Around 200 single women attended a speed dating event with unmarried male soldiers at a local military canteen in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province on Saturday.

The young women came from different careers and backgrounds in Wuhan and all wished to be married to a military officer. Due to the lack of solider candidates, though, the women outnumbered the men.

As love was in the air, ten soldiers and their wives made their marriage vows in preparation of the event.

This kind of speed dating event, between the military and women is in its 10th year running and has allowed more than 100 couples to meet.
