Gate crash is a Chinese wedding tradition where the groom would play a series of games usually planned by the bride and her bridesmaids to test his determination to get his wife.

A groom who successfully wins over the bridesmaids will then be allowed to enter a room where his beautiful bride is waiting in her wedding gown.

Now imagine entering the room to see an Ultraman instead.

At least, that was the case for a groom in Henan province of China whose wedding story has since gone viral on Chinese social media.

"Never thought I would marry Ultraman"

In a video uploaded on Xiaohongshu, the groom could be seen bursting into laughter the moment he saw his significant other donned an Ultraman outfit on their big day.

"Never thought I would marry Ultraman," the man wrote in the video's caption.

As the groom and groomsmen entered the room, the bride stood up and showed off some moves in her Ultraman suit.

While the groom is a devoted fan of the superhero franchise, the bride has never shown interest in Ultraman, Jiupai News reported.

The couple has known each other for nine years before getting married.

The groom added:

"The two of us got married on 520.

She knew that I liked Ultraman.

I never expect she would take off her wedding dress and turned into Ultraman for me. I was very moved.

Grateful to meet you, Miss Fan."

Online reactions

Online responses have been largely positive.

While some expressed their envy, many were touched and wished the couple a happy marriage.

One user commented:

"A woman who is willing to be funny in front of the world just to win the smile of the person she loves. Such a great and pure love, not every woman is willing to sacrifice for love. Cherish this wife who loves you, and wish love will always be present between the two of you forever."

Another user wrote:

"I'm a female but I'm so envious. So envious of the groom for having a wife who love him so much and the bride for having the confidence and courage to do something like that. I also want to get married and wear a Kamen Rider outfit."

Many users also took the chance to tag their significant others, considering doing something different for their future wedding too.
