(June 2, 2010) Pictures from a lavish wedding in Shanxi province in the northern part of the People's Republic of China have been circulating thanks to publication on autoclub.mop.com, a Chinese web site. One of the poorer provinces in the country, it has great coal reserves and this wedding was financed by coal money.    

What interests us is the unbelievable array of vehicles used in the ceremony — perhaps unprecedented in the world. Vehicles included but were not limited to six Jeeps, four Ferraris, four Rolls Royce Phantoms, six Mercedes, six Bentleys, 20 Audi A8s, one Hummer, several Lamborghinis and several Porsche Cayennes.
