4-Year-Old Thai Twins Gets Married in Traditional Ceremony

July 4, 2025, 6:57 pm

In an unusual occurrence that has attracted widespread attention, a Thai family held a traditional wedding ceremony for their four-year-old twins. The ceremony was conducted at Kalasin’s Prachaya Resort in Thailand, where twin brothers Thatsanaporn Sornchai and sister Thatsathorn went through marriage rites in the company of family members. A ceremony video has since been shared widely, raising interest and hilarity online.

The video features extensive preparations made for the visitors and Buddhist monks. At one point, the newly wed bride kisses her twin brother on his cheek. They subsequently participate in wedding ceremonies as blessings are offered by the monks. At some time, both kids are marked on their foreheads after the exchange.

The wedding, which took place on June 28 based on Singapore-based news outlet Must Share News, featured a dowry of four million baht and gold, with monks bestowing their blessings. The clip has gone viral in social media circles, evoking many comments. Some of the viewers enjoyed the traditional culture, but others saw the practice as odd. One viewer posted, “A great example of how cultural beliefs influence traditions.”

Cultural Belief Associated with Previous Lives

Although unexpected for many, such a ceremony is quite normal in Thailand. It is based on the belief that twins of the opposite sex are lovers in their previous life who have been reincarnated as twins. In order to avoid misfortune, illness, or injury in their current life, they have to wed each other with a ceremonial ceremony.

This tradition is believed to bring harmony and longevity to the twins, and has been handed down from generation to generation. Jongkon Sonchai, the mother of the twins, said that her children were born on June 14 and are now four years old.

Not Legally Binding

Significantly, this union is not legally binding and is merely ceremonial. According to Hua Hin Today, these weddings are usually conducted before the twins reach ten years of age, based on the notion that they have shared karma since birth.

“May the twins grow up with all the blessings this symbolic ceremony hopes to bring,” is one caption accompanying the viral photos.

A ‘Fifty Shades’ Vidai: Desi Groom Ditches Car, Arrives in Helicopter | WATCH

June 14, 2025, 3:36 pm

Rajasthan weddings are famous for their grandeur, and one of the grooms just took it to another level by replicating a classic scene from Fifty Shades of Grey. To ensure his bride’s vidaai was one of a kind, he rented a helicopter, just like in the legendary helicopter scene between Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele in the movie Fifty Shades of Grey. The video, which became viral, left everyone on social media stunned.

Posted on Instagram, the video features the bride smiling as she is dressed for her wedding and sitting in the helicopter. The groom looks delighted as he takes snapshots of moments within the chopper, including the pilot, the bride, and relatives who boarded the flight. The caption for the video reads humorously as, “Christian Grey from Rajasthan. If the helicopter scene from Fifty Shades of Grey had been made in Rajasthan.”

A gesture of a similar kind was in the news in Uttar Pradesh recently. A Jhansi farmer, after making Rs 50 lakh by selling his produce, spent some of the amount hiring a helicopter to escort his son’s bride home with dignity. As the chopper flew over the village, curious villagers came out to watch the unusual and expensive spectacle. Women from the family greeted the new bride with traditional rituals as she landed.

Talking to ETV Bharat, Deepchandra, the groom’s father, said, “To fulfill the dream of the elders, we attempted to bring the bride in a helicopter in all the weddings of the family so far, but somehow, it was not possible. This year, we had a bumper crop, which assisted in getting the bride in a helicopter.”

Groom Abhishek disclosed that the helicopter entrance was a group decision and was approved by all members of the family. “We wanted to celebrate in a big manner so that other villagers too feel motivated to do something special and help the village gain recognition,” he stated.

Bride Jyoti was thrilled with the novel experience. “She never thought she would fly to her new home in a helicopter one day,” the news article observed. She added that she was extremely thankful to her in-laws for making an extra effort to treat her to this memorable farewell.

Rhino Crashes Wedding Ceremony, Internet Says ‘Wild Card Entry’ | WATCH

May 28, 2025, 12:55 pm

Weddings are usually remembered for tearful vows, blinding décor, and upbeat dance routines but one recent wedding went viral for a completely different reason. In a clip that’s now making its way around social media, a mature rhinoceros strolled into what looked like a wedding reception rather nonchalantly, catching guests off guard and becoming the center of attention in an instant.

