A Korat wedding on Saturday descended into chaos when a groom arrived with only half the agreed dowry.
He was meant to bring 100,000 baht and some gold but the cheapskate showed up with 50,000 and no excuse.
Both families started verbally fighting and so the groom scooped up his offerings and left them to it.
But it ended up with relatives of the bride reporting the matter to Ban Phusa police.
Yesterday the father of the bride Bunsuan Wareesri, 51, said it was none of his doing and he felt sorry for his daughter.
“Both sets of relatives should have had a lovely day – instead they were hot headed and started arguing,” he said. “My daughter went back to work in Bangkok in the night.”
He called it a misunderstanding but said there was still hope that the nuptials would be reorganized on a smaller scale at a later date.
The groom has agreed to compensate the family for wasting their money.
