Bridegroom Throws Wedding Bouquet and Leaves in the Middle of the Ceremony Due to Bride’s Attitude.

Groom Throws Bouquet in Anger and Leaves During Wedding Ceremony, Bride Remains Unresponsive.

According to Sohu, the incident took place at a wedding in Guangdong. In the video, the wedding was held at a luxurious hotel, and the groom knelt down holding a bouquet and shouted, “Marry me!” However, the bride did not respond or show any signs of agreement or refusal.

After several attempts, the groom became angry and threw the bouquet in the middle of the ceremony before leaving disappointedly. Everyone at the wedding was surprised, while the bride remained unresponsive and indifferent.

Bride Remains Unresponsive to Groom’s Marriage Proposal.

According to Sohu, the groom had already presented the betrothal gift to the bride’s family. However, just before the wedding day, the bride demanded an additional 200,000 yuan (over 670 million dong), which the groom refused. This made the bride unhappy, and she intentionally made things difficult for the groom.

The video has gone viral on Chinese social media, with many people criticizing the bride’s behavior and calling her “as unfeeling as a wooden log.”

Chinese Men Struggle to Get Married Due to High Bridal Prices.

Bridal prices, which include money, housing, and other goods paid to the bride’s parents, have been a part of traditional marriage customs in most regions of China for centuries. However, these costs have become increasingly high as China faces the largest gender imbalance in its history.

The one-child policy, coupled with a preference for male children, has resulted in a surplus of over 30 million men in the country. The Washington Post reports that the economic growth of China over the past decade has further exacerbated the gender imbalance in rural areas.

In order to marry a bride in Da’anliu, Hubei province, grooms have to spend up to $38,000, which is five times the average annual income of a person in the area. As a result, local authorities have set a maximum price limit of $2,900 to prevent high bridal prices. Exceeding this limit could be considered human trafficking.

While this may benefit families with sons, it is not good for those with daughters. Liang, a pear farmer in Da’anliu, has a daughter who is approaching marriageable age. “I will demand whatever price I want. It’s not fair,” he expressed.

Liang said that the issue is not just about money. He plans to give his daughter all the bridal price money during her wedding. He believes that it’s a market, and he has the right to set a price for his pears, so why not for his daughter?

Wang Feng, a sociologist who studies Chinese demographics at the University of California, said that families face a lot of pressure in trying to find good marriages for their sons.

She believes that “stabilizing prices” is a way to treat the symptoms, not a solution to the root of the problem.
