September 9 is an auspicious day for weddings, according to Chinese
tradition. In Chengdu, the capital of western China's Sichuan province, a
couple have made their wedding stand out from the rest by using bus
number 27 for their wedding transportation, as that bus line is where
they both work and where they met and fell in love.

The couple are both employees of the city's public transportation
company. The bride, Liu Min, works as a ticket-seller, and the groom,
Wang Dong, is a bus driver. They met three years ago when working on the
same bus and that's when their romance began. Therefore the bus is
special to them, and they decided to make it their wedding vehicle
instead of using a traditional fancy limo. "We love our jobs," says the
groom, "and the bus is the witness of our love."

Besides its distinctiveness, the "wedding bus" is also an economic and
environmentally-friendly method of transportation. According to the
groom, renting a motorcade of limos for a wedding costs over 10,000 yuan,
while renting a bus costs only about 1,000 yuan, including the cost of
decorating. "It not only saves money, but also creates less pollution for
the air," the groom says. "We recommend it for all wedding couples."
