A Chinese couple who wanted to have the most expensive wedding convoy possible arranged for a convoy of top of the range cars including a stretch Hummer followed by Lamborghinis, Porsches and other VIP motors. And to make sure that the crowds lining the street were suitably large, they also hired a team of volunteers to give away tiny sealed envelopes containing various amounts of cash to passers-by who queued to watch what was going on. Pictures show the convoy of cars stretching down the street in the city of Dongguan in central China's Guangdong province, with the enthusiastic waving crowd clutching the envelopes containing the cash and wishing the happy couple good luck. Chinese media that reported extensively about the procession said the pair were both in their mid-20s, and decided they wanted to have an eye-catching ceremony so that everyone else could share in their happy day. The couple were not named but the husband is reportedly the multimillionaire owner and manager of an e-commerce company that apparently only started trading a year ago. In an interview with local media the unnamed groom said: "I only started trading recently and we had a huge financial windfall, and I wanted to make everyone shared in my good fortune to bring luck for me and my bride in our future life together." The envelopes contained amounts ranging between the equivalent of 1 GBP and 10 GBP, a relatively large amount by Chinese standards and guaranteeing an enthusiastic reception for the bride and groom. It also guaranteed extensive local coverage, sparking rumours that the couple were not getting married at all, and in fact it was just an elaborate PR stunt for a local company looking to grab headlines and promote their name.
