A mainland woman who sneaked into a wedding banquet in Hong Kong, pretended to be a friend of the newlyweds and posted a video of herself enjoying the feast, has sparked online outrage.
The woman, who goes by the name @kuailefeizhaidejiejie on social media, posted videos of her having a wedding feast in the city in mid-September.
In a video, she appears to be casual, enjoying wine and premium dishes such as abalone and roasted suckling pig while talking to other guests about her camera and exchanging her contact details.
The bride, known by her first name Angela, said the woman sat at a table shared by groups of friends who did not know each other previously. She thought the woman was a friend of theirs.
Angela only realised the next day that no one at the wedding knew the woman. She also did not give any gift money.
Guests at Chinese weddings in Hong Kong are expected to give red envelopes to the newlyweds as gifts. The customary amount for a wedding gift usually ranges from HK$800 to HK$1,000 (US$100 to US$130).
