Beautiful bride, handsome groom, fragrant flowers, mellow wine, and best
wishes from friends and relatives -- these are usually what a wedding ceremony
is all about. But for that of Huang Chun and Liu Aili, there is something more.

Huang Chun takes her bride -- Liu Aili in arms
to the venue for their wedding ceremony on Tuesday.
| Huang Chun, a handsome and staunch believer in
love, married his beloved woman, a malignant leukemia patient with only 180 days
to live, in Deyang County of Southwest China's Sichuan Province on Tuesday,
reported the Chongqing Morning News.
For the 25-year-old Liu Aili, the day was in every way a big day. On that
day, she became the wife of her most beloved man, Huang Chun, and received from
him a lifetime promise of love and care for her till death do them part.
In addition, a beam of hope shone on her with the surprising appearance of a
bone marrow donor at the wedding ceremony.
A bolt from the blue
A native of Shifang County in Sichuan, Liu was an employee with the Deyang
Municipal Transportation Bureau. One day in 2003, Huang, a native of southwest
China's Chongqing Municipality and then a junior in Sichuan University's
Architecture Department, traveled to Deyang. He came upon Liu while singing in a
karaoke bar, and the two fell in love at first sight.
In order to stay with Liu, Huang went to work in a decoration company after
graduation. From then on they enjoyed a plain and happy life, and planned to get
married in this October.
