78 Chinese couples tied the knot on Korean soil, vowing eternal love on the scenic Haeundae Beach


The couples' marriages were officiated by Busan City's very own mayor Seo Byeong Soo on the afternoon of October 26. 


Mayor Seo said, "On behalf of the 3,600,000 Busan citizens, I sincerely congratulate you all in your matrimony and I hope that you live long and happy lives." 


The couples landed in Korea on October 25 and got their wedding pictures taken at popular tourist attractions such as Haeundae Beach and Dongbaekseom Island. The lovebirds also experienced the booming medical tourism in Korea by visiting various institutions for a firsthand look at beauty, plastic surgery, and LASIK.

Originally, 100 couples from 100 different cities in China were supposed to participate in the event for three days and four nights; however, a total of 78 couples actually attended the event.
