You can read the story here on the China Daily website. The Bird's Nest, one of the major Olympic Games venues in Beijing in August 2008, has been a popular tourist spot since the games finished.
But not only tourist wish to visit, but last week 230 policemen who worked in security during the Olympic Games made the Bird's Nest the venue for their wedding. All at the same time.
What a picture that would make and you can check out the photo here.
The article in the China Daily stated that they "tied the knot" - terminology that I know of course, but wondered if it had come from the old Chinese custom of tying a knot at the wedding ceremony. I don't think it is done now, but this photo in a museum in Wuzhen will forever remind me that it was probably words that were taken from Chinese.
