Brides with cold feet are hiring professional ‘wedding destroyers’ to crash their nuptials
He crashes weddings for cash.
A Spanish prankster who offered to spoil couples’ big day for $550 as a goof was flabbergasted after brides hired him as a professional objector.
“I have weddings scheduled until December,” Ernesto Reinares Varea told Newsflash.
The Spaniard’s impromptu career shift occurred after he posted a satirical online ad.
“If you have doubts or don’t want to get married and don’t know how to refuse, don’t worry anymore, I’ll object to your wedding,” the self-proclaimed “wedding destroyer” wrote.”You just need to tell me the time, place, and date.”
He added, “For EUR 500 (around $550 US), I’ll come to your wedding and get it called off.”
What began as a goof quickly turned serious after couples inundated Varea’s inbox with requests that he torpedo their knot-tying ceremonies.
As a result, professional marriage saboteur has managed to turn a throwaway gag into a lucrative business.
“I’ll show up at the ceremony, claim to be the love of your life, and we’ll leave hand in hand,” declared Varea, who is booked full until the end of the year.
While 500 Euros is his going rate, the wedding crasher reportedly charges extra if he is attacked by incensed guests — something that happens on occasion, Varea confessed to local media.
“Each slap is worth 50 euros,” he declared.
That being said, Varea is definitely more welcome at weddings than his freelance counterparts.
In October, Sandra Lynn Henson, 56, a serial wedding crasher from Mississippi, was taken apprehended by authorities for allegedly stealing gifts from newlyweds moments after they’d tied the knot.
And this spring, a Colorado bride’s “stalker” kin crashed her private elopement ceremony — much to her hubby’s chagrin.
