婚禮上新郎失蹤 賓客自告奮勇娶新娘

When a groom in India failed to show up for his wedding this week, a guest stepped up to marry the bride instead.
本週一位印度新郎在婚禮上玩失蹤，一名參加婚禮的賓客挺身而出娶了新娘。

P. Ponradha, 23 was set to be married to J. Sithiraivelu, 35, on Wednesday in the Tamil Nadu town of Lakshmimanagaram, according to The Star's translation of Tamil daily newspaper Malaysia Nanban.
根據《星報》對泰米爾地區日報《馬來西亞南班》的翻譯，新郎是23歲的Ponradha，來自泰米爾納德邦的Lakshmimanagaram小鎮，原定在本週三和35歲的新娘Sithiraivelu結婚。

The festivities were already starting on Tuesday evening when the bride's family learned the groom had vanished after an argument with his family. According to the Times of India, "the bride's family went into a frenzy, as a stopped marriage would affect the girl's future."
婚禮慶祝儀式從週二晚上就開始了，但新娘的家人卻得知新郎在跟家人吵架後就玩失蹤了。根據《印度時報》的報道，“這個消息讓新娘的家人暴怒，因爲在印度，臨時取消婚禮會影響女孩的名聲和前途。”

The frenzy subsided, however, when a second man, 30-year-old relative of the bride named Sivakumar, volunteered to marry her instead. From the Times:
萬幸的是有一位參加婚禮的賓客，30歲的女方親戚Sivakumar 自告奮勇站出來，表示願意娶新娘。根據《印度時報》的報道：

The wedding then took place as per the schedule, much to the relief of the family. The other guests who had come there also congratulated and appreciated Sivakumar for his timely gesture.
婚禮按照原計劃進行，也讓新娘的家人鬆了口氣，其他的參加婚禮的賓客也對Sivakumar 及時的挺身而出表示了祝賀和欣賞。
