To break such a curse, women perform a wedding ritual with a banana tree. Right after it, the tree is cut and the curse is considered broken. After that, the woman can marry an actual man and live a long life together.

If you’ve been invited to be someone’s groomsman, pick your attire carefully. Many men think, why would I spend more than $100 for a tux I’ll wear just once. But cheap rental clothing not only might look awful but, most probably, will feel awful as well. Cheap fabrics are hot, itchy, not very comfortable to spend the whole day in, and look bad in the photos. And rental clothing is often too big or too small, the sleeves aren’t of the right length, etc. So, it’s totally ok to wear a rental groomsman attire, but it should be of better quality.
