On March 31, 2021, a wedding in Suzhou, China was strangely turned into a family reunion when the mother of the groom discovered that her soon-to-be daughter-in-law was actually her long-lost biological daughter.
News reports stated that the incident began unfolding as soon as the groom's mother managed to catch sight of the bride's birthmark located on her hand.
Apparently, the birth mark appeared extremely familiar to the woman – who had last seen it on her daughter many years ago before they were separated.

With the thought nagging at her, the woman was moved to ask the bride's parents: "Did you, by any chance, adopt your daughter?"
Upon hearing the question, the bride and her family were shocked. Having never revealed the fact, the parents finally relented that they had found the bride by the roadside more than 20 years ago, and had managed to adopt her as their child, whom loved and cared for like their very own.
Reunited at last.
Following the confirmation by her adopted parents, the bride and her biological mother found themselves crying and embracing each other as they celebrated an extremely unexpected reunion.

With the whole event now a fountain of tears, the bride moved to confirm one last detail – was her beloved and to-be-husband actually her elder brother?
Thankfully not. As it turned out, the groom was also adopted by the woman after she'd lost all hope of ever finding her daughter again. This meant that both bride and groom were completely unrelated, and that the marriage could go on as planned.
Guests at the wedding were no doubt shocked to find themselves witnessing such a peculiar occurrence, but all the same, still sent their best wishes to the happy couple and their families.

While the wedding still managed to proceed and things ended on a happy note, it must still be noted that on that day, a woman curiously had the rare privilege of both her children and children-in-law be the exact same people without the marriage being consanguineous.
Hopefully, the couple manages to have a lasting marriage without stumbling across any more hidden family secrets.
