Eight newlywed couples take part in a group wedding at Gate 520 of Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport yesterday. Couples across the country rushed to tie the knot May 20, as the date “520” is a popular homophone for “I love you” in Mandarin. The day has become a premier choice for marriage registrations. In Guangdong Province, all appointments at Guangzhou’s 15 registration offices, as well as those in Shenzhen, have been fully booked by the first week of this month, according to a China Daily report.Courtesy of the airport
