A jilted husband is suing his bride for ditching him and taking with  her $72,000 in wedding gifts.

In a lawsuit, Kevin Li says his pregnant fiancee left him just two days after their traditional Chinese wedding, taking with her a $24,000 diamond engagement ring and a stash of cash and checks.

Amy Chan, 33, allegedly took off with two diamond necklaces, three gold necklaces, a gold ring, and a gold bracelet given to her by relatives for the nuptials, according to NY Post.

However, just days after the wedding, Chan reportedly told Li she will go to her parents' house for the night, but returned and cut off all communication with him.

According to the lawsuit, filed at the Manhattan Supreme Court, the pair had been engaged for a year when the bridge became pregnant. Although they got engaged, Chan did not want to wed legally because she was on a waiting list for an apartment and feared that her marital status would make her ineligible to move into the studio apartment located in the Financial District.

So instead of marrying legally, the pair celebrated their nuptials at a dim sum restaurant in Chinatown.

The gifts given to them by their relatives and friends were given to Chan's mother to "inventory", but Li claims he never saw it again.
Court papers claim Chan dumped Li a week after leaving for her parents' house, but came back to their home in Brooklyn to take more gifts with her.

Li also claims Chan took with her a "betrothal" payment which he paid to his mother-in-law.

However, Chan told the NY Post that Li is lying and that "he is a devil." Chan claims that Li cut off communication from her first and that he has the cash, wedding gifts that were given to them by her relatives. She also said he is an uncaring deadbeat dad.

She told the paper: "What I got myself into was a disaster relationship. He took everything [from] my relatives. They gave me tons of money, that [he] took. If he won't give that back, I'm not giving him back anything. He's not a human being."
