Weird Wide Web - Woman marries the wrong groom─── 15:08 Fri, 13 May 2022
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.
Instead of cancelling and reorganising the wedding, the dad ploughed on and one daughter named Nikita accidentally "swapped" grooms with her sister and ended up marrying the wrong man. The unusual incident came to light after a local report went viral on social media, then a wedding guest spoke to The Independent.

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.
