China couple make wedding memorable by hosting wrestling match, with loser facing housework

Newlyweds opt to put on professional grappling showdown instead of traditional nuptials; guests lap it up

A couple in southwestern China turned their wedding into a professional wrestling showdown, with the loser agreeing to do the housework for life.

Unlike conventional competitive sports, professional wrestling is a choreographed combat performance.

The groom, He Yinsheng, a professional wrestler from Zunyi in Guizhou province, staged the unusual celebration with his wife at a local hotel in early May.

In place of a traditional wedding stage, the couple installed a wrestling ring, with a giant screen displaying a dramatic “Groom vs Bride” poster.

The newlyweds then led their respective teams into a best-of-three contest, governed by one lighthearted rule: the losing side would be consigned to household chores.
