A 72-year-old grandmother with a wooden stick escorted her grandson and the bride home on their wedding day, protecting them from any potential horseplay after the big day.
The incident, which went viral, happened in Guizhou province in southwest China and was recorded by the groom’s father, who thought the memory would be worth capturing.

The groom, surnamed Jiang, was concerned about vulgar wedding horseplay, so the grandmother stepped in to be the enforcer.

“Many of our local young adults like wedding horseplay, which our family despises,” said the father, the older Jiang.

“After seeing some people attempt to play tricks on my son, his grandmother became enraged and picked up a stick to escort the couple all the way from the bride’s home to our home,” he added.
