Indian groom too drunk to wed, so brother steps in
I found this interesting, go to your brother's wedding and then you become the groom!! May have saved that girl from an alcoholic husband too!!
Indian groom too drunk to wed, so brother steps in Mon Apr 30, 2007 7:57AM BST PATNA, India (Reuters) - Villagers at a wedding in eastern India decided the groom had arrived too drunk to get married, and so the bride married the groom's more sober brother instead, police said on Monday. "The groom was drunk and had reportedly misbehaved with guests when the bride's family and local villagers chased him away," Madho Singh, a senior police officer told Reuters after Sunday's marriage in a village in Bihar state's Arwal district. The younger brother readily agreed to take the groom's place beside the teenage bride at her family's invitation, witnesses said. "The groom apologised for his behaviour, but has been crying that word will spread and he will never get a bride again," Singh said by phone.

Wow. It is hard to imagine that's just how their culture is. I wonder how the bride felt about the new arrangement?

It's amazing just how different the culture is from ours, or anyones for that matter.

Funny thing is the bride had likely never met either of the brothers before, so what difference did it make to her? She still got tied to the same family with the same dowry I'd bet.
I can't imagine my family arranging a marriage for me! It's just too weird. Hopefully she got the better of the 2 at least.

Really strange. Sounds like she may have gotten a much better husband though.

Goodness, that is weird. Hope she got the better brother of the two! I can not imagine having an arranged marriage.
