IndiGo’s wave of cancellations this week stranded thousands of travellers, but the disruption hit brides and grooms especially hard. One couple had to attend their own wedding reception through a video call, several others scrambled to rearrange ceremonies, and one family even resorted to booking an expensive charter flight.

Amid these stories, a viral video showed a groom cheerfully holding up his wedding invitation to fellow passengers as he explained that the airline chaos was preventing him from getting to the ceremony. Responding to others stressed about delays, he said, “I am missing my own wedding.”

Sharing the video, an X handle @NewsAlgebraIND, wrote, “Pain behind the laugh. MAN: “It’s my own wedding… and I can’t even go. What do I do, yaar?”

The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) Saturday released an order requiring all airlines to adhere to the prescribed fare caps strictly. Despite this, passengers were stunned by the ticket prices.

In its directive, MoCA stated, “These caps will remain in force until the situation fully stabilises. The objective of this directive is to maintain pricing discipline in the market, prevent any exploitation of passengers in distress, and ensure that citizens who urgently need to travel — including senior citizens, students, and patients — are not subjected to financial hardship during this period.”