The bizarre experience has been caught on camera and posted by the Instagram account ‘nepalinlast24hr’, gaining thousands of views and comments within hours. The date and place of the incident, however, are not determined.

Internet Bursts Into Laughter

Of course, social networkers replied in typical internet fashion with jokes and sarcasm. One called the rhino a “Wild card entry,” another said, “That’s what they mean by making an entrance.” A third joked, “When the invitation states ‘everyone is invited’ and nature brings it seriously.”

Others maintained the levity. “Looks like he came to bless the couple,” one fan posted, to which another responded, “Forget baraatis — this was a barah-ton entry.” Another cracked, “Hope they had a return gift waiting for him.”

From Blessings to Dance Floors

Others also surmised where the wedding would be held, with some speculating that it could be near a jungle or forest preserve. “When your wedding is too near the jungle, this is what you get,” one observer commented.

Throwing in some additional chuckles, someone pictured the rhino set to party: “Perhaps he was seeking the dance floor,” while someone else celebrated the moment with, “The actual VIP has arrived.” One viewer simply couldn’t resist making light of the dress code, saying, “That rhino clearly didn’t receive the memo concerning formal wear.”

The incident also gave rise to a fresh brand of wedding jitters, with one writing, “New fear unlocked: wildlife crashing my wedding.” While envisioning the DJ’s dilemma, another said, “Imagine being the DJ and trying to keep the vibe going during that!”

While the enigmatic rhino’s visit was brief, it left quite an indelible mark — one that neither the guests nor the internet is likely to forget in the near future.

Teen Boys Beaten to Death After Dispute Over Tandoori Roti at Wedding in Amethi

May 5, 2025, 4:03 pm

What was meant to be a celebratory event at a wedding in Amethi in Uttar Pradesh ended in gory fashion when a dispute over tandoori rotis led to the brutal murder of two teens. 17-year-old Ashish and 18-year-old Ravi were beaten to death after a shouting match at a food stall at the wedding.

Police reported that the altercation took place at midnight on Sunday when Ashish and Ravi, cousins, were standing in line at the tandoori roti stall. There, they had an argument with Rohit, a groom’s cousin, and some other guests. What began as a shouting match soon turned into a full-blown fight, with witnesses claiming that Rohit and his friends felt “disrespected” and “humiliated” by the teens.

Attacked with Sticks and Rods

Ashish and Ravi, after the initial confrontation, took a few friends and left the wedding hall. But at about 1 a.m., they were apparently attacked by Rohit and his friends, who possessed iron rods, hockey sticks, and lathis. Although some of the friends did escape, the two cousins were overpowered and brutally attacked on the road.

Passersby later discovered their badly injured bodies and took them to a nearby hospital. Because of the severity of their injuries, they were shifted to AIIMS Rae Bareli and subsequently to a hospital in Lucknow. Unfortunately, Ashish died on the way, and Ravi was pronounced dead on arrival.

Shiv Bahadur, Ashish’s father, spoke of his horror and grief at the brutal brutality. “My son had gone to a wedding. He never returned. The victims were both students, young and full of promise. And all for a few rotis?” he said to TOI.

FIR Registered, Arrests Made

After the complaint of the father, an FIR was lodged against 13 people—eight of them named, and five unidentified—under sections such as murder and rioting. Amethi Additional SP Harendra Kumar has confirmed that three of the identified suspects have been arrested, and attempts are being made to trace the others.

‘Aur Khao Kadhai Mein Khana’: Groom Reaches Wedding Venue All Drenched | WATCH

May 3, 2025, 5:46 pm

In Hindu culture, rain during a wedding is a common belief to be good luck, representing purity, new starts, fertility, and a good marriage. But among most desis, there is also a light-hearted superstition to it that a partner had to have consumed food cooked in an iron kadhai (wok), which resulted in rain. This is a belief, much popularly known to be one, but it has again picked up pace online due to a viral video.

