SYMBOL OF LOVE AND MARRIAGE


Symbolism plays an important role in the everyday lives of many Chinese people.  During Red Occasions like Weddings and Birthdays, there would always be the auspicious words and symbols.  The His and Hers handphone accessories above of a Chinese Bride and Groom, dressed in traditional matrimonial costumes, are specially designed in a state of forever sweetness, which represents bliss in love, cherishment and care of each other. Some Feng Shui enthusiasts believe that this is a great feng shui symbol for single men and ladies to have. 
Does it work?  From my experience it does not as I have lots of these symbols at home.  You must be thinking that this lady is SOOOO desperate to get married, right?  Well, actually I wrote a yet to be published book on auspicious Chinese occasions like weddings and bought a lot of such items so that I could photograph them for the book.  Then I took a liking to the Chinese bride and groom symbols and would buy them as keepsakes.
