on the afternoon of september 24, in response to the controversy caused by the video of "the bride was tied to a telephone pole by a crowd", the poster of the video responded that the incident happened at noon on september 23 in yangquan city, shanxi province, and their behavior was not a wedding prank. they had informed the bride and groom in advance and obtained the consent of the two newlyweds. after tying the bride to the telephone pole, they took a photo and then took it off (putting the bride down the pole). the time was very short and the bride was not injured. (according to the dafeng news on september 24)
on september 23, a netizen posted a video saying: this is the first time i have seen a bride tied to a telephone pole. haha, happy wedding. in the video, after a burst of firecrackers, a man ran forward with the bride who had just got off the car on his back. several young men behind chased and intercepted him. after that, the young man carrying the bride was pulled to a telephone pole by the crowd. someone began to tie the bride to the pole with tape.

in the video comment area, the video publisher uniformly replied to the netizens who paid attention to this matter: there is no bad guidance, it is just a local custom. they are all childhood friends, and they are very happy together, playing and joking. i hope that the comments in the comment area will be happy wedding.
although the poster of the video explained it, netizens still have different opinions. some netizens said that tying people to electric poles is a custom they cannot agree with. they really don't know how to bless and don't understand this kind of wedding prank.
some places do have the custom of wedding pranks, and there is a saying that "the more you prank, the happier you are." marriage is a big happy event, and it is human nature for everyone to share joy, create happiness, and pass on happiness. generally, pranks are done in moderation. for example, asking the bride and groom to hold hands and serve tea to the guests, and interacting with each other, are harmless. therefore, some netizens said that wedding pranks cannot be considered bad habits, but vulgar wedding pranks are bad habits. normal interactions are civilized and orderly, although they may be embarrassing, they will never make people embarrassed, and everyone can understand.
what is offensive is the wedding pranks that go beyond the scope of "joking about happiness", such as tying the bride and groom to a telephone pole with tape and then beating the groom with a belt. some grooms were stripped of their clothes and paraded through the streets with a mattress draped over them. some grooms were splashed with ink and flour, and this type of wedding prank has become a "prank". there are also reports of tragedies caused by wedding pranks, such as a groom running on the highway wearing only a pair of underwear and being hit by a passing car. the reason is that he was chased by his "joking" friends and eventually escaped onto the highway, causing a car accident. such wedding pranks only bring harm to the parties involved, and there is no joy.
when wedding pranks become a joke, the people being pranked often have no dignity, and even their personal safety is not guaranteed. although there is a saying that "there is no distinction between the old and the young for three days" during a wedding, and wedding pranks can be used to bring people closer, there are still boundaries in how people get along with each other, and personal dignity and personal rights are protected by law. "there is no distinction between the old and the young for three days" allows the newlyweds to lower their status, but it does not mean they can give up their dignity, and others cannot give up their respect for the newlyweds, and neither can they offend their personal dignity nor infringe on their personal rights.

regarding the "bride being tied to a telephone pole", on the 24th, the poster of the video responded that "it is our local custom to have some fun and have fun at weddings. we are all good friends together, and there is no harm as netizens say". this may be the original intention, but tying a person to a telephone pole may not be appropriate even if the other party agrees. because this kind of consent may be forced, or it may be due to the relationship of friends, or due to the constraints of local customs, and it may not be really willing. because in some places, if you don't agree to a wedding prank, you will be considered stingy and unpopular. there is also the mischief of following the crowd, because everyone makes a fuss like this when they get married, and if you don't make a fuss like this, it's not nice. these factors will force people to agree to a wedding prank.
according to reports, the video shows that when the bride was tied to the pole, she screamed several times and stretched out her hands to scratch. from this, we can see that the bride may not be willing to be tied up. this may not be "the parties agree, but the netizens do not agree". besides, even if the parties agree, it may not be appropriate. because the civil code stipulates that civil subjects shall not violate the law or violate public order and good customs when engaging in civil activities.
"celebrating a happy occasion" is "celebrating a happy occasion", but the behavior should not be out of line. even if you are good friends, you should respect each other and not go too far.