The video uploaded on April 15 captures a groom walking towards his wedding while it rains heavily. While others wait for him under an overhang, trying to stay dry along with his friends, family, and relatives, the groom can be heard talking to one of his relatives before the camera moves to the crowd exchanging smiles and light-hearted laughter.

What absolutely stole the limelight was the caption of the video — “Aur khao kadhai me khana.” The POV of the video also states, “Kuch nahi bas ladka kadhai me khana tha,” going further to enhance the comic side.

Social Media Responds

As the video went viral with more than 7 million views, social media users inundated the comments with clever interpretations and typical desi humor.

One of the users commented, “Divided by religion/community, United by such desi things.” Another user joined in, “Kadhai nhi cooker me khata hoga direct tbhi aise barish ho rhi h.”

While the groom was the primary target of jokes, some users turned the tables, implying the bride could be at fault as well. One of the comments stated, “Ye bhi to ho sakta h ladki ne kadhai me khaya ho.” Another added, “Galat baat h yaar kadhai me khaya tha to kadhai girni chahiye thi n.”

The meme material moment saw users chiming in with lighthearted spins such as, “Isko koi btaya nhi kya ……nhi khana tha,” and “Yeh tho relatable ho gya.”

Others also joked about themselves, claiming that they’ve dined out of a kadhai frequently and now worry about what the weather for their future weddings will be. As one wrote: “New fear unlocked?”

What started out as a humorous dig at a rain-soaked groom has evolved into a viral celebration of a common cultural idiosyncrasy — wrapped in playful insults.

Man’s Wedding With 2 Brides In China Goes Too Far And Viral

April 25, 2025, 8:48 am

A planned wedding in China that featured one groom and two brides was abruptly cancelled after it triggered a wave of public outrage and prompted action by local police.

Photo With Two Brides Sparks Controversy

The controversy began when an unusual wedding invitation surfaced on Chinese social media. It featured a man in a black suit standing between two women in white bridal gowns. The image, reportedly from Bijie in Guizhou province, rapidly circulated online and ignited intense debate over its legality and social appropriateness.

High-End Venue, Public Backlash

According to The Paper, quoted by the South China Morning Post, the wedding was scheduled for April 19 at the upscale Century Jiayuan Banquet Centre in Bijie. The invitation included the groom’s name alongside those of both women, leading to confusion and widespread criticism.

Police Confirm It Was a Prank

Authorities stepped in after the image went viral. Police later confirmed that the ceremony was a prank and clarified that one of the two women in the photo was the man’s ex-wife. “Persuasion and education” were given to those involved, and the event was formally cancelled. The man has since stated he plans to legally register his marriage with his current girlfriend soon.

Banquet Hall Cancels Booking

The venue responded by canceling the booking. In a statement issued on April 17, the banquet management said: “When we received the reservation, we were unaware it involved a three-person wedding. Due to the extensive public attention it garnered, we realised it was quite unconventional. Our management decided to cancel the booking, as it does not comply with the law.”

Legal and Social Backdrop

Bigamy is illegal under Chinese law. While no formal charges have been filed against the trio, it’s unclear whether further legal action will be taken.

Not a First in China

This isn’t the first time a wedding stunt has made waves in China. In 2022, a man in Jiangsu province shared staged photos of himself with his wife and her friend, claiming he intended to marry both. He was later punished for disturbing public order, though details of the penalty were not disclosed. He admitted it was all a ploy for online attention.

One Mandap, Six Weddings: Siblings Save Lakhs with One Grand Family Affair

April 21, 2025, 5:47 pm

In a nation where weddings tend to be lavish events, one farming community in Haryana’s Hisar district took a different approach. In Gawar village, brothers Rajesh and Amar Singh Punia set tongues wagging by staging a double wedding for all six of their children over two days, showing that tradition need not necessarily be expensive.

The festivities commenced on April 18 with the two sons of the family marrying each other. Their four daughters followed suit with their marriages the next day in similar jubilant ceremonies. The event drew fast attention both from the people locally and online social media followers, who hailed the family for mixing merriment with sense of finance.

“We grew up together, our children grew up together, and now they’ve entered married life together,” said Rajesh Punia, describing the reasoning behind the joint celebration. “It was sensible to celebrate this milestone as one family, with one grand celebration.

