Trivial Reason Triggers High Voltage Drama, Wedding Called off
Daijiworld Media Network – Bangalore (VA)
Bangalore, Mar 10: Here's something straight out of a saas-bahu TV serial. A wedding was cancelled amidst an uproar from dissenting relatives just as the groom was about to tie the mangalsutra, only this time, it was not a soap opera but a true-life incident.
A high voltage drama over a trivial reason of not booking an air-conditioned room for the groom’s family members resulted in the cancellation of what would have been a grand wedding at Sadashiv Nagar here on Tuesday Mach 8.
It was the girl who boldly called off the wedding after being disgusted with the attitude of the groom and his family members.
Dr Shwetha and Dr Amit, both from the city, were all set to tie the knot and the wedding arrangements were made at a cost of Rs 20 lac. All the rituals of the wedding were almost over and the groom was about to tie the mangalsutra to the bride.
Just then, in a truly melodramatic style that one so often witnesses in a typical saas-bahu kind of serial, they were interrupted by the groom’s family members, who created a scene in the hall for not being provided an air-conditioned room for their stay. The bride’s side tried their best to convince the groom’s party who were adamant and refused to be appeased with any of their pleas.
Irked with their attitude, Dr Shwetha boldly announced she would not marry the man under any circumstance. She questioned before the gathering, "How would his family look after me once we are married, when they show this kind of attitude on the wedding day itself?"
The bride’s family had to call the police when Dr Amit’s family members continued their argument. The Basaweshwara police arrived at the venue and brought the situation under control.
The groom was already given 1 lac in cash and ornaments by the bride’s family members. Definitely, it was one 'wedding' the guests would not easily forget!
