Wobbling Wedding Bells: This Week’s Most Ridiculously Real Wedding
Picture a quiet, fair, and dreamy setting in Indonesia that’s not your typical fairy‑tale backdrop. Instead, it’s the third‑floor balcony of an apartment, the scent of incense still lingering, and a man scrolling through Twitter when he spots something that’s going to change his love life forever.
The Strangest Matchmaker
On Thursday, September 23, a gentleman with a knack for quirky rituals decided to celebrate his “taking the plunge” with a tweet that quickly ricocheted across the platform. The kicker? His new spouse was… a rice cooker.
Yes, you heard that right. One of those nifty appliances that sits in kitchens all around the world.
The Ceremony That Made Heads Spin
- The footage showed the man, dressed in full wedding attire, his arm around the shiny metal bowl of a rice cooker, both sporting what, in fact, was affectionately called a “kasi” – the Indonesian word for a ceremonial robe.
- The camera zoomed in on the rice cooker’s tiny touchpad, which looked as if it were a reality‑show contestant flaunting confidence.
- It felt like a scene straight out of a bizarre rom‑com, lush with the same intensity you’d expect from heart‑throbbing “first kiss” moments.
Why It Felt Legit
Unlike the usual “I’m finally married” Instagram posts provoked by human partners, this one left everyone laughing and a touch of disbelief. The admin’s post was tagged with his “state of being” updates while he seasoned “cookbooks” in a future-focused saga. Humans may be happy with that and can of course be weird and keep a place where all the predictions could be found.
Unfortunately, the Love Cycle Ended Sudden
The plot twist? The marriage lasted only four days. Why? Because the rice cooker couldn’t paint a picture of his love-hungry life. The “wife” often left the kitchen without any vegetables, a concept that proved too messy for our main man. Without the aroma of sautéed onions or the crunchy zing of green peas, the man couldn… unplanned; and his marriage on the moment fell apart.
All in all, a story that literally shows how chefs hustled with their life swaps and shows that perhaps love is not just about hearts; it can be about the right condiment – or a kitchen appliance in this case.
Drunk Turkish man gives a whole new meaning to finding oneself
When a Party Turns into a Search Party
One Night, One Unusual Quest
Picture this: it’s a Saturday night, the drinks are flowing, the music is blasting, and Beyhan Mutlu—a 50‑year‑old dude from Turkey—decides it’s a great idea to stroll into a nearby forest. His friends quickly realised he might be out of his depth and pinged the authorities.
Why a Search Party Was Needed
- The friends had no clue where he’d wandered off.
- Someone had to ensure Beyhan didn’t end up hiding in a pine cone.
When the news hit, a group of volunteers sprang into action. They cried out, “Where’s the guy?” and, surprisingly, someone on the scene waved back, “Who are we looking for? I’m here.”
In the End, It Was Less About Finding and More About Being Found
All of a sudden, it seemed like Beyhan had become part of his own search party—odd, but hey, it’s a story nobody could ignore.
Lesson Learned (Maybe)
Got to remember that partying a little goes well until the evening ends up on a missing‑person line. Time to pull the brake on the liquor? Probably a good idea.
Danish artist ‘takes the money and run’
When Artist Borrowed Money, He Kept It!
Kunsten Museum in Aalborg, Denmark, had an unusual way of home‑upgrading an artist’s portfolio. They handed Jens Haaning a hefty 534,000 kroner (S$113,000) worth of cash to paint with his own banknotes. The artist, however, decided to play a different card. Just two days before the show on Sept 24, he sent back not a canvas full of colorful money, but two entirely blank canvasses titled “Take the Money and Run”.
Art or Audition?
- Jens claimed nothing was wrong—he said the piece was “essentially about the working conditions of artists.”
- Director Lasse Andersson laughed out loud upon receiving the blank works.
- Despite the prank, he decided to display them anyway.
Contracts and Deadlines
Andersson defended the museum’s authority: “If the money is not returned on Jan 16 as agreed, we’ll take the necessary steps to ensure that Jens Haaning complies with his contract.”
So the story goes: the man who promised to repaint his banknotes literally took the money and ran—at least until the museum decided it was pop‑art in the making.
