219: love expressed, and shared

I think the message within today's linked article from China View (Xinhua) is probably 'love conquers all'... It tells of Chinese couples that have recently tied the knot via videoconference, in both cases with the bridegroom joining the wedding ceremony from the site of the earthquake rescue in Sichuan province. Indeed, one of the couples concerned turned their ceremony into a fundraiser for quake victims, apparently raising nearly $23,000. There's something very poignant about that, given the amount some couples spend on their wedding parties these days...
