A wedding with a difference has taken place at a kindergarten in China after a group of young students helped make the marriage of two of their teachers extra special.

In the run up to the big day, the children helped the happy couple organise the wedding procession, lined up for high-fives and even carried a miniature bridal sedan chair.

The newlyweds, from Zhejiang province in the east of the country, both work at the kindergarten and decided to transform the school into their wedding hall, with their students taking an active role in the process, China News reported.

As for the bride, who was not identified, several youngsters carried a model of a bridal sedan chair to show that they had “picked up” the bride to escort her to her future husband.
