A bride to be, identified as Yu Qing Weng, has been dragged to court by her jilted groom, Jin Dong of Manhattan, who according to the lawsuit, she “inducted to marry her … without any intention of keeping her promise in order to obtain the money and jewelry”.

In the lawsuit filed on Wednesday, Jin Dong accused the Brooklyn woman of stealing $287,033 in cash gifts, jewelry and costs linked to their pre-wedding reception, and moving out of their home in August 2017 without getting married to him.

NYTimes reported that Weng collected her pre-nuptial windfall in January 2017, and disappeared seven months later with “all of the money and jewelry she received in anticipation of the contemplated marriage,” according to the lawsuit.

She fled with $40,000 in “exquisite betrothal gold jewelry” and a $63,300 cash dowry paid by the groom as is the custom in their native China, the lawsuit charged.

Dong additionally paid his fiancée’s mom an additional $5,300 “gift of appreciation” along with an extra $2,000 apiece to Weng’s grandmother and kid brother.

The lawsuit specifically charges Dong’s family and friends gave $110,000 in cash that disappeared along with Weng. In addition to the runaway bride, the lawsuit cites her parents Mei Zhu Weng and QiYong Weng.

However reacting to the lawsuit, the bride to be said “It’s not true, I would never do this. He’s making it up”.

Weng’s mum who was also dragged into the lawsuit, said the groom was a cheapskate who despite his free-spending claims, never even bought her daughter an engagement ring.

“We didn’t take the money. Jin Dong was mean,” the mom said through a translator. “He never gave (Yu Qing) any money to live. He didn’t buy her any jewelry.”

From the court papers, it was gathered that the couple “had an intimate relationship” before announcing their engagement in 2016, followed by a traditional wedding banquet “in anticipation of a contemplated civil marriage.”

In a related case, A bride-to-be, who was trusted by her fiance to organize his stag party, left him feeling embarrassed when she ran away with his stag party funds, leaving him and his friends stranded. Rachel Dorans, 27, had gone as far as forging boarding passes for flights to Ibiza after collecting £440 off each of her fiance’s friends. Chris Mahone, from Whitehaven, Cumbria in England, said he and 30 friends arrived at the airport on Thursday for the four-day getaway only to find out their tickets were fake and their hotel had not been booked. It was only then they became aware that Rachel had deceived them and the friends were left stranded at Leeds and Bradford Airport as Chris desperately tried to speak to her. By the time he returned to the home he shared with Rachel, she had already left with the £13,000 fund for the stag party.

Sources close to Rachel said she believed that Chris had cheated on her and wanted revenge. However, she had been mistaken and she quickly became the butt of the town’s jokes and even her own family disowned her. Chris who had gone on Facebook the previous night to post “ready for Ibiza”, returned to the same platform to apologize to his friends, some of which had been setting aside money every week to give to Rachel. He wrote: “Words cannot describe the pain and feelings that are playing with my head today. I totally want to apologize to all my fantastic mates that we’re gonna celebrate what was supposed to be my stag do. I can’t apologize enough. I’m sorry boys I really am.” His friends quickly created and posted memes of Rachel superimposed on film posters including Runaway Bridge and The Wolf of Wall Street. One relative told The Sun: “It happened because she heard he’d cheated on her when he hadn’t. She must have been planning her revenge for months, maybe a year. She’s disgusting.” Another relative, who did not want to be named, said: “We are all devastated. He thought she was the most amazing fiancée ever, for organizing the stag and everything. My mum confronted Rachel in the home she shares with Chris across the road. She said sorry and was told she had better leave.” Even Rachel’s gran Monica McKee, 81, has washed her hands of her. She said: “Her parents are just devastated, embarrassed and disgusted — they won’t even come out the house. We’ve all done everything for her and all she’s done is throw it back in our faces
