Wedding Firms Sell Fake Flowers to Couples

The wedding business is big business in Japan…very big business. In fact, chapel weddings have more or less found their way into the Japanese culutre. Couples like to stand before a preacher and make promises to a God that they have no idea about.

The Japanese particularly like to do the wedding deed before a foreign preacher who stumbles over the Japanese.

I performed more than 900 such wedding ceremonies.  Mind you, I counseled those 900 couples BEFORE the wedding about the content of the ceremony and the God they were making promises to.

But…wedding organizers did not have the same scruples.

One organizer promised to send pressed flowers to the customers from the bouquet they used in their ceremony.

Who would know if they didn't? And for 7 years they sent phony flowers…raking in 90.6 million yen.  Busted!

Now the company is looking at repaying the fees they charged plus a penalty…and sooner or later someone is bound to sue them for destroying their dreams thus leading their family to dissolve and blah blah blah.

So, why do people/companies try to get away with lying to people when they think they can't get caught?

The Bible says people are apt to do wrong because punishment doesn't always come quickly.  However, it does come…it does come.

Why not be honest from the getgo?
