I like the end of the article:
> Xie met her current boyfriend at a wedding, where they were working as a professional bridesmaid and best man. He’s promised to make her the happiest bride. “We will hire 24 groomsmen and bridesmaids,” Xie told Sixth Tone.
- Auracle 4y agoI realize cultures are different, but as a wedding photographer I can tell you the happiest brides are usually the ones that have the fewest bridesmaids. Smaller weddings are less stressful, but more importantly the friendships seems to be closer/more loving when there are 2 or 3 bridesmaids instead of 10.
- arethuza 4y agoI'm from the UK and we got married in the Seychelles 32 year ago - there was just the two of us and some people from the hotel standing in as witnesses. It was brilliant and completely stress free. The hotel even organised a "honeymoon" for us for free where we flew to another hotel on a different island for a few nights - they didn't even charge us for it. Ever since then I've noticed how stressed people are at weddings.... Edit: I should also point out that this was also much cheaper than a "normal" wedding.

- spoonjim 4y agoI once performed services for a wedding where there were 28 bridesmaids and groomsmen combined (a roughly even mix of each). Everything seemed very status driven and the wedding was at least a $500K affair.
- wmeredith 4y agoRing cost and length of marriage seem to be similarly related.
- rsynnott 4y agoThat is clearly the setup for a not-very-good romantic comedy movie.
