Chinese couple wed in plant bucket

A Chinese couple have been married mid-air in two digger buckets.

The Xi’an couple exchanged vows in the buckets to honour a tradition that the bride’s feet should not touch the ground on the journey from home to the ceremony.

The groom, being a heavy machinery salesman, came up with the idea to use plant to respect the tradition.

The couple are reported to have described the ceremony as “dangerous but sweet”.

One guest, a Ms Yang, said: “It was really cool to have a tractor bucket marriage. Very interesting.”
