Ma and Yue drink "cross-cupped wine" on their wedding day in Hua county, Henan province, May 1, 2014. The couple met two years ago in Yue's hometown in Jinhua city, Zhejiang province. As – according to Chinese tradition - the bride expects to live in her new husband's home after the wedding, Ma wanted to offer some sort of comfort to her parents by introducing a new "bride" so that they would feel they had gained a daughter-in-law – and to hold a separate wedding ceremony in her hometown in Henan province - and Yue agreed to the idea of dressing as the "bride".
