Here come the brides!

By Never teh Bride

life_sanya1_0102.jpg

When your wife goes from being your ball and chain to the monkey on your back, you know you have a problem. Just kidding! Nearly a hundred wives did, however, take up the piggyback position on their husbands’ backs to take part in the 11th annual Tianya-Haijiao International Wedding Festival held in Sanya, on the southern tip of Hainan Island, China. The “love marathon,” as it’s known, is meant to reaffirm true love…and also served to promote the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

And if you’re wondering why I haven’t posted more pictures of my own entry into wife-hood, please complain to all my friends and relatives who promised snapshots and have not yet delivered ;-)

    Darn! And here I was hoping this was part of the entertainment at your nuptual celebration! LOL!

    “Okay, all the ladies, you put on these wedding dresses. And you guys, hunker down so they can get on your backs. Good, good. Everyone ready? When I fire this pistol, you run like heck!”
