A viral wedding card has made a hilarious joke on the typical Indian wedding clichés, offering a unique and humorous perspective on these well-known traditions. The reception invitation begins by playfully acknowledging the guest's inevitable comments about the wedding food. The bride is then introduced as “Sharma Ji ki ladki”, highlighting her academic achievements, and the groom as “Gopal Ji ka ladka”, a B.Tech graduate who now manages a shop, adding a touch of self-deprecation.
The wedding date, playfully referred to as a “holy day” chosen by three priests, is conveniently timed to coincide with the end of a relative's exams.
