They say that love can make otherwise perfectly normal people do all sorts of crazy things, and by the looks of it, whoever came up with this saying first sure knew what they were talking about. Look no further than this piece of news if you need proof.

In a nutshell, it was just a few days ago that a woman in China married a guy to break up with him. No, she did not marry him only to break up with him after the ceremony and crush his little heart. The wedding was the woman's way of saying goodbye.

A modern Romeo and Juliet

The woman, identified as Doudou, met her boo, a businessman 11 years her senior, quite a while ago. The two locked eyes while enjoying a meal at a restaurant in the city of Wenzhou in China's Zhejiang Province, and immediately hit it off, Oddity Central reports.

The thing is that, soon enough, the man's family pretty much ruined their romance. Mind you, the family that got between the lovebirds wasn't his parents, but his wife and kids. That's right, it appears that, when he started wooing Doudou, the businessman was already married.

The two continued to see each other for a while, but eventually, the businessman's wife forced him to break up with Doudou. The man obliged, and when meeting with the young woman one day, told her that he could no longer see her.

Marrying the man you're breaking up with

Naturally, Doudou was devastated when her better half told her that they had to break up because of his wife. However, rather than throwing plates at his head, she decided to organize a fake wedding and have the man mock-marry her.

The woman explains that, by marrying the businessman in a pretend ceremony, she found it in her heart to say goodbye to him and get back to her life. “I wanted to have something like an event that would really mark a turning point,” she says.

“That was when I came up with the idea of a kind of symbolic wedding ceremony for the symbolic life that we could have had together,” the woman further explains her decision to marry the man she had to break up with in a fake ceremony.

Photos of the fake wedding are included in the gallery below. As easily noticeable, Doudou put on a white dress for the ceremony. Her boo, on the other hand, wore a tux. During the ceremony, the two confessed their love for each other and even exchanged rings. Still, they also said goodbye to each other.

The ceremony was held at a hotel. The couple did not invite any guests, and only allowed the media to take photos of them after being promised that their names would not be revealed and that their faces would not be shown to the public. Following the wedding, the couple spent the night together and then each returned to their own home.
