Dressed in white wedding dresses and black suits, seven couples posed with big smiles in front of unfinished buildings or gardens they helped build.
Seven Chinese couples working at a construction site in Changsha, central China's Hunan Province, took wedding pictures at and nearby their worksite on Monday, right before this year's Qixi Festival, which falls on August 25.
The grooms and brides chose different background scenarios at the site, including the pavilion, a garden, a gate, and even unfinished buildings.
"We didn't even take a photo together when we got married, and I always felt I owed her something," said Xu Aiguo, a 57-year-old builder from Hunan, adding that their family was too poor to cover the extra expense at that time. The new pictures are the first wedding photos out of the 35 years of their marriage."Before, we had worked at different construction sites in various cities across China, and I've never imagined that one day, I would take these wedding photos here in Changsha," Xu's wife Deng Xiuzhen added.
The unique wedding pictures soon went viral online, gaining over one million views on China's Twitter-like platform Weibo before the Qixi Festival arrived.
