IndiGo flight cancellations force Bengaluru techie couple to attend Hubballi reception virtually

The couple had planned to fly from Bhubaneswar to Bengaluru and then to Hubballi on December 2, but their flights were delayed many times from Tuesday morning until early Wednesday. Finally, the flights were cancelled on December 3. Many relatives traveling the Bhubaneswar-Mumbai-Hubballi route also faced cancellations, leaving guests stranded and causing uncertainty about the reception.

With the event ready and guests waiting, the bride’s parents stepped in. They performed the wedding rituals for the couple, while Medha and Sangama joined the reception from Bhubaneswar through video call, wearing their wedding outfits. The couple’s presence was broadcast live on a screen for all the guests to see.

“We felt very bad as we had invited so many relatives, and cancelling at the last minute was impossible. After discussing it as a family, we decided to have the couple attend online and broadcast their participation to everyone present,” NDTV quoted the bride’s mother as saying.
