A groom in central province of Quảng Nam was stunned by what happened on his wedding night, which should have been one of the best days of his life.

Last Monday, the man, only known by his surname of Trần, went to a karaoke bar with his newly-wed wife and friends to have some fun after the ceremony. Trần had to leave for a short time to handle some family business, only to later find out that his wife had gone missing with some jewellery and more than 26 grams of gold. She also took VNĐ1 million (US$44) and some “wedding packets” filled with money for the couple from the wedding guests.

It did not stop there. A few days later, Trần started to get calls from Đà Nẵng City asking him to pay for the debts of the run-away bride, which reached nearly VNĐ10 million ($444).

Tran is yet to report the incident to the police, as he wanted to give his wife a chance to repent and come back to clear up the mess.

What a gentleman!