One invitation card was printed for each of the six weddings, and the whole affair was organized at a single location. Several mandaps were arranged side by side, and this joint arrangement allowed the family to save on big expenses such as catering, logistics, and decoration.

If we were to have organized each wedding independently, the cost would have been much more,” Amar Singh Punia said. He added that it would have been expensive and difficult to stage six individual weddings. The family estimates that by staging the two weddings together, they saved multiple lakhs of rupees.

Other than saving money, the joint wedding also ensured better time management for the guests. In the current busy life, attending more than one wedding can be challenging. “This agreement enabled friends and family to attend all of the ceremonies without having to take time off work,” a relative said.

The ceremony was attended by several hundred guests, a number of whom were genuinely shocked by the Punia family’s choice. “It was a wedding, a festival, and a message all at once,” commented a guest. “They’ve proved that tradition doesn’t have to be extravagant.”

Photographs and footage of the wedding were circulated online, where they were greeted with respect by the public, who viewed the wedding as a welcome break from the often-materialistic wedding culture prevalent today.

Kindergarten Kids Who Played ‘Husband and Wife’ Tie the Knot 20 Years Later

January 21, 2025, 12:59 pm

A heartwarming story from China has swept the social media with a love story of a couple whose romance dates back to their kindergarten days. The newly married couple was seen revealing that they had once acted as husband and wife in a kindergarten play twenty years ago, SCMP said.

The groom, surnamed Zheng, and his wife, whose name has not been made public, exchanged their vows on January 7 in Chaozhou, Guangdong province. What brought them to the attention of the internet is their shared past: though in different grades, they had pretended to be newlyweds during a school gala performance 20 years ago.

In a remixed video that emerged from the play, the teenage bride and groom were dressed up in a shimmering wedding dress and a tuxedo, and complete with layers of heavy makeup. The backdrop displayed a large cartoon image of the boy and girl holding hands and other children served as bridesmaids and groomsmen.

After kindergarten, Zheng and his kindergarten “bride” attended separate primary schools and lost touch. However, in 2022, their paths crossed again when Zheng’s kindergarten classmates shared the old video. Zheng’s mother, after seeing the footage, suggested reconnecting with the girl. With help from a kindergarten teacher, Zheng reached out to her.

Zheng and his girlfriend, being both single back then, developed a close tie and regretted not reconnecting earlier. That love story brought them together where they eventually wedded, pleasing millions on social media in Chinese.

The story received 76 million views on one platform alone, and netizens just can’t get over the story. “They should give the teacher a red envelope containing a hefty amount of money, haha,” one user jokingly wrote. Another said, “What magical karma! They are meant to be together.

Kindergarten activities go viral in China. In 2023, there was a story about a Jiangsu province nursery hosting a wedding ceremony for two pet rabbits invited by children to come and be present. It also featured a wedding banquet and gifts; it amazed kids and netizens alike.

A couple from Kapu village in Chhattisgarh, has been making headlines as they have decided to wed each other in a more unusual way. Instead of all the traditional community rituals followed in marriages, the couple preferred to take an oath of the Indian Constitution to bless their union.

They took an oath in the Indian Constitution, which they stood in front of a portrait of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the father of the Constitution. Explaining their decision, groom Eman Lahre told the outlet that the prime reason was to save from unnecessary expenses. “This type of marriage saves on extravagant expenses,” he told the outlet, adding, “We decided to tie the knot with our families’ consent, avoiding unnecessary expenditure.”

The ceremony has sparked talks in the region, with most people commending it as a “meaningful approach to marriage.” Community members and the couple’s parents also welcomed the decision, giving their blessing to the newlyweds.

In another unusual wedding story, a newlywed bride in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, left her husband and his family stunned on their wedding night with her unexpected demands. During the Muh Dikhai ceremony, she asked for beer, marijuana (ganja), and goat meat. While the groom agreed to her request for beer, the tension rose when she insisted on the other items. Uncomfortable, the groom went to his family for defense, which escalated into an argument and ended up with the involvement of local police.

Things took a dramatic turn at the police counseling session when the groom’s family made a sensational claim that the bride was not a woman but of the third gender. Shockingly, neither family filed a complaint. Instead, the police brokered the situation and suggested that both families resolve the matter amicably.

