本周三,23岁的Ponradha本来打算在泰米尔纳德邦嫁给35岁的Sithiraivelu。而当本周二婚礼已经准备就绪的时候,新娘的家人却获知新郎在与家人吵架后突然失踪。幸好当时一名30岁男子挺身而出自愿代替新郎娶妻。
A 30-year-old man who came to witness a wedding ended up as the bridegroom in a kind gesture as the bridegroom-to-be failed to turn up to tie the knot on Wednesday.
Ponradha, 23, daughter of Palpandi of Lakshmimanagaram near Arumuganeri in Kanyakumari district was betrothed1 to(与……订婚) be married to Sithiraivelu, 35, son of Jayaraman of Lakshmipuram in Kayalpattinam of the same district. The wedding was to be held on Wednesday and arrangements were on in full swing(全力进行中) in the bride's hometown.
They had prepared to welcome the bridegroom on Tuesday evening and were awaiting his arrival when they were informed that he had gone missing. Sithiraivelu's family had claimed to the bride's family that Sitharaivelu had a quarrel with them on Monday and walked out of their home. Though they had been expecting him to come back as usual, he did not return, they had further said. Hearing this, the bride's family went into a frenzy2(狂怒), as a stopped marriage would affect the girl's future.
The news spread around the town of Lakshmimanagaram like a wildfire when Sivakumar, a relative of the bride who had come to take part in the wedding, agreed to marry Ponradha after his relatives persuaded him to do so. The wedding then took place as per(按照) the schedule, much to the relief of the family. The other guests who had come there also congratulated and appreciated Sivakumar for his timely3 gesture.
