Details of the saga were made public when the wedding party host detailed how the gift had outraged the bride and her family in a video on social media.
A newlywed woman in China has walked out on her husband and demanded a divorce – all because of a row over lingerie.
The furious bride pulled the pin on their wedding celebration at the eleventh hour and declared she was filing for divorce after being insulted by her husband’s wedding gift of a bra … that was two sizes too small.
The couple had already been legally married but were planning a belated wedding celebration with family and friends.
The marriage meltdown came after the groom, identified by his surname, Yang, presented his wife with a traditional wedding gift of an outfit and lingerie on the eve of the celebratory party in Guizhou province, southwest China.
However, the bride, identified by her surname, Luo, told online news portal The Paper that her husband’s gift was a sign of disrespect because he knew her size and had bought the offending item regardless. It made her feel that he did not care about her at all, she said.
“I called him that night and said the bra was too small, and he said, ‘Do you not want to marry? If so, give my money back’,” Luo said.
Details of the family saga were made public last week when the wedding party host detailed how the gift had outraged the bride and her family in a video on social media. The video has since gone viral, mostly with comments of support for the bride.
Luo’s family wholeheartedly supported their daughter, refusing to attend the celebration the following day, according to the host.
Instead, the party went ahead but only for the groom’s family and friends, and minus the bride.
Yang told The Paper the bride’s family was to blame as they had given his family the wrong bra size.
“My parents had asked for the bride’s size, but they only gave us a response at midnight that the lingerie was too small. It was already late and we had nowhere to buy new lingerie,” he said. u While the offensive lingerie may now be the centrepiece of divorce litigation, Luo revealed that there were other issues at play, with both families having clashed over a number of issues since wedding discussions began.
Yang – who said he had known Luo for more than three years – said he wanted to solve the issues but could not reach an agreement with Luo’s family after negotiations.
Previously, Yang had given Luo a wedding gift of 88,000 yuan (S$18,012)[USD$13,600] and had covered the cost of the wedding celebrations, including the venue, drinks and cigarettes.
On the day of the celebration, Luo discovered everybody was discussing the upset. As reported in The Paper , she felt hurt by her husband’s comments that she was “not sensible” and that he was making it all about the bra.
Internet users overwhelmingly supported Luo, saying she should find someone who better appreciates her.
“The man can’t stop talking about the gift money, that makes the other side uncomfortable,” one Weibo user wrote.
“She only exploded over the small lingerie , but their conflicts have been accumulating over a long time. It’s her decision to divorce and I respect that,” another said.
Luo told media outlet Red Star News that she had given the gift money back to Yang and decided to apply for a divorce.
“I’m happy with the way things worked out,” she said.
More dudes to choose from. A chick from China has the luxury to be picky as Hades.
He broke a cardinal rule. Husbands must never buy underwear for their wives. Never.
I wonder how he didn’t know that.
Did the family ever give back the money?
The bra is literally Hitler and anyone associated with this bra should be blocked on Twitter and Facebook and also lose their job.
And yet, less and less are getting married.
You have a good understanding of modern thought.
The “pretty ones” get plucked before their menstrual cycle to become a sexual wards to the State (Although highly educated if they show intelligence). Just a sad situation throughout that planned economic/social State.
Guy dodged a big bullet.
He probably wont learn and will try to get married again.
Yep....thankfully he got the wrong bra....a lot cheaper emotionally and financially than marrying this lunatic...
Now, THAT is ‘light-hearted’.
I guess the upcoming Chinese are as stupid as many of us are, and we shouldn’t worry too much about them.
Poor Yang. You’d think he could estimate size somewhat from a handful...
My husband agrees absolutely.
He sounds like the kind of guy who would answer the question “do these jeans make me look fat?” Note to young guys. Under no circumstances answer that question. There’s no correct answer. You’re in for it just by her asking it. If you ever get the question run for your life, stab, or set yourself on fire.
This guy has no idea how lucky he is to dodge that bullet. She's a loon.
A bride with the surname of Luo
Got a bra that’s too sizes too few
“Oh, woman, just dang,”
Said her husband named Yang
“I’m better off without that shrew”
*two sizes
NICE.
“Then shall our names, familiar in his mouth as household words...be in their flowing cups freshly remember’d.”
One should always keep abreast of Chinese news.
