$20k wedding called off after bride and groom fight

My Paper Monday, Dec 01, 2014

UNHAPPY OCCASION: Mr Liu (in white) was said to have entertained guests during his wedding dinner at a five-star hotel on Sentosa on Saturday - minus the bride.

It was supposed to be a happy occasion at a wedding banquet in a five-star Sentosa hotel on Saturday night. But things turned sour and only the groom was present - there was no bride.

The groom, who called the wedding off the day before, was said to have entertained guests and was not seated at the main table with family members, but with guests, reported Shin Min Daily News yesterday.

There were also three to four empty tables, believed to be reserved for the bride's guests.

There were 12 tables in all and the groom, who wanted to be known only as Mr Liu, said about $20,000 had been spent.

The 26-year-old told Shin Min that a week before the banquet, he and his fiancee, also 26, got into an argument.

"She slapped me seven times. My shoulder and chest were also bruised by her," he said, adding that the incident upset him and his parents.

His fiancee is pregnant with his child. She told Shin Min that she is four to five months pregnant.

Mr Liu said he met her when he was in a polytechnic and claimed he waited for three years before he was able to win her heart.

After the recent argument, Mr Liu thought things through and made the painful decision to call off the wedding a day before.

"I think the problems between two people need to be worked out first before marriage. So I informed my fiancee about it. But since the wedding banquet had already been arranged, we decided to carry on with it and apologise to the guests," he said, adding that he treated it like a family gathering.

"I've donated the money from the banquet guests' red packets to charity."

Mr Liu said he had bowed in apology to guests on Saturday and read out an apology letter to seek their understanding.

His fiancee said that she had hit Mr Liu only once, and had her reasons for doing so.

"Before the wedding, he (Mr Liu) said again that our marriage would break apart because of our quarrelling. It made me very angry, so I slapped him. My nails had scratched him, but I didn't hit him seven times," she said.

She added that her future in-laws were also difficult. This posed problems for her matrimonial matters and upset her.

"I'm also pregnant so my emotions are not stable. And because of many problems that cropped up, I was very unhappy. I haven't been able to rest well for two weeks."

The fiancee also said she could not imagine that the wedding would still take place.

"He (Mr Liu) only wants my child and doesn't think about marrying me any more. Even if he wanted to, it's one-sided. His parents would not approve," she said, adding that even if she were able to mend things with the groom, the episode would leave a scar on her.

But Mr Liu claimed that he would not give up loving his fiancee even though the wedding has been called off.

"I hope to take her for counselling so that she can better control her emotions and not be so violent. I'm willing to wait for her and have our wedding ceremony," he said.

rather unfortunate thing for everyone involved.

 

I got one ex colleague also almost the same thing but slightly better in that I think the wedding was called off few weeks before the scheduled date.

 

they give the excuse that groom's grandma passed away so cannot hold the ceremony according to Chinese customary practices.but even after one year, I never did receive the invitation and can surmise the wedding was called off.

at least not so embarrass compared to this couple, one day before the wedding dinner

 

but good for the hotel that still get the sales and food was not wasted.

Its a bed of roses alright... with thorns.. and it will take your lifetime to trim away the thorns.

yep....I do think my friend and her ex at least 给他们自己有脸下台

 

unlike this case in the news. I think he don't want to waste the money, but don't mind the embarrassing and weird sight.

He says he will wait for her recovery.

If her recovery takes a long time then how?

How does he define recovery?

[Darryn]

Bride (allegedly) scared of inlaws....

Groom (allegedly) lets parents bully bride ....

Inlaws are (allegedly) demanding and interfering

Pregnant before wedding

Slap once vs slap 7 times - who lie?

8 tables for groom, 4 for bride - how come arrrr????

 

Seems like a bunch of soft strawberries all around

 

Sounds like a HK Serial......

 

Should add....

 

I ever go to a wedding where they got an annulment after two days...bride went to parents some time prior to wedding and said "dun want" - they said fine, if dun want you must pay us back for wedding...so go ahead and divorce 2 day later....

not unfathomable ma . maybe the bride is foreigner so less relatives to invite. 8 tables for groom also sounds normal.....

 

if really cannot work, annulment after 2 days is still a good option

Could be could be - you know I was trying to insinuate something about "tradition" though right? Also with the "interfering inlaws" and all.....such things are a recipe for disaster to me..

 

Same for annulment - yep it was the best option - stupid thing was to go through with the wedding in the first place - young (and immature) couple bullied by parents

oh haha you kiwi still know the Chinese tradition of "gifting" tables to the bride's side.....

 

but frankly I don't like this tradition either, it is almost like "selling off" daughter vis a vis marriage. this tradition probably got its roots from the predominantly Chinese farmers' culture where the daughter was married to work in the groom's family's padi fields.

 

what relevance has it got now in modern Singapore where the bride still keeps in close contact with her own family and never have to contribute anything (except grandchildren) to the groom family?

Agree!! Many people including the older generation are following tradition blindly... These are really irritating & out-of-date traditions!! Wedding Banquet included. At the end of the day, it's the hotels are the only ones laughing their way to the banks....

 

IMO, should only retain things like tea ceremony, the rest can be simplified...

Tai tai shi sinaporelang / zhong gou ren...how not to know...

 

Different cultures have different ideas - some say must "buy" the bride from her family, others say must "pay to groom for take bride"...

 

I think it's all rubbish...marriage is between bride and groom, everyone else should butt out.
