‘Surprise, surprise’: Chinese man hides wedding ring inside future wife’s Kindle device for 7 years until their big day
- A man in China hid a wedding ring inside his girlfriend’s Kindle device as a surprise, waiting 7 years before revealing it to her on their big day
- His wedding planner suggested he wait until his wedding day to reveal it as a way to show his love
A young man’s decision to hide a wedding ring inside a Kindle device belonging to his future wife for seven years has gone viral in mainland China.
The man, surnamed Liu, a self-proclaimed science geek from Sichuan Province, southwestern China, had hidden the wedding ring underneath the protective case of a new Kindle device he gave to his then-girlfriend as a gift seven years ago. She didn’t notice it until Liu revealed it on their wedding day on May 22.
Liu told the wedding ring story to his wedding planner who suggested he wait until the big day to reveal it as a way to show his love.
“My husband had planned to keep the secret for 10 or 20 years, and he didn’t expect it to come out so fast,” Liu’s wife said on Weibo.
On the wedding day, the wife saw Liu holding the Kindle device from which he then removed the protective cover and revealed the ring on the back.
A viral photo showed the ring stuck with clear tape next to the battery, and another photo showed a note from Liu: “She used the Kindle a lot to read, so the ring was very close to her ring finger.”
“He said that he bought the ring within a month of us starting our relationship seven years ago because he wanted to be with me. And he asked me if I would like to marry him again if I had another chance?,” said his wife.