The White Wedding Dress: More Than A Tradition, A Symbol Of Faith

December 17, 2024, 4:19 pm

The white bridal gown has come to represent innocence, purity, and fresh starts in Christian wedding customs. However, the history of this iconic garment and deeper significance are far more complex than its contemporary connotations of style and custom. Understanding the symbolic meaning behind the white dress in Christian marriages makes the cultural and spiritual ideals it reflects more understandable.

Historical Origins

The tradition of the white dress at weddings can trace much of its history to Queen Victoria of England. In 1840, she donned a white gown in her wedding to Prince Albert, which was a rather revolutionary decision at the time, as brides were allowed to wear dresses of varying colours. Queen Victoria’s choice was not only for fashion but also symbolic- it represented simplicity, elegance, and a break away from royal extravagance. The white garment quickly became fashionable among European and American brides, and it then became the accepted norm of the Christian marriage in years to come.

Symbolism in Christianity

The white dress holds a profound spiritual significance for Christians. It symbolizes innocence, purity, and the bride’s determination to enter the holy covenant of marriage with a pure heart and soul. The Bible makes numerous references to white as a symbol of holiness and righteousness. Revelation 19:7-8, for instance, describes the church as Christ’s bride, dressed in “fine linen, bright and clean,” meaning chastity and spiritual preparedness.

The white dress, therefore symbolizes the bride’s spiritual commitment to her partner and reflects the wish of honouring God in the marriage. It also presents the idea of fresh starts—to leave the past and embark on a new life as a couple that God has joined.

A Reflection of Joy and Celebration

The white cloth also represents joy and festivities that transcend the spiritual elements. In Christian weddings, marriage is considered a very happy occasion that unites two people in a relationship that will last a lifetime and is a gift from God. The brightness, joys, and optimism of the day are reflected in the white dress.

Beyond the Dress: Purity of Heart

It is important to note that the meaning of the white dress is an inward commitment rather than just a look. The purity it symbolizes encompasses not just physical virginity but also faithfulness, intention, and heart purity. The wish of the couple to establish their marriage on a foundation of faith, trust, and God’s love is made evident by the bride’s white clothing.

In Christian weddings, the white clothing reflects biblical principles and tradition and represents faith, purity, and joy. Reminding couples of the sanctity of their vows and the beauty of starting a new chapter with God’s blessing, symbolizes the bride’s preparedness for a lifetime journey of love and unity.

Aadhaar Card Themed Wedding Invitation Card Goes Viral

December 13, 2024, 6:14 pm

The unconventional design of a wedding invitation has taken the internet by storm, leaving recipients confused in the first place. Most of them mistook it to be an Aadhaar card, only to realize upon closer inspection that it was actually a wedding card.

Wedding cards with traditional religious motifs and designs are slowly shifting to creative innovative forms. One of the best examples of this trend has been the Aadhaar card-styled wedding card that has taken over social media circles by storm.

DK Sardana (@dksardana) posted on his ‘X’ (formerly known as Twitter) the unique card that closely resembles the Aadhaar card, with its overall design and even the writing style. However, it is noted that the words “Shubh Vivaah” or “auspicious wedding” replaced the term “Aadhaar”.

The bride and groom, Prahlad and Varsha, from Pipariya village in Madhya Pradesh, are prominently featured on the card. Instead of the usual Aadhaar number, the card lists their wedding date, June 22, 2017. Their photographs are followed by a QR code and a barcode, which adds to their creativity.

Such creative wedding invitations depict the growing trend of personalization and humor in modern wedding celebrations. Whether it is an Aadhaar card or a gadget, these new cards are rewriting tradition and giving the special day an unforgettable feel.

Some social media users raised concerns about the symbolism of violence, referring to the machine gun from Animal as a troubling symbol for a wedding celebration. “Shaadi or war?” one comment read, while others humorously suggested, “Are the guests hostages?”

Critics and Comedy: The Internet Roasts the Wedding Entry

The comments section was flooded with humorous and skeptical reactions. Many questioned the logic behind choosing a character from a movie known for its themes of revenge and violence. One user asked, “Why would anyone with a brain do this?” Another comment took aim at the film‘s darker themes, remarking, “What! Why would you become a character that killed people for revenge/power?”

