> A peculiar scene unfolded involving a fleet of nine sewage trucks decorated with flowers led by a Mercedes-Benz sedan in Anhui, China, Sin Chew Daily reported.
At the helm of the entourage was Pan Haonan, a man working in the sewage industry who went to pick up his bride for their wedding.
After getting engaged, Pan proposed using a fleet of sewage trucks as their wedding convoy, and his bride-to-be happily agreed.
Pan, who studied film and television, joined his father’s sewage business after graduation.
Driving a sewage truck as part of his job, he said has never been ashamed of his profession.
“Even though our job is the dirtiest and the smelliest, the money we earn is clean,” Pan said.
