Once upon a time, a man named Kang Hu was about to walk down the aisle during his arranged wedding ceremony in China when he met his bride-to-be for the first time.

Hu then told her she was “too ugly“ and called off the marriage. You read that right.

“It was a very awkward moment for everyone,“ one of Hu’s pals told The Mirror. “The bride was devastated, her family was furious, his family was furious, and we his friends were embarrassed.”

He did what everyone in China having relationship problems does, go for a swim.

Hours later, Hu was found facedown and unconscious in a nearby river. After medics revived him, he said, “I feel bad about what happened, but when I saw her, she wasn’t what I had expected and I realized she would be bad for my image. My parents had arranged this, and I couldn’t see any way out apart from suicide.“
