婚禮現場新郎失蹤 賓客自告奮勇娶新娘

本週一個印度新郎在婚禮上失去蹤影，於是一個賓客自告奮勇代替他與新娘結婚。

本週三，23歲的Ponradha本來打算在泰米爾納德邦嫁給35歲的Sithiraivelu。而當本週二婚禮已經準備就緒的時候，新娘的家人卻獲知新郎在與家人吵架後突然失蹤。據《印度時報》報道稱，“新娘的家人當場就抓狂了，因爲如果突然中止婚禮勢必會影響新娘的未來。”

幸好當時一名30歲男子的出現才平息了新娘家人的怒火。這名男子是新娘的親戚，名爲Sivakumar，他挺身而出自願代替新郎娶妻。

A 30-year-old man who came to witness a wedding ended up as the bridegroom in a kind gesture as the bridegroom-to-be failed to turn up to tie the knot on Wednesday.

Ponradha, 23, daughter of Palpandi of Lakshmimanagaram near Arumuganeri in Kanyakumari district was betrothed to be married to Sithiraivelu, 35, son of Jayaraman of Lakshmipuram in Kayalpattinam of the same district. The wedding was to be held on Wednesday and arrangements were on in full swing in the bride's hometown.

They had prepared to welcome the bridegroom on Tuesday evening and were awaiting his arrival when they were informed that he had gone missing. Sithiraivelu's family had claimed to the bride's family that Sitharaivelu had a quarrel with them on Monday and walked out of their home. Though they had been expecting him to come back as usual, he did not return, they had further said. Hearing this, the bride's family went into a frenzy, as a stopped marriage would affect the girl's future.

The news spread around the town of Lakshmimanagaram like a wildfire when Sivakumar, a relative of the bride who had come to take part in the wedding, agreed to marry Ponradha after his relatives persuaded him to do so. 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.
