Matsu Holds Joint Wedding Ceremony in Beigan, Two Couples Tie the Knot

The Lienchiang County Government hosted its second joint wedding ceremony, "Love in Matsu, Bound to the Island," in the picturesque Qinbi Village of Beigan Township.

Two couples, Chen Wan-jen and Wu Chien-pei, and Li Yi-chin and Tsao Yung-ching, exchanged vows and walked the red carpet, surrounded by family, friends, and local dignitaries. The ceremony took place amidst the unique charm of Matsu's traditional stone houses and the stunning coastal scenery.

Matsu, although an outlying island, possesses the most beautiful scenery and the warmest human touch. It is not only the front line of national defense but also an island where happiness can take root and families can be complete.

Lienchiang County Magistrate Wang Chung-ming highlighted the significance of holding the wedding in Qinbi Village, emphasizing Matsu's beauty, warm hospitality, and its role as a secure and happy home. He noted that both couples have strong connections to the military, which has long protected the nation and its people. Wang expressed his gratitude to the military personnel stationed in Matsu and celebrated the couples finding happiness and building their lives on the island.

The first couple, Chen Wan-jen and Wu Chien-pei, are both military personnel who met during their service. The second couple, Li Yi-chin and Tsao Yung-ching, have been together for ten years, with the groom traveling to Matsu to be with his beloved. The wedding coincided with Li Yi-chin's birthday, making the occasion doubly joyous. The celebration included vows, blessings, interactive games, and a buffet, creating a romantic and festive atmosphere enjoyed by the newlyweds, their guests, and local residents.

Seeing military personnel find happiness and form unions on this land of Matsu has special meaning, and I would like to take this opportunity to express my highest respect and gratitude to all military personnel who have long dedicated themselves to the country.
