A groom proudly revealed to his bride that all of the wedding decoration, including wedding favors, were bought from an online secondhand store, already used, according to Chinese news outlet Zhejiang Online. After the wife vented her anger online, responses came both chastising and praising the groom.

The two live in the Chinese city of Jinhua in Zhejiang Province. The woman, who is only identified by her user name “Sound Waves Bouncing Becomes Confusing,” shared her angry comments on June 13 through Zhejiang Online, a forum specifically for their home city.