The third person termed it as “the influence of poor film.” Although most people laughed at the drama, some people could not understand the importance of all that drama in a loving wedding ceremony.

Not Alone in Over-the-Top Wedding Entrances

This viral incident of a wedding entrance is no first; earlier, a bride and her father became viral for getting to their ceremony inside a moving chandelier, one that also went viral, but not without many mixed reviews online. Whether these moments are fun and memorable orsubtract from the authenticity of the wedding is at the hands of each who sees and hears about them.

While the daring entrance by the couple was certainly “wow,“ it might also be remembered for the speed at which the internet responded—both with humour and with criticism. Whether this becomes a favorite “memorable moment“ in wedding history or fades into an awkward viral trend, one thing is for sure: creativity and controversy are sometimes on the same thin line, especially when the internet is paying attention.

The most exciting part of the celebrations was when Shah Rukh led a fun session with the bride and groom, as his song ‘Main Agar Kahoon’ from ‘Om Shanti Om’ played in the background. Guests also witnessed SRK dancing to his hits ‘Pretty Woman’ and ‘Jhoome Jo Pathaan’, with the bride joining him for ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’ and SRK dancing solo to ‘Pathaan’s’ upbeat track. The moment wrapped up with him performing ‘Gerua’ from ‘Dilwale’.

Couple’s Hilarious Wedding Vow Rap Battle Goes Viral | WATCH

December 4, 2024, 5:49 pm

While most couples go the traditional way of exchanging vows, Aaron and Rebel Sawyer, a musical duo, had other plans. At the altar, they put on a rap battle. And to the surprise of their guests, they were seen holding hands and exchanging vows in a rhythmic lyrical manner in a now viral video.

The video starts with the bride, wearing a white gown, in front of the groom wearing a white unbuttoned shirt and very loose pants. When the song begins to play, Rebel raps her vows, saying, “Aaron Sawyer, do you want something real?” She continues by pointing out their connection on a spiritual level with lines such as: “You elevate my vibe; I am down to give you everything. My service comes in full supply.”

Aaron takes the microphone and begins his vows, rapping, “Remember when I swore devotion, psilocybin our brains wide open,” referencing the psychedelic compound psilocybin. The bride and groom sway to the music, the groom rapping and dancing over the bride, while some guests at the wedding watch silently with mask-like faces.

Take a look at the viral video:

Sharing the moment on Facebook, Rebel wrote that the performance was, “When you are soulmates and collaborators, even your wedding vows turn into a lyrical masterpiece. This is part two of the love we spit on our big day.”

The officiant couldn’t help but lighten the mood saying, “Wow. Weddings will never be the same,” before the couple went on with the ceremony. The guests applauded in appreciation of the performance.

However, reactions on social media were mixed after the video was shared on X by a user who found it on TikTok. It managed to get over 700,000 views, with most users expressing secondhand embarrassment. One user commented, “Not gonna lie, I got secondhand embarrassment.” Another wrote, “My lungs hurt. I am laughing so hard. This is so cringe.” A third user remarked, “Watched this on mute cause I already know what it’s going to sound like. Comments confirm I made the right choice.”

Regardless of what people have to say, Aaron and Rebel’s weird promises are certainly memorable.

A wedding ceremony video has sparked an outcry as it appears to make eye-watering dowries of Rs 2.56 crore, among much else in cash, while marrying the daughter off at these different rituals. The footage surfaced after reportedly being filmed near a resort on Meerut-Delhi-Dehradun Highway was shared widely on social media sites.

Amount of Dowry and Ritual Payments Shocked

The video, which has gone highly viral, captures the shocking moment when Rs 2.56 crore in cash is handed over as dowry to the bride in a suitcase.

Besides the shocking dowry, another ritual payment gained people’s attention. As for the video, a payment of Rs 11 lakh is made as part of a playful “shoe-snatching” tradition that allows the bride’s team to take the groom’s shoes, which he has to purchase back for a fixed price. Many people, including those who took part in the exchange, were shocked by the scale of the payment, and it has fuelled the conversation around dowry practices in modern society.

