Beijing's Brides



love...weddings...THE GOWNS

Every day we would see at least 5 brides (with their grooms) taking photo shoots nearby James' work at this Catholic Cathedral (surprise surprise--in this mostly atheist country, the cathedral is more of a tourist location and a place where all the adults gather at night to get their "dancing" in...or work out.)

We learned quickly that these couples likely wouldn't get married for another year. But because the appearance of the wedding (the "Face") was so important, they had to start early....And start EXPENSIVE.
