Sino-Ukrainian marriages are not uncommon - grooms from China often choose brides originally from the former USSR. One of these suitors was a sales agent, He Pengwei, from Shanxi Province.
The bride managed to surprise not only the man, but also his family - Ukrainian Inessa, who has worked as a translator in China for four years, entered into marriage in the hometown of the bridegroom He. Relatives were shocked that relatives of the bride ... did not demand an expensive ransom for her, writes Lenta.ru.
“We had been preparing for our son's wedding for only a week, the ceremony was simple. The family said they had never seen the groom who got off so lightly, ”Pengwei's father admitted.
Relatives were surprised, because Inessa’s family didn’t ask for either an apartment, or impressive sums of money, or an expensive car. Local customs all imply. However, the value of the woman he loved in the eyes of her husband did not diminish. The husband and wife are planning to open a business in China, and in a couple of years to repeat the wedding in Ukraine.
The tradition of bride price when the groom's family pays for his right to marry is common in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Oceania. On the territory of European countries, as well as in Russia and Ukraine, families traditionally waited for the opposite - that the bride would have a rich dowry, which she would bring to the groom's house.
