‘So tacky’: Chinese wedding guests in a flap as bride enters ballroom on giant mechanical goose which steals the show on her big day
- Wedding emcee ignores bride and sings praises of what she refers to as a ‘swan’ as the contraption ‘flies’ into ballroom
- Added disco lights turn bizarre marriage celebration into surreal event which social media observers have described as ‘so tacky’
A bizarre Chinese wedding ceremony, in which the bride entered the banquet ballroom riding on a giant mechanical goose, has amused many on mainland social media.
Instead of walking into the hall on a red carpet like most brides do on their big day, the woman in northern China’s Hebei province made her unforgettable entrance standing on the back of a mechanical flying goose.
As the contraption, or “swan” as the wedding emcee described it, “flew” into the wedding ballroom on a sliding rail built into the ceiling, with disco lights flashing all around, it was hardly surprising that it grabbed the attention of the guests.
The goose, draped in a big red silk flower to denote happiness, gently “flapped” its wings as it carried the bride towards the groom.
Instead of introducing the newlyweds, the emcee spent the bride’s whole journey extolling the virtues of the “swan”.
“Legend has it that the swan is a symbol of loyalty and eternal love, a symbol of peace and kindness, honesty and bravery, and great ambitions,” the emcee said.
