Tedhe Samachaar ki Seedhi Baat
- Flight cancel → couple venue nahi pahunch paaye
- Guests, stage, cake — sab ready… par dulha-dulhan missing
- Solution: virtual reception on big screen
- Parents ne stage sambhala, couple ne ghar se join kiya
- Social media ne incident ko “peak Indian jugaad wedding” declare kar diya
ISS RECEPTION ka sabse bada twist yeh tha ki dulha-dulhan stage pe nahi, projector pe aaye. Flight cancellation for this couple did not mean shaadi cancellation. And hence dulha aur dulhan ne zoom link se join kiya apni hi shaadi ka function. Work from home toh suna tha but guests ne pehli baar maza liya shaadi from home ke function ka.
Shaadi ka reception hota hai taaki sab log dulha-dulhan ko dekhen… yahan dulha-dulhan khud apni hi party screen pe dekh rahe the. Airport pe suit-lehenga pehne hue, dono bas ek hi cheez soch rahe the — “saare dino mein se aaj hi flight cancel honi thi?” Jab guests venue pe jam ke baithe the, couple Wi-Fi pe latak kar virtual namaste kar raha tha. Air port pe kai saare rom-coms ke climax toh dekhe the par aaj airport ki wajah se com-marriage dekhne ko mil gayi.
Flight cancel hote hi couple ka plan hil gaya. Guests venue pahunch chuke the, parents stage decorate karwa chuke the… aur dulha-dulhan Bangalore airport pe stranded. Solution mila: big screen + video call = reception saved.
Parents ne stage par couple ki jagah pose kiya, aur saare guests ne camera pe phool barsaye. Waise jitni blessings couples ko milni chahiye thi, utni Wi-Fi router ko mil gayi.
Couple ne airport lounge ko fashion ramp bana diya: dulha blazer mein, dulhan reception-ready makeup ke saath boarding gate ke niche. Guests shock ho rahe the, aur relative #104 ne bola: "itne kharche mein toh private jet aa jaata"
Social media ne declare kiya —
“Shaadi cancel nahi hoti… bas convert ho jaati hai.”
Kisi ne bola: “Digital India ka asli reception.”
Kisi ne likha: “At least khana garam tha.”
Ek uncle type user ne comment maara: “Wi-Fi aur shaadi dono ka signal strong hai.”
