A young groom from China’s Hubei
province was so disappointed after seeing his bride for the first time
that he actually tried to kill himself during their wedding.
The 33-year-old Kang Hu was set to marry
30-year-old Na Sung, a woman chosen by his parent who he had never even
seen before when things went awry. After laying eyes on her for the
first time at the ceremony, Kang found she did not meet his high
standards. He stunned everyone by telling Na Sung that he found her
‘ugly’ and that she would be ‘bad for his image’. Hu walked out on the
ceremony and jumped into a nearby river.
“It was a very awkward moment for
everyone,” said Chan Wang, a guest at the wedding. “The bride was
devastated, her family was furious, his family was furious, and we his
friends were embarrassed. Kang has very exact tastes and had been forced
into this marriage,” he added.
Both families, according to mirror.co.uk,
spent several hours searching for the groom, before spotting him
wandering along a nearby river bank. Before they could approach him for
an explanation and an apology to the bride, he threw himself into the
water.
After regaining consciousness, Kang
eventually explained his behaviour: “I feel bad about what happened but
when I saw her she wasn’t what I had expected and I realised she would
be bad for my image. My parents had arranged this and I couldn’t see any
way out apart from suicide.”
