Eight bicycles to greet the bride
Without a luxurious motorcade or firecrackers, on June 1st, a wedding procession of eight bicycles and a sightseeing vehicle weaved through the city, attracting the attention of many passersby.
On the morning of the 1st, on Wuyingshan Road in Tianqiao District, eight wedding bicycles, adorned with ribbons and balloons on their handlebars, rode along the road. Leading the procession, the groom rode his bicycle, alongside a red bicycle with a bouquet in the basket. The bride, in a striking white wedding dress, was a captivating sight. Both beamed with joy. Amidst the curious glances and well wishes of onlookers, the procession slowly moved forward. The two-kilometer journey wasn't long, leaving the groomsmen and bridesmaids wanting more.
The reporter learned that the groom, Yu Peng, is a member of the 80s generation, working in the Qilu Software Park as a computer professional—a true engineering man. However, even engineering men have their romantic side. He explained that he and the bride are both from Jinan, introduced by a friend, and have been dating for over two years. Yu Peng said he had this idea six months ago, and the bride, Zhao Yue, also dislikes ostentatious displays and didn't want an extravagant wedding. "Besides, our families live so close, a car would get us there in a flash, so we declined the offer from friends to use their private cars," Yu Peng said with a smile.
The couple agreed on the wedding arrangements. Their only concern was whether the bride's parents would object. After explaining their idea, they received their full support. "Using bicycles for the wedding procession is low-carbon and romantic, romantic without being wasteful. We mainly wanted to use a special way to commemorate this happy day, making it feel particularly meaningful," Yu Peng said with a smile. Yu Peng told the reporter that the bicycles were borrowed from friends, trying to find similar models. Although the colors and models varied, they held special commemorative value.
Yu Peng's parents told the reporter, "Following our son's suggestion, we didn't even set off firecrackers. With increasing haze, holding such a wedding conveys a low-carbon and environmentally friendly message, promoting green travel, and everyone is very supportive." Both sets of parents agreed, believing that a wedding is ultimately just a formality, and marriage ultimately returns to the everyday realities of life. The true essence is mutual support and companionship through thick and thin. Their marriage is a lifelong commitment, and their future life together is the true meaning of marriage.
