Foreign friends mistakenly joined wedding pheras, holding the bride’s lehenga, sparking laughter online.
A light hearted moment from an Indian wedding has gone viral after the bride’s foreign friends accidentally joined a sacred ritual, leaving social media users amused and delighted.
Friends misread the ritual
The clip, shared on Instagram by Kanishka Chaudhary, shows her dressed in traditional bridal attire as she walks the pheras with her groom. As the couple circles the sacred fire, three of the bride’s foreign friends are seen innocently walking alongside her, carefully holding the lehenga.
Unaware that the ritual was meant only for the bride and groom, the friends continued walking until laughter erupted in the background. Guests were heard asking them not to walk with the couple. Realising the mix up, the bride and groom burst into laughter, while the friends stepped aside.
