Guests To Michigan Wedding Looked Pretty Stiff

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. A couple getting married in Michigan may find their wedding guests look a little stiff - because the well-wishers are cardboard cutouts. When the coronavirus stalled the couple's plans to invite dozens of friends and family, a local packaging company donated more than 100 cardboard stand-ins. The cutout guests come in all shapes and sizes. And best of all, not one of them is likely to object to the union. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
