Bhubaneswar, Nov 5: Virtual meetings on Zoom and Cloud-based Apps are common in these days though they are pre-scheduled for a program, preferably managed from remote. However, virtual wedding reception for a newlywed couple who centres & hosts the occasion is something rare and unusual.

In such an unprecedented occasion, a newly married couple from Odisha’s Bhunaneswar City, participated in own reception virtually, left stranded at the Bengaluru Airport. It was due to cancellation of the IndiGo flights, they had booked earlier, to fly for the reception spot organized at Hubballi.

The newlyweds are identified as Sangama Das & Medha Krishnasagar.

The couple, both employed in an IT company in Bengaluru, tied the knot on November 23 in Bhubaneswar. The bride, Sangama Das from Bhubaneswar, married Medha Krishnasagar, who hails from Hubballi.

Following their wedding, preparations were made for a grand reception on December 3 at Hubballi, where friends, relatives, and well-wishers were eagerly awaiting the couple’s presence.

However, both were stranded at Bengaluru airport as their scheduled flight was at once cancelled with no clues to the passengers.

Following this, the couple frantically searched for alternative fligts to the destination, but in vain. Meanwhile, the party time approached and relatives, guests and coveted invitees gathered at the convention to shower wishes & blessing to the newlywed.

Getting no further option out, the couple went online on Zoom and stayed connected with the family & friends. Meanwhile, the social function turned a virtual official party wherein the techie couple, extended their warm welcomes to the attendees.
