I’ve heard of cold feet on the day of the wedding but this curious video (ht: @desinole via our #uberdesi feed), with foot-tapping background music, takes the proverbial cake. The groom is one gentleman, who DOES NOT, repeat DOES NOT, want this wedding to happen. He appears to be either drugged or on the verge of a serious emotional breakdown. On the other hand, the bride appears quite ecstatic and so does the mob, that is literally forcing the groom through the motions. Also to be noted, some sort of elected official appears in the video and appears to be in favor of the wedding.
The background story for this wedding is mentioned in the video, some sort of a romance gone bad, resulting in crowd justice. In some ways, it’s a weird union of a shotgun wedding, sans the gun and honor killing, sans the killing. Questions arise: what happens after the wedding? Did the crowd also “force” them to do the “wedding night”? Since the crowd insisted on the wedding, will they support the family after the wedding? Comedy all around, except from the groom’s perspective.
