A woman from Tangshan, North China's Hebei Province, woke up on her wedding day only to find that her bridegroom cannot step out of his residential compound due to the anti-pandemic movement control measure and the wedding had to be canceled.

Instead of getting upset, the woman packed up her luggage and went to her husband's residential compound. The couple joined the line for nucleic acid testing inside the community after the bride arrived. Others waiting in line congratulated their marriage and let them go first for the test.

The hashtag "Bride goes to her bridegroom's sealed community alone to marry him" became a hot topic on China's Twitter-like Sina Weibo with more than 200 million views and comments as of press time. Touched by the bride's decision under the special circumstance, netizens sent their best wishes to the new couple.

"I admire the bride's optimistic and positive attitude. I wish her a happy marriage," said one netizen. "A couple of loving hearts matters much more than the wedding," another commented.
