Most women would be content with a bouquet of flowers on Valentine's Day.

But one man in China requested 9,999 red roses before asking for his girlfriend's hand in marriage.

And realising his partner's penchant for fashion, Xiao Fan had each blossom carefully stitched together to form a sweeping, floral bridal gown.
Dressmakers worked around the clock to prepare the garment, and Yin Mi patiently waited as it was adjusted on the day.

She topped the creation with an ivory-white fur shrug and clutched a vibrant stem of yellow orchids.
The couple caught the eye of onlookers as they took to the grounds of Chime-Long Paradise amusement park in the southern province of Guangdong.

It is where Mr Fan first met Yin Mi three years ago when she was crowned Miss Bikini 2009.

And judging by the dazzling engagement ring on her finger, Ms Mi accepted the proposal.
But there was a reason for Mr Fan's order of 9,999 roses.

The number nine represents 'forever' in Chinese culture and in Beijing's Forbidden City - the most well-preserved imperial palace in China - the emperor is said to have requested 9,999 rooms to be built.

According to legend the number 10,000 was reserved for gods, therefore the emperor believed the number 9,999 would take him closer to heaven and bring him good luck.

Meanwhile the orchid is known to symbolise love, beauty, refinement, fertility, virtue and maturity.

It may be romantic, but he could have used the money spent on the roses to make a fat downpayment on a luxury flat.
