A newlywed couple found themselves attending their own wedding reception from afar when a last-minute flight cancellation thwarted their travel plans.

Despite the absence of the bride and groom, the bride’s family opted to proceed with the celebration, as the venue was already beautifully decorated and everything was set in motion.

To bridge the distance, the couple joined the festivities virtually, appearing live on a large screen, allowing them to engage with their guests from hundreds of miles away.

This unique event unfolded on December 3 in Hubballi, located in Karnataka, India.

Medha Ksheera Sagar and Sangama Das were all smiles as they communicated with attendees, creating an atmosphere as lively as if they were physically present.

The video-link wedding reception was caused when their IndiGo flight was canceled. 

It prevented friends and family – who were traveling via Mumbai – from reaching Hubballi in time for the celebration. 

With guests already arriving and the event fully prepared, the bride’s parents took to the stage to represent the couple. 

Medha and Sangama joined via video call, greeting attendees and even participating in some rituals remotely.  

For Medha and Sangama, the reception became a unique mix of tradition and technology they would have never expected. 

The family ensured that the evening remained festive and meaningful, turning a potential disaster into a digital celebration in the face of last-minute chaos.
