'Wedding photos' tie couple together

Childhood memories are cherished throughout our lives. That is the case in a story of two childhood playmates who playfully took wedding photos and actually got married when they grew up.

Gao Lin and Gao Tian were close friends as children. Both families ran photo studios in Yanshan, Hebei province.

When they were five years old, their parents proposed that the two take a series of "wedding photos". Later, Gao Tian moved away when his parents changed jobs. The playmates went more than 10 years without seeing each other.

In early 2014, Gao Tian visited Gao Lin's parents with his father, and set his eyes on his friend for the first time in many years. Reminiscent of childhood memories, the pair soon fell in love.

About a year after their reunion, they had a real wedding.