Public Reactions and Online Debate

As the video went viral all over social media, it soon became a subject of polar opinions. Some viewers condemned the ridiculous sums, saying that such things just perpetuate outdated societal norms that are harmful. While others took a more lenient view, considering the affair as a personal choice matter of the families involved.

The controversy surrounding the video has reignited discussions about whether dowry practices, though illegal, are still practiced and considered somewhat unethical. It has, in addition, raised questions related to societal pressures that continue influencing traditional wedding customs.

A Growing Conversation on Social Media

This has generated a stormy conversation on social networking sites where users have made their opinions known and worried over the expenditure of huge amounts in dowry and other ceremonies. Even some requested that people be more enlightened about how dowry is injurious to social growth.

The video appears to have hit the right nerve as it seems to depict the intricacies and paradoxes of Indian marriage culture today.

‘Drunk’ Wedding Guest Beaten After Being Mistaken for Thief | WATCH

November 30, 2024, 2:53 pm

In Uttar Pradesh’s Deoria, a man, reportedly intoxicated, became disoriented and wandered off from a wedding procession, ultimately knocking on the door of a house. The wedding procession, which had started from Gorakhpur on Wednesday night, was nearing a local marriage hall in Tarkulwa village when the guest lost his way. His presence in the area led to suspicions, with locals mistakenly believing he was a thief.

When he knocked on a house’s door, people screamed in alarm, warning others of a potential thief. The confusion may have stemmed from a recent theft in the village. Villagers quickly apprehended him, and the man was beaten with kicks and punches before it was realized that he had been misidentified.

A video of the incident, shared by UttarPradesh.ORG News, shows the man being tied to an electric pole as the mob continued to beat him. Shockingly, bystanders filmed the scene but did nothing to clarify the man’s identity or intentions. The police were soon alerted, and the man, injured from the assault, was treated and returned to his family.

Bride Waits, Market Doesn’t: Groom Checks Stocks Before Tying the Knot

November 29, 2024, 12:57 pm

As wedding season continues, social media is flooded with wedding videos, from joyous couple dances to unexpected mishaps. Among these, a recent video has gone viral for a surprising twist, showcasing a groom focused on something entirely unrelated to his big day.

The Viral Video Takes Over

The video captures a groom seated at the mandap, moments before his wedding ceremony. Dressed in a stunning sherwani, he appears to be deeply engrossed in his phone. However, it’s not a heartfelt message or last-minute wedding detail occupying his attention—it’s his trading dashboard.

Secretly recorded, the video zooms in to reveal the groom monitoring stock market fluctuations, even as the ceremony is about to begin. His intense focus on the trades rather than the event itself has amused millions online.

Social Media Reaction

The video, shared on Instagram by @tradingleo.in, has garnered over 12.4 million views and nearly 4 lakh likes. The caption humorously reads, “POV: You are about to get married but your mind is on open trade positions.”

Viewers flooded the post with witty comments. One person joked, “Only actual traders can comprehend this.” Another quipped, “Wedding is temporary and trading is eternal.” Yet another chimed in, “Once a trader, always a trader.”

Wedding videos often capture unforgettable moments, but this one stands out for the groom’s unique prioritization of the stock market on what is supposed to be the most significant day of his life. While some found the clip relatable, others couldn’t stop laughing at the unexpected scenario.

This lighthearted moment reminds us of the unpredictability of weddings, proving once again why such videos continue to captivate audiences online.

Wedding Guests Fight Over Non-Veg Food Instead of Veg | Watch

November 27, 2024, 1:33 pm

As wedding season continues, guests are eager to celebrate their loved ones’ unions and indulge in the delicious food. Among the diverse spread of dishes, food at weddings often becomes a highlight. A recent viral Instagram video captured the stark contrast between non-vegetarian and vegetarian food counters, showing how non-veg items are the overwhelming favorite.

The video shows a chaotic scene near the non-vegetarian food stall, where guests jostle and push each other, plates in hand, to get their share. They reach out to the waiters, demanding to be served first. Some guests even take matters into their own hands, snatching dishes directly from the trays. The waiters can barely keep up with the crowd. The sight of guests fighting over chicken tikkas, kebabs, and other non-veg items shows just how much demand there is.

