At the Capital's Civil Affairs Bureau, it was supposed to be closed on this Saturday, but a few staff members still came to work for less than half an hour.
The person in charge of processing was a woman nearly fifty years old. She picked up the metal stamp, placed it on the certificate page, then pressed down firmly with both hands.
After confirming that the seals on both certificates were perfectly positioned and colored, she carefully put them together and handed them out through the window:
"Congratulations to the newlyweds, may you enjoy a harmonious union for a hundred years."
Lin Ju took it and first saw the photo of himself and Yu Man, where he looked unnaturally white as if airbrushed by a beauty filter. If it had been any other day, he would have insisted on a retake.
"Look, the stamp avoided the faces, the sister did it on purpose."
Yu Man whispered to Lin Ju, excited as if she had discovered something wonderful.
