The fake groom for a wedding is just a workaround for a cultural issue, maybe not uniquely Japanese. The society requires a groom, so here is one.
Am I missing something? Is this a typo? This isn't just cultural; how can there be a wedding, without a bride and groom?
- Hasz 9y agoI think the fake groom was in the context of societal pressure to get married, or for a gay couple to marry opposite sex partners. Having a fake groom fulfills these obligations without actually having to live with the stand-in.
