦丹)
