While the internet is filled with wild wedding tales, few are as extraordinary as the one that took place in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, China, in March 2021.
The wedding festivities were in full swing when the groom’s mother noticed something familiar that changed her life drastically.
The bride had a birthmark that seemed eerily familiar to the mother.
Two decades ago, the mother lost her daughter, and reports from various Chinese media outlets indicated that her missing child had a birthmark identical to the bride’s.
Curious and anxious, the mother-in-law asked the bride’s parents if the bride was adopted, which took them by surprise as the adoption had been kept a secret.
They confirmed that they had found a baby girl abandoned by the roadside years ago and raised her as their own, prompting the groom’s mother to break down in tears.
The bride, overwhelmed with emotion, also cried, reportedly saying the moment of finding her birth mother was ‘happier than the wedding day itself’.
Now faced with the dilemma of the bride marrying her older brother, they proceeded with the wedding.
Adding another twist, it turned out the groom was adopted by the mother.
She had spent years searching for her missing daughter, eventually losing hope of ever finding her.
Since the couple was not biologically related, the wedding continued without objections, despite initial concerns from the bride.
This incredible wedding story has resurfaced online, becoming a hot topic on Reddit.
Social media users flooded the comments section with their views on the incident.
“The son and daughter are not biologically related so it’s all good, folks,” one person commented.
Another remarked: “So not just a daughter in law but also daughter. Crazy,” while someone else shared: “I’m adopted from China, I have no clue who gave birth to me. I’ve always had a mild fear of dating a Chinese man because of the very slight chance he could be my blood relative.”
