Role reversal: Would-be groom Liu Wang wears a wedding dress to pop the question (Picture: CEN)

A romantic student gave his would-be bride a dress rehearsal of their big day, by wearing a white gown to propose.

Prospective groom Liu Wang decided on making the extravagant gesture before popping the question at their university in Chongqing city, southern China.

The 23-year-old looked radiant in the figure-hugging frock as he got down on one knee to ask for her hand in marriage.

Bizarrely the dress was picked out by the would-be groom for his partner to wear on their big day.


‘I wore it because I wanted to tell her that one day I want to see her in this dress beside me,’ he explained.



‘I know it’s not for her to wear right now but now she knows I would do anything for her.’

The unorthodox Romeo also hired a team of florists to decorate his girlfriend’s room with a banner saying: ‘Bride – I love you.’

It’s unclear if she said yes.
