Brotherly Love

Lil Miss G usually recommends clothing, merchandise, websites, etc for people, but today Lil Miss G recommends that one brother does not marry another brother’s future wife. I’m just saying…. I say this, because I just read about this story out of India that sounded crazy to me..

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.

“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 apologized for his behavior, but has been crying that word will spread and he will never get a bride again,” Singh said by phone.
