The groom, who runs an earthwork transportation business, said his wedding day happened to fall on the opening day of his company, so he decided to pick up his bride with his company's new trucks, to celebrate the "double happiness". The bride also said it's a thoughtful wedding that she will remember for a lifetime.

The new trucks, each adorned with fresh flowers and balloons, attracted lots of onlookers.
