Couple turns big day into big call for air protection (1/8)

A Chinese couple with gas masks poses for wedding photos in Hangzhou, East China’s Zhejiang province, Feb. 26, 2015. The groom, a radio host in Hangzhou and also an environmental activist, added gas masks to their wedding outfits in order to raise awareness of air quality. He chose Thursday, the 8th day in the first lunar month, to take the shots because many companies set off fireworks to mark the resuming of business after the Spring Festival holiday.
