Wu Bin, an army officer in Tibet: Wish to have a simple and warm wedding
　
Now in my hometown Urumqi, the cost of a moderate wedding for an ordinary family is over 50,000 yuan; and with cost of new home, decoration and new car for newlyweds, most family cannot afford a wedding.

Now, some of my colleagues and classmates chose to attend group wedding ceremony for saving money and having fun. They enjoyed the lively atmosphere and sincere blessings from strangers at group wedding; some chose to go travel to celebrate their marriage. I admire them and also dream a simple and warm wedding just like theirs.
　
Chen Xiguo, a retired cadre: Frugal wedding should be advocated
　　
Wedding is a life event, so people should celebrate their marriage. But during my time, my wife and I had no money to hold wedding, so we just went travel as celebration. Although no wedding, no motorcade, no reception, no guest, no new home, no new furniture, our marriage has lasted for more than 40 years, and our life is happy and spirited.

Weng Haili, a villager from Ningxia: No extravagant wedding

Village people are making more money in recent year, and wedding in village is also getting more extravagant. In my opinion, village cadres should take a positive attitude to eliminate that kind of wasting, and we also need take a lesson of “The extravagance causes failure and success comes from thrift”.
