Chinese wedding ritual turns out to be humiliating bullying

A video depicted a man with red panty was tied to a lamp post and being thrown eggs and poured ink. This is not a scene of bullying but one part of a Chinese wedding ritual. 

According to a Chinese media, this wedding scene took place in Ankang, Shanxi Province. The groom was made to wear red panty or even red lingerie and accepted all kinds of 'blessings' from friends and relatives, including pelting eggs and pouring ink. 

However, these acts were strongly decried by netizens as 'vulgar and unsightly' though a Chinese wedding planning staff claimed those 'blessing' could bring fortune.  

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Yes, the wedding depicted during Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show was real.

About five minutes into the 13-minute extravaganza at Levi's Stadium, the latter part of a wedding ceremony was shown, with a smiling officiant declaring the couple married, and the husband and wife, both wearing white, shared a kiss as dancers and musicians surrounded them and smiled.

The couple parted to reveal Lady Gaga and Los Sobrinos, a Puerto Rican salsa band who played on Bad Bunny's most recent album and at his Puerto Rican residency. They played part of Gaga's “Die With a Smile” before Bad Bunny joined the scene for his hit “Baile Inolvidable.”

He danced amid the wedding guests and the embracing couple.

After the show, his representative confirmed that the couple had actually been married during the show. The unnamed husband and wife had invited Bad Bunny to their wedding, but he said they should instead be part of his halftime show.

The artist served as a witness and signed their marriage certificate. There was a real cake too.

The wedding scene, which recreated a small outdoor plaza, was part of the show's greater celebration of Puerto Rico.
