In a bizarre twist of fate, an Iranian groom found himself inadvertently hitched to a complete stranger on his wedding day. The ceremony, which was supposed to be the happiest day of his life, took an unexpected turn when a mix-up at the venue led to him saying ‘I do’ to the wrong bride.
The groom, whose identity remains undisclosed for privacy reasons, was supposed to marry his childhood sweetheart in a traditional ceremony. However, due to an overbooked schedule, the venue accidentally swapped the brides. The error went unnoticed as the veiled bride approached the altar, and the groom, overwhelmed with emotion, failed to realize he was holding hands with someone else.
It wasn’t until the officiant asked the bride to lift her veil for the customary first kiss that the groom realized the mix-up. The real bride, waiting in the adjacent hall, was equally shocked to find herself facing another groom.
The incident, while initially causing a stir among the families, was resolved amicably. The venue offered a complimentary honeymoon package to both couples as compensation for the mix-up. The groom, now happily married to his intended bride, jokes that he’s the only man who can say he got married twice in one day—both times unintentionally.
The story has since gone viral, with netizens finding humor in the groom’s accidental double dip into matrimony. The couple has taken the incident in stride, stating that it will be an anecdote for the grandkids and a testament to their commitment to each other—no matter the mix-up.
