The story of a wedding banquet in China which was organised for a woman without her knowledge by her boyfriend’s family has gone viral on mainland social media.
The unnamed woman, from Guangdong province in southern China, shared a post on social media that her boyfriend’s father had prepared a wedding banquet for the couple on October 1, China’s National Day.
Her boyfriend’s father paid a deposit of more than 100,000 yuan (US$14,000) and said he would hold the party even if the couple did not show up, Feidian Video reported.
“You must come back home for the wedding party. Don’t tell me that you are not prepared,” the father said in a voice message to his son.
