Puppy love: Canine weddings on the rise in China

In a charming outdoor wedding ceremony complete with balloons, streamers, a delicious cake, and an audience of more than 50, golden retrievers Bree and Bond tied the knot in front of their closest human and canine friends.
Pet weddings are on the rise in China, where government policies have had little success in encouraging more humans to wed in this fast-ageing society where the population is declining while marriage and birth rates remain low.
The popularity of pets and an increasing willingness to splurge on them are driving the trend. Spending on furry companions in 2023 rose 3.2% to 279.3 billion yuan ($38.41 billion) from a year earlier, industry figures show.
