If you think your life sucks, think again: A groom-to-be has put his entire wedding dinner package at Marina Mandarin, scheduled to take place on Oct. 13, 2017, on Carousell for resale.

This was after his bride-to-be ran away with someone else with less than two months to the big day.

The ad is even called "Run Lion", which in Chinese is "zou shi" -- translated to dialect is "zao sai".

That means "elope" -- assuming the bride-to-be ran away to marry someone else.

S$28,888 for 30 tables, negotiable

The sad story of what transpired was put up on Aug. 17, 2017, to accompany the Carousell ad.

From the looks of it, it looks genuine.

With 30 tables on offer and with deposit paid, the asking resale price of S$28,888 before GST for the whole package is rather reasonable, as wedding dinners at hotels can go upwards of S$2,000 for a table of 10 pax.

Referrals welcomed

Alternatively, Carousell users have been urged to introduce another potential bride-to-be for the groom to fall in love with, so they can get this wedding night over and done with without forfeiting anything.

If not, there is also a referral commission offered for those of you enterprising enough to not just stand at the side and gawk, but help resell this.

For the full details, read the ad's listing here.

Dearest Shotgun/YoLo/Urgent/Budget Couples,

On behalf of the groom almost-to-be, (I cannot mention his name due to a gag order by the supreme council and bounded by a non disclosure agreement), I am letting go a wedding dinner package at Marina Mandarin on the 13th oct 2017.

Groom's situation:

This is a classic case of running lion towards the west or i'll put nicely, "A journey to the west"

He has paid the ultimate price for conforming to our government's policy: "Marry young, fuck now, give birth to more babies, help fight the aging population."

I urge all fellow Shotgun/YoLo/Urgent/Budget Couples... THIS IS A GOOD STEAL!

ALTERNATE SOLUTION:

Can someone introduce a girl to the groom asap so that they can fall in love before 13th oct 2017 and get married on 13th oct 2017?

P.S.

"I what also don't have, money I alot, not super super super rich, but rich enough to buy her hermes bao bao just to see her smile... But now... it's ok. If i cannot be happy, I will want others to be happy... I can even drive the car on their wedding day 13/08/17..." - A 28-yr-old-groom-almost-to-be

Kindly help to share. (referral commission can nego)
