Most men get a little nervous at the prospect of popping the question.

But while most men are confident that their question and a ring will secure a yes, one man decided to prove to his girlfriend just how serious he was – by wearing a wedding dress.

Besotted Liu, 23, thought his girlfriend Liang Sun wouldn’t take him seriously if he simply popped the question at their university in Chongqing city, southern China.
So he climbed into a wedding dress and hired florists to decorate her student digs with a heart-shaped display of blooms under a banner saying: ‘Bride – I love you.’

‘I wore it because I wanted to tell her that one day I want to see her in this dress beside me,’ explained Liu.

And it would appear his hard work paid off – Liang immediately agreed to the unusual proposal.

The process of engagement and marriage in China is steeped in traditions.

There are three parts of a Chinese marriage – the legal part, the ceremony, and the party.

A Chinese marriage that does not observe proper Chinese customs is invalid in the eyes of most Chinese society.
