It is common for marriage to rent a wedding dress, a wedding car, and a hotel, but if you find a "part -time bridesmaid" to attend your own wedding, this is still quite new. Three months ago, Wang Yu began to prepare for the wedding. Due to the busy work and her parents in the field, the wedding time was rushing during the week, so she set the wedding on the weekend before the "Qixi Festival". Wang Yu is from the Northeast. Her two or three friends are far away and they are married. In addition, the epidemic is inconvenient to walk. In order to make the wedding process complete and lively, she germinated the idea of ​​hiring strangers to serve as a wedding bridesmaid. "I have only one request for bridesmaids, unmarried and single. Because of traditional customs, bridesmaids are best to be unmarried women, so I pay more attention to this." Wang Yu said.

Wang Yu had this idea that was originally "Amway" who was affected by a Shenzhen friend. The friend said that there were more than 40 bridesmaids in Shenzhen "part -time", or even more than 10,000 a month. "She told me that in this way to meet the needs of all parties and was accepted by more and more people, so I wanted to find it in Xi'an." Wang Yu said. As a result, Wang Yu collected information about "part -time bridesmaids", and finally chose Zhou Qian to become her "bridesmaid" under the recommendation of the wedding company.

From the "Mother's Family Blocking the Door" to the pick -up game, from the talent performance of the wedding ceremony to the part of the part of the beasting of the new people, she was "ease". The entire wedding process was lively and warm, and Wang Yu was also very satisfied with Zhou Qian's performance. "We communicated the price beforehand, and the whole wedding was 300 yuan. In the game, she received some red envelopes and had to be refunded to me. I insisted on letting her collect it. At the end of the wedding, no one knew that she was my "hired" bridesmaid. "Wang Yu told reporters with a smile.

Ms. Pu, who was married not long ago, also attached great importance to the ceremony of the wedding. She believed that the happy events were pairing, so she invited two "part -time bridesmaids" to participate in her wedding. "There are a total of four bridesmaids and four groomsmen on the wedding day. The sense of ritual is full. I think this is the wedding I look forward to in my dream." Ms. Pu said.

However, it became a "part -time bridesmaid" from accidents. Zhou Qian laughed and said that she had a "public face". She was cheerful and widely hosted. She often improvised her friend's wedding and presented a song.

Once after the wedding of the university roommate, the person in charge of the wedding company in charge of the wedding company found her and asked her if she was single and was willing to work part -time to be a bridesmaid. "I didn't expect to have such a" sub -business "at the time, but I heard that the requirements were not very high, so I decided to try it." Zhou Qian told reporters. As a result, Zhou Qian, a single Zhou Qian, became a member of the "part -time bridesmaid". She believed that she was cheerful and had a sense of humor. I was good at interacting with people.

Before the wedding, Zhou Qian will also perform a warm field performance and the whole process. In the toasting session of the newcomer, you must also keep up with the rhythm. "One day, sometimes the feet are swollen, but being able to witness the happiness of others is a good thing." Zhou Qian said.

Xi'an's "part -time bridesmaids" are mostly difficult to transform for "retailers" to make "full -time"

As the "part -time bridesmaid" gradually entered the public's vision, there were more discussions on this profession. Earlier, there were news that "female college students worked part -time as bridesmaids for 30,000 per month" and "post -00 girls 2 years part -time part -time bridesmaids" have rushed to the hot search list of social media.

On July 27, the reporter's investigation found that there are currently many news about the "part -time bridesmaids" on social media, online part -time platforms, and second -hand items online trading platforms. Search for the keywords of "bridesmaids" in the mobile phone app store, and there are also apps that dedicated to the service of part -time bridesmaids. One of the APP profiles is: focusing on helping single men and women enter the bridesmaids and groomsmen's leasing industry to solve the problem of demanders. After downloading, the platform's public data showed that more than 150,000 bridesmaids have joined.

The reporter learned that in 2022, the platform released a total of nearly 300 bridesmaids and groomsmen from all over the country, and the service price was 300 yuan-400 yuan/day. Specific positioning to "Xi'an", since November 2021, the platform has released an order of 11 part -time bridesmaids. The recently completed order is a wedding held in the Lianhu District Zhiyuan Hotel at the end of May this year. The service fee of the bridesmaid is 300 yuan/day, and the platform shows that 16 people sign up for the service of this order. "Coordinates Xi'an, height XXX, weighing XXX, has less temperament, little -minded or light makeup, talented singing and dancing, not drinking, not accepting marriage ..." On the same city platform and a second -hand trading platform, reporters are also reporters. Seeing more information about the "part -time bridesmaids" in Xi'an, many users leave their own requirements and contact information on the platform, and some part -time experience sharing.

Subsequently, the reporter visited several large -scale wedding companies in Xi'an to learn that "part -time bridesmaids" had become the "inclusive item" in the "wedding one -stop" service. Xu Ran, the customer manager of the eight years of the industry, told reporters that in the past data, the demand for bridesmaids was much greater than the best man. As long as newcomers have demand, they will mobilize the industry's internal resources to recommend the appropriate "part -time bridesmaid" to customers. Is the current market formed by the Xi'an market? Xu Ran said that at present, the demand is not very large, and it is only "taking into account" for the wedding business system.

Most of the "part -time bridesmaids" are "retail investors" and they are free of order, with flexible time. The current daily price is 300 yuan once in the city of Xi'an. "What we can do is to use industry resources to help customers find suitable candidates. They do not accept commission and do not participate in the entire cooperation process. As far as the current situation, it is difficult to transform part -time as a full -time job." Xu Ran said.

"Part -time bridesmaids" have the risk of "marriage trouble", and safety issues need to be paid attention to

Regarding inviting "part -time bridesmaids" to participate in the wedding, everyone's acceptance is not the same. Ms. Zhu, who lives in Beilin District, said: "Of course, the wedding is the best friend to be a bridesmaid. I don't care about the traditional sense that I must be an unmarried lady as a bridesmaid. Friends above the year. I invite strangers to take on the bridesmaids. I don't think there are no third -party supervision norms, and many things can't be explained. "Some people have worried about" part -time bridesmaids ":" I still feel unsafe, and the customs of marriage and drinking are also the customs of drinking and drinking. A question that needs to be considered, there is no way to protect the legitimate rights and interests. "

In response, Wang Xiaoyong, a social sciences expert at the Shaanxi Academy of Social Sciences, said: The emergence of "part -time bridesmaids" is a marketization behavior, but at this stage, the development has not yet reached the standardization level, and it needs to be further improved. In the acquaintance society restricted by traditional customs, the bridesmaids are generally came by the relatives and friends of the newcomers. The newcomers have the responsibility and obligations to protect relatives and friends to prevent the harmful behavior caused by the behavior of "marriage and trouble." However, "part -time bridesmaids" belong to a kind of employment relationship in strangers society, and a series of disputes caused by it need to be resolved through legal channels.

Lawyer Zhou Wenhai, a lawyer of Shanghai Shenhao (Xi'an) Law Firm, believes that all parties should sign an agreement in a timely manner before leased the best man and bridesmaids to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. In addition, the agreement should be stated in the processing of service and the treatment plan during the "marriage trouble". The employee is responsible for providing a safe, civilized and etiquette practice security guarantee for "part -time bridesmaids"; "In trouble", or forced to drink, lawyer Zhou suggested that "part -time bridesmaids" should resolutely refuse and fixed evidence through measures such as taking pictures, videos, recording, and reporting to the public security organs as soon as possible.
