has a kind of solemnity and form, a kind of beauty and appearance, and a kind of affection and romance. That is the military wedding. Military love and military marriage are always full of stories, unforgettable, and are touched by the ordinary. Although the vows that we have been together forever are rarely fulfilled, the military wife can best understand her husband's loyalty in patriotism and the party; although she has fewer separations and more bitter lovesickness, the military love makes them support each other and never leave each other.
"I am proud, I am the wife of a soldier!" As the song was singing, military wife Zhang Shan remembered her husband Yu Xianghu rushed to the military parade training ground. Zhang Shan's home is less than one kilometer away from the railway station of the army. Yu Xianghu had been on railway loading mission three times before performing the military parade. Even so, he had never squeezed out time to go home and take a look. Before leaving, the couple bid farewell reluctantly. Her husband looked at the direction of the home on the train, while his wife could only stand at the door of the house, watching the train gradually drift away, silently looking forward to her husband's triumphant victory as soon as possible.
"I have always wanted to hold a grand wedding for my wife. Because of my special position and busy work, I always have no chance to go out to perform tasks. My wife and I usually have few opportunities to meet. We can attend a group wedding with so many comrades and get blessings from our comrades. We feel very happy and meaningful!" Zhao Dong, an instructor at a deep mountain outpost, met his wife for 4 years, but the total time they spent together was less than 4 months standing in the "happiness" and the couple was very happy.
This collective wedding also received strong support from the local Women's Federation and many enterprises and institutions. Most of the "groom officials" who participated in the collective wedding came from the front-line troops.
