By a practitioner from New Zealand

(Clearwisdom.net) Before the Chinese New Year, a Falun Gong practitioner from Wellington had a wedding ceremony. Local practitioners participated in the wedding as guests of the bride. They brought not only beautiful wishes to the new couple but also the truth about Falun Dafa to the other guests.

The bridegroom doesn't practice Falun Dafa. His family is from Taishan, Guangdong, and he has a lot of relatives. Some of the bridegroom's friends and schoolmates also came to the wedding, so there were over one hundred guests. In Wellington, it is rare to have that many Chinese people together in one place. In order to bring the beauty of Falun Dafa to every predestined person, practitioners prepared a lot of bookmarks and colorful balloons to promote Falun Dafa. After the wedding, these materials were passed out to the guests.

During the wedding, the bride spoke about her mother, who could not be present at her daughter's wedding because she is being persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party simply because she practices Falun Dafa. Representing her mother, the bride thanked all the guests for coming.

An older practitioner spoke about the beauty of Falun Dafa and shared some short stories of people receiving good fortune after reciting, "Falun Dafa is good" and "Truthfulness Compassion Forbearance."

The groom's grandmother came to New Zealand from Mainland China just a few weeks ago. When she received a lotus flower and learned the truth of Falun Gong, she asked for a few more lotus flowers for her relatives and friends. The wedding took place in peace and happiness.

When the guests were leaving, the Falun Gong practitioners took a photo with the bridegroom's parents. The mother held a practitioner's hands tightly and expressed the family's support for Falun Gong.
