Vilu Reef staff caught verbally abusing wedding couple
The couple decided to have the blessing for their wedding ceremony in Dhivehi rather than English. The staff at Vilu Reef decided that, rather than a traditional wedding, they'd go with:
Unfortuantely, the staff decided to upload the video to YouTube and got themselves caught.

"You fornicate and make a lot of children. You drink and you eat pork. Most of the children that you have are marked with spots and blemishes. These children that you have are *******s."
“Before ******ing a chicken, check if the hole is clean. That is because the people of the countries that you are from are familiar with the taste of the ****holes of chicken,”

Manager Mohamed Rasheed told the AFP news agency: "The man had used filthy language. Otherwise the ceremony was OK."
He said the couple had received an apology.

Vilu Reef hotel, run by Sun Hotels and Resorts, charges $1,300 (Ł820) for the ceremony, which it says offers couples the chance to "mark a milestone in your amazing journey together".

Amazing that no one burst out laughing or otherwise ruined the prank. Amazing too that people would pay so much for such a ceremony, even a "legitimate" one. Still, the whole episode is disgusting and disgraceful.

If you watch the video with the translation (direct youtube link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3anLy3Hz9) it's pretty amazing that everybody has a straight face. I don't get how the people standing around were not bursting out laughing at it all. Not that it is at all funny, just when he starts ranting about chicken backsides, there's no way I could have kept a straight face.

Let's hope that the couple are some of the few remaining people in the world who haven't discovered the internet yet

Springing for a marriage ceremony in a far away place and in foreign language opens one up to all sorts of unwanted stuff. Never-the-less they were a victim of a cruel joke that could easily of been avoided.
I wonder if the prenup was written in the same language.
