Chinese couples got married on Saturday at the new train terminal in Kenya capital, Nairobi. The Standard Gauge Railway is being constructed by China Roads and Bridges Corporation (CRBC).

Chinese news agency Xinhua says work momentarily came to a halt as staff gathered to witness the wedding.


One of the grooms, Li Bosheng, told Xinhua that he met his wife on a train journey in China and that they intend to move back once the railway is being, as he works for CRBC in public relations.

The train line between Nairobi and the coastal city of Mombasa is expected to open at the end of the month.
