Many Couples Register on "520" Day in China

Many Couples Register in The Civil Affairs Department on "520" Day. A bride and a bridegroom pose for photos after registering as a married couple at a marriage registry in Jinan City, east China's Shandong Province, May 20, 2013. As the pronunciation of the date number "520" sounds similiar to "I love you" in Chinese, many people chose to register as couples on Monday.

The Civil Affairs Department: 民政处mín zhènɡ chù
marriage registry: 婚姻登记处hūnyīn dēnɡjì chù
bride: 新娘xīn niánɡ
