Being a bridesmaid in China is so dangerous that professionals have appeared (6 photos)

At a wedding, the bride's friend should be the girl closest to the bride. Logical? That's what the Chinese used to do. Until the girls began to suffer and get injured en masse. And now, if you love your friend, then you will take on this role a girl who will professionally pretend to be your best friend.





Why fake friends at a wedding?

It's all about tradition, according to which friends or relatives of the bride used to put on wedding dresses and attract attention. Everything so that if pests or murderers show up at the wedding, they can distract from the real couple.

Now this tradition has been preserved in the form that the bridesmaid protects the bride from excessive alcohol. According to customs, the bride and groom must drink for each dear wedding guest.

Not a single girl will stand on her feet after this, even if you force her to drink heavily diluted wine. That’s why the bridesmaid takes the glass instead of the bride.

And to show respect for the guest, the alcohol must be real. And it turns out that...

Girls die one by one

In China, news periodically appeared about deaths at weddings. This was not because of fights, but the death of girls from alcohol overdoses.

The bridesmaids began to abandon their honorary role at the wedding, fearing for their lives. The bride's relatives were at a dead end, how could they be without such an important figure at the wedding?

And then professional girls appeared. They offer themselves to be bridesmaids on the Internet, convincing them that they know how to drink and that alcohol will not bring them down. Such help costs from 118 dollars and up to 1000.

They can be hired both on social networks independently, and as a separate service in agencies for organizing celebrations in China.

It's hot!

Alcohol overdose is just the tip of the iceberg. In China, especially in the provinces, they often like to hold sexist competitions and entertainment.

Yes, the same ones that give our younger generation Spanish shame. So, a bridesmaid licks a banana in public or undresses while guests clap. And her fiancé’s friends constantly pester her, this is considered a good omen.

In a number of provinces, cases of sexual crimes have occurred.



In China, like ours, the bride price is also conducted by the bride’s friend

In general, being a bridesmaid is such an unenviable fate that staunch girls who don’t put a finger in their mouth go for it only for money. Why is such a ritual necessary at all, which makes everyone feel bad, and girls run away from this position, even if they love the bride?
