A Japanese couple has tied the knot in a traditional aboriginal wedding ceremony in southern Taiwan, becoming the first foreign couple to do so since this particular ceremony began 14 years ago.
Toshiaki Yoshida, 36, and Natsumi Ueno, 35, wed in an aboriginal village in Sandimen Township, Pingtung County, on Saturday.
Chien Ching-fa, director of the Maolin National Scenic Area Administration, said of the outdoor ceremony that his agency has been co-organizing the annual event since 2005 to preserve aboriginal culture and promote tourism to the area.
