Airport Chaos Grounds Wedding Plans

IndiGo’s large-scale flight cancellations in December 2025 caused widespread disruption at airports across India. Thousands of passengers were left stranded due to crew-rostering challenges and regulatory issues. Long queues, soaring airfares on alternate airlines and mounting confusion defined the travel nightmare.

Amid this chaos, two wedding-related incidents caught the internet’s attention- one involving newlyweds, the other a groom racing against time.

When Love Logged In Instead of Landing

Technology stepped in when travel failed. Medha Kshirsagar and Sangam Das, software engineers based in Bengaluru, tied the knot on November 23 in Bhubaneswar. Their wedding reception was scheduled for December 3 at Gujarat Bhavan in Hubballi, where relatives had already assembled. Their journey, however, did not go as planned.

After multiple flight delays on December 2, their IndiGo flight was cancelled entirely the following morning, leaving the couple stranded far from the venue. Refusing to cancel the celebration, the family chose a modern solution.

Dressed in full wedding attire, Medha and Sangam attended their own reception virtually from Bhubaneswar, interacting with guests through video screens. What began as a logistical nightmare soon turned into a cherished memory, famously remembered as the “viral online reception.”

As news of his arrival spread, relief swept through the venue. Tears turned into smiles, cheers filled the air, and the wedding resumed with renewed enthusiasm, transforming a near-disaster into a moment of triumph.
