“恐婚”阿根廷年轻人流行花钱参加假婚礼

Although most young Argentinians aren’t even thinking about marriage these days, they seem quite fond of wedding ceremonies. So they’ve come up with a bizarre party trend of fake weddings, where groups of 20- and 30-somethings get together to attend wedding-themed parties complete with fake bride and groom.

虽然大多数阿根廷年轻人根本没考虑过谈婚论嫁，可他们似乎都还很喜欢参加婚礼。所以他们开启了“假结婚的奇异潮流，一堆20或者30多岁的年轻人齐聚一堂，参加婚礼主题的聚会，不过新郎和新娘都不是真的。

The idea was the brainchild of 26-year-old publicist Martin Acerbi, who, a couple of years ago, organised a fake wedding with four of his friends in La Plata, about 32 miles away from Buenos Aires. “It all started two years ago with a group of friends: we realised we hadn’t been to a wedding in a long time because hardly anybody is getting married anymore, Acerbi says.

26岁的公关马丁•阿克比想出了这一主意，几年前，他与他的四位朋友在距离阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯51.5公里远的拉普拉塔组织了一场假婚礼。他回忆道：“一切始于两年前我和一群朋友的经历：由于现在很少有人结婚，我们意识到我们很久没有参加过婚礼了。

To his surprise, the event was a huge success which got him thinking about a new business. The friends went on to found ‘Falsa Boda’, a fake wedding organising company, in November 2013. They rent out real wedding locations, hire caterers, florists, and DJs, and make everything look like a real wedding. Except, there is no ‘happily ever after’.
