Netizens were amazed while blessing - the topic of "it turns out that marriage can also be published" appeared on social platforms hot search.

This unique "official announcement" has made many prospective newcomers who have chosen an auspicious day to get their certificates eager to try, and also made many single friends who are eager to find love feel the mutual value of newcomers across the screen: "I began to believe in love again." ”

Open the social platform, the new game of reporting marriage has long been popular among the post-95s and post-00s young people. Many people have posted their marriage announcements published in newspapers, and more young people have taken this happy news abroad and published it in foreign newspapers in Chinese.

In newspaper pages, these notices are the size of tofu blocks, and may be difficult to spot if you don't pay special attention.

The text of the announcement is also basically the same: "Mr. ××× and Ms. ××× officially married on × ×, ×. ”

Occasionally, a marriage announcement will add a good expectation at the end of the text: "May the red rope be tied and the white head be forever." "With the covenant of the white head, the book is written to the great note, so that the alliance of the red leaves may be contained in the genealogy." ......

Although the number of words is not many and the layout is very inconspicuous, this kind of retro and novel gameplay still makes many people feel envious and want to try.

Some netizens left a message below the comment area for advice, and even if someone supported it, a certain e-commerce platform can self-log in, not only can choose various newspapers and periodicals in different places according to needs, "the cheapest hundred yuan can be published."

Prices vary depending on the type of newspaper and the city in which they are located. (Photo/Screenshot of a self-service login mini program)

In addition to e-commerce software, there are also mini programs for related services. After filling in the information according to the given template, choose the time and number of publications, and you can also get the newspaper published on the day as a souvenir. "The editor in charge of the publication will also help review the text and even edit the content, which is much more time-saving than writing a typo yourself."

This also allows many traditional paper media to find traffic passwords. After the topic appeared on the hot search, many print media reprinted the topic article on the public account, and attached the publication process by the way. Some newspapers even set up a "True Confession" column, leaving a "throne" for young newlyweds who heard the news and published their happy events.

After "marriage in the newspaper" became a hot search topic, someone turned to a news article from ten years ago:

A Shanghai netizen posted a post asking for help, trying to find the marriage notice published by his grandparents in the newspaper. Netizens forwarded the relay, and finally, with the help of the Shanghai Library, the old couple found proof of tying the knot - a wedding notice published on the front page of the Shanghai page of the Peace Daily on November 26, 1945.

It seems that the trend is a reincarnation, and today's post-95s and post-00s young people are vying to report marriage, as early as the Republic of China decades ago, it was sought after by young people at that time.

A museum specializing in marriage literature exhibits a newspaper from 1939 (the 28th year of the Republic of China), one of which was published on the front page, which reads: "Lu Quanxin and Liang Hanying's engagement revelation: I hereby accept the introduction of Mr. Gao Lin and Liu Ansheng and obtain the consent of both parents, and hereby get engaged on October 27, the 28th year of the Republic of China. ”

After all, newspapers were the most powerful communication tools in those days, and publishing a marriage (or engagement) notice in the newspaper is equivalent to posting a picture on Weibo or in the circle of friends today to obtain an "official announcement" to get a certificate, announcing their life events to the world, which is naturally widely loved by newcomers. Especially for newcomers and families who are open-minded, economically advantageous and have extensive social relations, the publication of a declaration of marriage is an indispensable marriage link.

It seems to be a fashionable game, but in fact, it is a tradition for popular people to learn Christianity by publishing a statement in the newspaper that they are married. Once a couple married in Christ Church must apply for a "banns of marriage", in addition to the names of the newlyweds, three witnesses must sign and testify on the spot.

In the era when the law was not yet perfect, this "marriage declaration" was equivalent to today's marriage certificate, which not only had legal effect, but also prevented the phenomenon of fraudulent and forced marriage. Later, systematic laws replaced religious ceremonies, and marriage declarations became a conventional custom, which could be used to inform relatives and friends near and far, and could be preserved for a long time and be more commemorative.

In fact, not only marriage events, birth, full moon, birthday, further education, graduation... As long as it is an important happy event that you have the opportunity to experience in your life's journey, you can appear in the newspaper and share the joy with your family, friends, and even strangers.

Some netizens posted a newspaper 20 years ago on social media, which published a birthday announcement for her and her brother who turned one year old, and her grandfather appeared in the newspaper on behalf of the whole family to inform relatives and friends of the good news. Later, every birthday of the brother and sister, the family would bring out this birthday notice to relive, although the newspaper had already turned yellow after the baptism of years, it still made people feel warm.

"Publishing a newspaper announcing that you and your beloved are officially married is much more interesting and more sincere than simply clockwork friends." A young man who published a marriage announcement in a newspaper said this when he talked about his feelings.

In the discussion area, some married young people confessed that it was precisely because the husband and wife were bored with the complicated and streamlined wedding ceremony that they chose not to hold a wedding; After getting married, I really wanted to make up for the sense of ceremony brought by the "official announcement", but I was unwilling to post a circle of friends, so I planned to publish a notice on the wedding anniversary and re-"officially announce" it.

An unavoidable phenomenon is that nowadays, many ceremonies such as "official announcements" and weddings have become assembly line walks, and couples often become "emotionless performers" on these occasions, and their true feelings and expressions are obscured.

On the other hand, many online acquaintance social platforms that everyone is using today are no longer the "electronic tree holes" that young people used to favor. When WeChat becomes part of the work, the circle of friends becomes a tool for sending advertisements to accumulate KPIs, and the circle of friends that was originally dedicated to "acquaintance socialization" has become a "vanity fair" that walks on thin ice and is cautious. "Visible in three days", "set grouping" and "delete when you wake up" have become an effective way for many young people trapped in WeChat to escape reality.

In the Internet era, no one can do without the mobile phone in their hands to maintain social interaction. (Photo/Figureworm Creative)

In the face of boring and complicated online social networking, instead of racking your brains in the circle of friends to consider the words, it is better to convert the purest true feelings into lead letters printed in newspapers and publish them publicly, so that more people can witness the happiness in their life journey. The taste, texture and touch of newspaper printing, as well as the happy memories awakened by newspapers, are far thicker than TXT and JPG stored in electronic devices.

Imagine picking up that yellowed wedding newspaper decades later, and those throbbing throbbings about love are timeless. In the words of a newcomer, it is even more straightforward to call romance immortal: "A hundred years later, there are also people who read about our love, and this marriage is more meaningful." ”

In this way, the marriage report has more of a romantic meaning. (Photo/Weibo screenshot)

After all, the true love between partners, the red tape wedding process cannot be copied, and too heavy bride price cannot be bound. It is not so much that this generation of young people knows more about romance, but that they know more about purity and sincerity.
