Hundreds of Grass People Attend a Wedding

[“Yeah, we had about 70,000 people show up. Plus the tens of millions watching at home, of course.”]
If you watched Super Bowl LX on Sunday, you saw a downright boring football game. But if you watched Bad Bunny’s halftime show, you saw an impressive and intricate spectacle. Using a massive set, the show was a celebration of the artist’s home of Puerto Rico . It included a wedding which was, in fact, entirely real.

The couple who got married during the halftime show is from Ontario, Calif., and had sent Bad Bunny a wedding invitation on a lark.

According to Hamilton, the engaged couple wound up with 15 extra wedding announcements — so they sent most to local businesses with the hope of maybe getting some free wedding perks. But the last invite? “They were like, ‘Why don’t we send one to Bad Bunny? Lots of people send wedding invitations to him, so why not,’” Hamilton said. “Bad Bunny’s office reached out, and they thought, ‘Amazing, maybe we’ll get a signed photo. But they were invited to a Zoom call, which they thought was kind of weird.”

That’s a pretty incredible story, one they can tell for the rest of their lives.

In addition to Variety’s overview, Wired also had a great discussion with the show’s producers. It details exactly how and why they arrived at the rather genius idea of dressing up hundreds of extras as, well, grass.
