Caption Competition
Winning entries in the Caption Competition.
The competition is now closed.
This week it's Kong Qingyang and Shen Likun, who got married this week, using a forklift truck as a wedding car. The reason behind it is that Kong, a former forklift driver, met Shen while buying a forklift from her. And they say that romance is dead.
Thanks to all who entered. The prize of a small amount of kudos to the following:
6. SkarloeyLine
To have and to load, to lever and to cherish...
5. Cairngorm McWomble
Shen was apprehensive about the first dance. Kong's favourite song was Westlife's You Raise Me Up and Shen already had a fear of heights.

Phew! I thought I was going to end up left on the shelf.

I said to hire a wedding car, not higher one.
