They have been under the spotlight1 somewhat recently - it started with Pippa Middleton - in that dress - followed by the release of Bridesmaids last month.
从皮帕·米德尔顿身着伴娘礼服开始,到上月电影《伴娘》的上映,近段时间来伴娘这一人群颇受关注。
Following suit, a study has now discovered that a drunken fling with a bridesmaid(伴娘) is the most likely time that a married man will stray.
Over 2,000 men and women were surveyed by top extra-marital dating site, Illicit2 Encounters with a third of men admitting that they have cheated on their partner at a wedding - when their other half wasn't there.
With the wedding season in full swing - from Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall this weekend to Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries this August - many will be too occupied with their nuptials3 to notice what goes on the behind the scenes.
But results show that 32 percent of men have cheated at a wedding, while only 27 percent had strayed at the stag party.
A spokeswoman for Illicit Encounters, Rosie Freeman-Jones said: 'There’s something about being a bridesmaid which is incredibly attractive to men.
'Maybe by wearing a bridesmaid outfit4 they are advertising5 the fact they are available and also at a wedding everyone is there to have a good time.'
Women were also asked which parties they thought provided the most convenient opportunity for their partner to cheat.
Responses show that they severely6 underestimate the wrongdoings that occur at marriage ceremonies with 37 percent replying that they felt most dubious7(可疑的,暧昧的) of the Christmas party while only 11 percent cited the wedding as a potential pitfall8.
Films such as Four Weddings and a Funeral, Wedding Crashers and American Pie: The Wedding have attempted to shed light on the lewd9 acts that go unnoticed on the big day.
Rosie Freeman-Jones adds: 'At a wedding all the elements are present for one-night stands to happen.
'Quite a bit of booze, dancing, people dressed to impress, an air of sexual electricity at the reception, and access to hotel rooms to meet in private.'
