Recently, a man from western China's Shaanxi province wed his American fiancé in a traditional Chinese ceremony. The wedding venue was decorated to resemble ancient China, with the bride, groom and everyone in the wedding procession dressed in traditional Chinese costumes. The groom rode in on a horse, attracting quite a bit of attention from curious onlookers.

The 26-year-old groom, surnamed Xue, met his wife while working in the U.S. state of Minnesota. He and his wife, Jessie, soon fell in love and eventually decided to have a traditional Chinese wedding in Xue's hometown.

Xue and his wife are now living and working in Hangzhou.
