According to a video posted by Dubai Media Office on Wednesday, Dubai's Love Lakes near Al Qudra transformed into a picturesque landscape for the culturally curious Chinese couples, who wanted to hold their wedding ceremony amid the sprawling tranquillity of Dubai's undulating sand dunes.
The ceremony marked the first time the islands have been used for an exclusive private event, and it was carried off in a typically spectacular Dubai fashion, with the nine bridal dresses fluttering in the desert breeze as an expression of unbridled marital joy.
The highlight of the day for the couples was the surprise appearance of a VIP guest - Dubai's Ruler - who was passing by with his team.

The video was posted by Jenny Tsai, an employee at the wedding dress manufacturer that supplied the dresses for the big day.
Hala China, which aims to promote cultural, trade and tourism ties between the UAE and China, made the occasion possible by seeking out the adventurous 18 Chinese residents and visitors who were looking to hold their wedding day in a unique setting.
