After her to be husband had an epileptic fit at the wedding ceremony, the bride Indira, angry that her family had not been informed about the groom Kishore's medical condition, changed her mind about marrying him. Instead the bride announced that she would marry another guest at the same ceremony - who turned out to be her sister's brother-in-law, Harpal Singh.[caption id="attachment_2094479" align="alignleft" width="380"]Representational image.

AFP[/caption]The bride was clearly not ready to go through with her vow of being together "in sickness and in health", according to the Times of India report.This wedding however went off without a hitch all while the original groom completely unaware his bride was literally slipping through his fingers was being tended to by doctors.Kishore after he recovered from his epileptic fit, returned to the venue only to find his beloved married to someone else. Kishore had reportedly pleaded with her to return to him and his relatives, had also tried and failed to intervene on his behalf.But this is hardly a standalone incident. Here are other bizarre reasons why India Weddings have been called off:Wedding called off due to chicken biryaniA wedding was called off in Bangalore after the families of the bride and the groom failed to agree on the kind of biryani that was to be served at the wedding - while the bride's family preferred chicken, the groom's wouldn't have anything but mutton biryani.The Hindu reports: "It all started when the girl’s family prepared 30 kg of chicken biryani and sent it to the groom’s side. The groom’s family was upset as they do not eat chicken. The issue was resolved soon. However, it was brought up again at the wedding on Sunday night where it got blown out of proportion."Bride's family calls off wedding after bhabhi kisses groomAccording to reports, a wedding ceremony in Aligarh was called off just because the groom was kissed by his brother's wife in public.The groom and the bride had met each other on social media and fell in love. During the wedding, the groom's sister in law kissed him the moment he greeted the bride and then proceeded to drag him to the dance floor where she demanded he shake a leg.However this behaviour was not acceptable by the bride's family and they called off the wedding.Groom elopes with another woman a day before the weddingThe Times of India reports that the 27-year-old groom's change of heart was discovered after he failed to return home the day before the wedding.He had left home to deliver wedding cards but did not return, leaving both his and his bride-to-be's families distraught. They were later told that he had eloped with another girl.
