A power cut in India caused confusion and a bride married the wrong groom, leaving everyone 'humiliated' by the mishap.

Reported on mirror.co.uk, it turns out that a woman was left 'humiliated' after marrying the wrong man after a power cut put out all the lights at their wedding ceremony.  The bizarre mix-up occurred as the dad, Rameshlal Railot, based in the Madhya Pradesh state in India, arranged for his son and three daughters to all get married on the same day - and all the women wore the same type of dress.  Their faces were also covered with a veil, in keeping with local traditions, and when they went to the pre-wedding function there was a power cut and the service was thrown into disarray.

They said that Nikita was due to marry a man named Bhola, but ended up bagging her sister Karishma's groom-to-be, Ganesh.

An uncle of the bride said one woman did indeed marry the wrong man due to a power failure, the latter event which he described as a regular occurrence in the village. Read more on this very weird wedding mix-up by clicking here.