Meanwhile, at the vegetarian counter, the situation couldn’t be more different. With hardly any customers, waiters are seen tending to fried pakodas and aloo tikkis while casually fending off flies. Their disinterest is evident, illustrating that when non-veg options are available, vegetarian food often takes a backseat. This wedding video, full of chaotic humor, highlights the strong preference for meat at festive occasions.

‘Sharma Ji ka Ladka Weds Verma Ji ki Ladki’: Mock Wedding Invite Goes Viral

November 26, 2024, 5:52 pm

From quirky portmanteau hashtags blending the bride and groom’s names to convoluted maps that confuse guests, Indian wedding invitations have become the latest subject of online humor. These recurring clichés have been widely mocked, with one satirical post on X (formerly Twitter) nailing the absurdities of elaborate Indian weddings.

A Viral Mock Invitation

The viral wedding invite takes a jab at pretentious ceremonies, humorously exposing their extravagant yet relatable quirks. “We spent so much [on this wedding]. Just look at this extravagant card. We’re no less than the Ambanis.”

Details of the Invitation

“Sharma Ji ka ladka (yahan bhi tumse aage) weds Verma Ji ki ladki (which explains the ridiculous hashtag) #ShaVerma.”

And the best invitation award goes to… pic.twitter.com/nGapotRUif

— Susmita (@shhuushhh_) November 25, 2024

It hilariously acknowledges common realities, such as the fact that the same day will see 22,000 other weddings, leading to massive traffic jams. Adding to the chaos, the venue is likely to host up to five unrelated weddings simultaneously.

Highlighting the over-the-top nature of such events, the invitation reads:
“If Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh can have six events, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas had eight, then we’d also host at least three receptions.”

“We request the honour of your gracious presence only to be asked ‘beta aap kab karoge’ by all your relatives?”

The scheduled start time is noted as 7 PM, though it cheekily admits the host family will show up at 8:30 PM.

Iconic Clichés of Modern Invites

The last page features a map with a “useless” landmark and mentions two venues unrelated to the wedding. It also notes that the whiskey served comes from an Army canteen, bought by “Mintu’s father.”

Interestingly, the invitation itself is an e-invite, likely designed using Canva, reflecting current trends in wedding announcements. As digital invites have become more popular, so have these clichéd elements that invite satire.

The Big Fat Indian Wedding Industry

With the 2024 wedding season expected to host 48 lakh weddings, generating approximately Rs. 6 lakh crore in spending, the humor surrounding these trends offers a lighthearted take on the cultural extravagance of Indian weddings.

Bride Cancels Wedding In UP After Discovering Groom’s Actual Job

November 26, 2024, 12:45 pm

In Uttar Pradesh’s Farrukhabad district, a wedding was abruptly called off after the bride discovered a startling truth about her groom. Following the Jaimala (garland exchange ceremony), the bride learned that the groom was employed in the private sector rather than holding a government job as she had been led to believe. This revelation prompted her to halt the wedding rituals, leaving both families stunned.

The marriage had been arranged with an engineer from Balrampur, Chhattisgarh. An intermediary informed the bride’s family that the groom’s family resided in rented accommodation in Kannauj and described the groom as a government engineer who owned six plots of land and 20 bighas of agricultural land. The wedding proceedings began with the Dwarchar ritual and continued late into the night with the Jaimala ceremony.

At around 12:45 a.m., the bride discovered the truth about the groom’s job. She refused to continue the marriage, stating she could not marry someone employed in the private sector. Her firm stance surprised both families, who tried to persuade her to reconsider. “I was assured he had a government job,” the bride reportedly said.

In an effort to resolve the situation, the groom contacted his employer and obtained his payslip, which he presented to the bride’s family. The document confirmed a monthly salary of Rs 1,20,000, but the bride remained resolute in her decision to call off the wedding.

As the dispute escalated, both families decided to settle the financial aspects of the wedding. The expenses were divided amicably, and the groom left without the bride later that day. Despite their efforts, the bride’s determination to cancel the wedding over the groom’s job status marked the abrupt end of the event.
