#2I wonder how much the one child policy has had an effect in making this type of industry prevalent in China.
With a one-child policy, the first generation you have no siblings. The next generation, you have no cousins.
Add to that the sex selection of many families choosing to have a son over a daughter as their one child, and you end up in this situation.

#3Humanity is such a unique and varied place. I don't know anything about Chinese culture but this could easily be the basis of a romantic comedy in America.

#5I like the end of the article:
> Xie met her current boyfriend at a wedding, where they were working as a professional bridesmaid and best man. He’s promised to make her the happiest bride. “We will hire 24 groomsmen and bridesmaids,” Xie told Sixth Tone.

I realize cultures are different, but as a wedding photographer I can tell you the happiest brides are usually the ones that have the fewest bridesmaids.
Smaller weddings are less stressful, but more importantly the friendships seems to be closer/more loving when there are 2 or 3 bridesmaids instead of 10.

#7My first thought is that the pictures would be super awkward in ten years, but I think that's already the case when looking at many people's bridesmaids and groomsmen.
Seeing a stranger in the picture is probably less awkward than the person who scammed you out of a bunch of money or broke up with your siblimg.

#8I wonder how looks other than height affect the job. You probably don’t want your bridesmaids to be prettier than you, but you also want them to look good for photos. That’s a fine line for most of the population.

#9"A bridesmaid needs to be unmarried" - Interesting...

#10I'm in a wedding soon where the groom basically sent all the groomsmen a kind of odd message saying here is what you are responsible for doing. I think it was intended as being kind of funny but none of us know each other and this isnt someone I'm exceptionally close with anymore.
It feels like I just got signed up to do work. I could see how this could easily be a job.
