A wealthy groom's family has shocked Chinese netizens by hauling multiple baskets filled with banknotes to the bride's home in Yiwu, Zhejiang Province, in China on Monday.<br /><br />In the Chinese culture, the dowry is delivered up to a month, or at least three days, before the wedding. The groom and a friend, or a matchmaker, will deliver the gifts on the auspicious date chosen. <br /><br />The lavish engagement present reportedly weighed 102 kilograms in total. In addition to money, the bridegroom also sent her family wine and some daily necessities.<br /><br />However, local traditions demand that the woman's family will also have to give the groom a dowry, and might need to return part or all of the money given to them once the actual wedding day arrives.<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
