Randy W Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 . . . but, Hey! It made the Houston paper ( I had previously seen it in several other places) Chinese groom arrested for inviting 200 fake guests to wedding In an ominous sign for the marriage ahead, a man in China was arrested for hiring 200 people to come to his wedding and pretend they were his friends and family. The people who called the authorities on him were his new in-laws. Why would someone hire "actors" to come to his wedding in the first place? According to the BBC, his new wife's family objected to the marriage because he was from a poor family. So, in order to save his family from being shamed, he just didn't invite them. The ruse does not seem to have lasted very long. It wasn't just that the people paid to show up all said they were "just friends" with the groom, but also once the ceremony started, the groom's parents were nowhere to be found. Soon after, the police were apparently called and the groom arrested. But what crime was actually committed by his fakery is unclear. In interviews with a regional news station, most of the phony guests said they were either taxi drivers or students. Others met the groom on a Chinese social media platform and negotiated a price to show up.
