One article: "My father-in-law returned the 188,000 yuan gift at the wedding.
It went viral on the Internet and attracted the attention of netizens.
On the evening of February 24, the reporter first contacted and interviewed the bride, Ms. Liao. She confirmed that the incident was true and clarified that the wedding actually took place in Yiyang, Hunan, and was not Anhui as reported online.
The bride, Ms. Liao, and the groom, Mr. Li, are both from Yiyang. They met through a friend's introduction, and then fell in love and got married hand in hand. Ms. Liao said frankly that from the time they fell in love to the engagement, the two people and their families had always reached a consensus: they did not focus on the amount of the bride price, but more on the relationship and each other's future. As early as the engagement stage, she had clearly informed her father that she would not accept a bride price from the man. On the wedding day on February 22, her father returned the 188,000 yuan gift to the groom in full, leaving only 100 yuan as a symbol of good luck. This scene surprised and deeply moved Ms. Liao.
She revealed that her father was very supportive of her idea, and her simple speech on the spot moved everyone even more: "Young people, don't let money blind you from the happiness of your marriage." It is understood that this popular video was not deliberately shot, but was casually recorded by relatives and friends at the scene. Unexpectedly, it would attract widespread attention, and the couple and their families were very surprised.
Ms. Liao revealed that she and her family had stated that they did not want betrothal gifts when they got engaged, but her husband took the initiative to prepare the money. Since her parents-in-law were old and had limited income, part of the money was saved by him through hard work, and the other part was borrowed from relatives and friends. The 188,000 yuan returned on the wedding day was used by the husband to repay the loan. After deducting the wedding banquet and other expenses, there is not much left.
The groom, Mr. Li, responded that "his father-in-law returned the bride price" and said that he did not expect it at all. Moreover, after his father-in-law returned the bride price that day, he gave him another dowry when he returned home.
