Fox News
Chinese communist party officials are concerned about the high costs associated with getting married. Authorities are worried that any drop in the wedding rate will further damage the country's falling birth rates.
"I always thought that excessive bride prices were stories that only existed on the internet until it happened to my own family" read the opening line in what was one of the most popular articles on the site. The writer’s cousin fell in love with a woman from Jiangxi province.
The article went viral and received some 22 million hits, with many of the comments congratulating the groom and his family from avoiding terrible in-laws.
