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.
