The couple, who did postgraduate studies together and have been partners for more than six years, said they are both ready to get married.
Accompanied by their friends, Beijing residents Luo Chen and Meng Jiayi waited for almost two hours to get married on Tuesday. They chose the date because getting married is an important event and they want their marriage to be memorable.
