'Love ceremony' held in world's last matriarchal cultural style

The couples put on Mosuo people's traditional clothing, walked on a "walking marriage" bridge and tried the traditional "jiacu" dance, which brought the outsiders a slice of life in a matriarchal village. In traditional Mosuo culture, "walking marriages" are a statement of a couple's love for one another, but with no pressure of a long-term commitment that should go on forever. [Photo: dfic]
