Question

Embracing a 'naked marriage'
Zhang Yi a 28-year-old editor at the fashion magazine Sunshine imagined her boyfriend's proposal like this: In a nice restaurant he gets down on his knees flourishes a diamond ring and asks: "Will you marry me?" 
She would then scream and with tears of joy in her eyes throw herse lf into his arms.
But the reality was tota lly different. Her boyfriend simply said: "My mother has asked us to register for the marriage certificate as soon as possible."
Zhang agreed – and that was it.
"I understand my husband has little money. Besides I love things to be simple. So I agreed " Zhang says.
The couple took a day off and registered their marriage. Instead of a banquet their wedding ceremony was a 100-yuan ($15) dinner at a small restaurant where they first met.
Wang Zhiguo chief marriage consultant at China's largest matchmaking website baihe.com believes “naked marriages” benefit society. "It teaches young people the core spirit of marriage - love each other deeply no matter rich or poor " Wang says adding that some newlyweds save marriage costs for other expenses like their children's education traveling or charity.
Wang thinks however that naked marriages may affect a relationship's stability.  
"If we see a marriage as a contract it includes three items: love responsibility and a material base. Any missing link will lead to some problems in the relationship between husband and wife."
Wang suggests that if a couple's financial situation does not permit them to build a solid material base an exchange of tokens(象征) is necessary for a long-lasting relationship.
