But recently, you may have never seen a unique collective marriage held in the UK, but it has attracted the attention of many people…
The wedding took place in a camping park on Spike Island in Bristol.
At the wedding scene, although more than 70 brides looked different, their ages were not small,
But as brides, the same thing is that they are all well-dressed and attended,
Some wore wedding dresses, and some wore distinctive dresses,
Then… we entered the palace of marriage together
What they hold in their hands is the “groom” in their respective photos ———
A sturdy tree
Ah…this…why is this? ? ?
It turns out that the land where these dozens of big trees are located is about to be developed. The project costing about 55 million pounds will be built including ordinary one, two and three bedrooms, ground-floor commercial office areas, luxury beachfront apartments and affordable housing.
The developer even thought out the slogan:
Golden seaside room with excellent sea view, a rare opportunity.
And if you want to develop this area, you have to clear everything here first-
Including tree.
“Bristol needs mature trees, not luxurious private homes,” said Suzan Hackett, one of the “brides”.
Therefore, in order to keep these trees, a vigorous wedding began like this…
“This is not only an emotional expression, but also has a high meaning and symbolism. Trees are pure unconditional love, which fits perfectly with the concept of marriage. Marriage is for life, and breathing is for life”, said a “bride”.
The organizer of the wedding said that she hopes this time to make people realize that “trees are our lifelong companions.”
Organizers said that the inspiration for this event was Indian women in the 1970s. In order to fight against loggers, they launched the “Hug Tree Movement” to protect trees from being felled.
In fact, “marrying” to a tree is not the first time…
In 2019, Kate Cunningham, a 34-year-old British woman who was already the mother of two children, got married with a big tree.
Kate said that she hopes to use this method to arouse attention and oppose the use of bulldozers to level the park and build roads.
Later, after marrying this tree, Kate simply changed her surname and followed her husband’s surname-Elder, because her “husband tree” is an old tree…
Having said that, the spokesperson of the Bristol City Council has already responded to this matter, saying that the planning application for this piece of land is being reconsidered, and the result is not yet known.
But seeing that so many people are married to the tree, I don’t even know what the “groom” thinks?
