Groom vs Bride: Couples struggle at a wedding to decide who will do the housework; loser says: 'Of course I had to lose'

A couple in China handled the housework at their wedding in a unique way. They did it inside a wrestling ring. The groom, He Yinsheng, is a professional wrestler from Zunya. It is based in Guizhou Province. He organized an unusual celebration with his wife at the beginning of May. The venue was a local hotel.

The couple replaced the traditional wedding scene and wrestling ring. The giant screen was showing the dramatic “Groom vs Bride” poster. The newlyweds led their teams into a best-of-three competition, the South China Morning Post reported.

The game was governed by one light rule. The losing side would do all the homework.

The performers entered the ring first. They did body strikes, takedowns and close quarters. The guests watched in complete fascination. Some children stood with bowls in their hands. They were too busy eating.

The bride and groom then entered the ring themselves. The bride quickly gained control. She avoided her husband’s attacks.

Then she threw him away with her shoulder. The referee declared her the winner. She was declared “free from housework for life”.

The sequence was choreographed in advance. Nevertheless, the guests remained enthralled. He told the Xiaoxiang Morning Post that all the performers were professionally trained. Safety has always been a top priority.

“Of course I had to lose,” he said. “I couldn’t let her do the housework.

The idea came during wedding planning. The budget exceeded expectations. He chose wrestling instead of hiring singers and dancers. His wife immediately agreed. Both sets of parents said they didn’t understand. But they respected the choice.

Almost 300 guests attended. This was much more than the couple expected. The wedding went viral on Chinese social media.

“Our wedding had food and a show, so people were happy to attend. In the end, nearly 300 guests came, much more than we expected,” SCMP quoted He as telling mainland media.

He said he also hoped to introduce more people to wrestling. Professional wrestling remains a small subculture in China. Mostly limited to bars, beer festivals and corporate events.
