Ukrainian bride declines 'bride price' in wedding with Chinese man

A salesman from a rural Chinese town received a surprise when he decided to wed his Ukrainian girlfriend of one year.

Mr He Pengwei from Shanxi was shocked to learn that his bride, Ms Inesa, did not want a "bride price", reported the South China Morning Post on Wednesday (March 14).

In an interview with local news portal China.com, Mr He's father He Jianguo had said: "The girl's family didn't ask for a bride price, and didn't demand that we buy a flat or a car."

He added that his son had a simple wedding that only took a week to prepare.

"Our relatives said they had never seen any groom taking it so easy before the wedding," he said.

The couple, who tied the knot last Thursday (March 8), earned the adoration of many residents from Mr He's hometown and social media users too.
