Exclusive | People are paying to crash weddings thanks to new website

They’re giving Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn a run for their money.Party animals are now paying to be wedding crashers thanks to a new website that allows couples to fill empty seats ahead of their big day.

Not a Wedding Crasher was launched this month by a married couple from San Diego — and so far, they’ve filled chairs at four weddings in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Washington and San Antonio.Hannah Emerson was elated when she first saw the unusual opportunity advertised on TikTok.“I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, Heck yes!’ Because I’ve always wanted to crash a wedding.But obviously you can’t do that and be respectful about it, so this was perfect,” she told The Post.
