The wedding ceremony proceeded smoothly, with the grooms Fan Chengwen and Tang Guangdi leading the brides out by holding their feet. The scene was met with enthusiastic applause from the audience. "Throughout our lives, we have been companions to each other, enjoying a harmonious and happy relationship," said the sisters, whose words moved their father to tears of joy.
"I've always had a great relationship with my sister. We used to play together as children, and now we are getting married on the same day. It's incredible that this dream has come true," said Zhang Haolin, dressed in a beautiful wedding dress, looking at her sister who stood beside her also in bridal attire. Both sisters are originally from Chongqing; one is 27 years old, and the other is 25.
"After graduating from university in Hangzhou, I started working for a pharmaceutical import company. My sister studied primary education in Shaoxing but also returned to Hangzhou after graduation and became a doctor. After marriage, we continued living together," they recounted how they met their respective partners. They both felt it was fate that brought them together, "We almost met our significant others around the same time. Interestingly, my sister's husband was my classmate in high school."
Childhood Promise: To Become the Happiest Brides
"Their bond is truly admirable and touching. What's remarkable is that due to a childhood promise, they have always encouraged each other, striving hard in Hangzhou until they reached the altar together. It was a romantic and warm moment for us to witness," said Jin Chun, the wedding MC.
At 6:18 PM last night, the ceremony officially began. A small screen started playing a love MV featuring the two sisters' stories. Since not everyone was informed about the joint wedding beforehand, many guests were amazed when they saw the heartwarming story unfold on the screen: "We envy them so much. Growing up together and then getting married on the same day—it's truly remarkable."

With similar experiences of meeting, knowing, and falling in love, the sisters recalled their childhood promise. "After completing our marriage registrations, we thought about having a joint wedding. Our father is from Zhoushan. If we do it together, he only needs to make one trip."
