A cross-cultural wedding moment has taken social media by storm after a video of a varmala ceremony going hilariously wrong went viral on Instagram, racking up over 2 million views in under 24 hours.

by event management company Weddings by Ekta Saigal Lulla, the clip has left viewers laughing, thanks to a perfectly timed mix-up involving two young children and a traditional Hindu ritual.
What went wrong at this wedding?
The viral video appears to be from a cross-cultural wedding taking place at the Alila Fort Bishangarh with an Indian-origin groom and a foreign bride (Shubh & Liza). Two young children, seemingly not familiar with Indian wedding customs, were assigned the task of carrying the garlands to the couple, similar to ring bearers in Christian weddings.
However, instead of handing the garlands to the bride and groom, the children innocently placed the varmalas around their necks. The confusion instantly drew laughter from guests, but the moment reached peak comedy when a flower petal shower, clearly timed for the couple, rained down seconds later, despite the ritual not going as planned.
Internet can’t stop laughing
The clip quickly gained traction on Instagram, with millions of viewers enjoying the spontaneous blunder. Social media users flooded the comments with jokes and theories.
