A social media user sparked amusement by sharing a photo of an engagement ceremony where the couple opted for online food delivery instead of traditional catering services. Susmita, the user, captured a Swiggy delivery person placing plastic food containers on a table inside a tent, prompting her to express her bewilderment on X (formerly Twitter). Her post, accompanied by the caption, “They ordered food online for an engagement ceremony?? Bhai I have seen everything,” triggered a deluge of humorous responses.
Many users took to the platform to share memes, playfully commenting on the caterers’ potential reactions to this unexpected trend. One meme depicted a caterer company owner with a caption suggesting an atmosphere of terror, while another showed a caterer looking distressed.
Users further amplified the hilarity with comments such as, “Food delivery at its best” and “Every halwai (confectioner) after watching this: Aapne to humara kaam hi chheen lia (You took away my job).” Another user added, “Halwayi after seeing this: Hum kuchh nahi bata sakte, hum dispression me hain (I can’t see anything. I’m depressed.).”
The post also sparked discussions about the potential cost-cutting aspect of online ordering and its potential impact on wedding traditions. One user humorously suggested that the couple would likely use Uber for the baraat (wedding procession) and YouTube tutorials for the sangeet (wedding dance performance). Others speculated that the couple might have even ordered puja items (worship items) from online platforms like Instamart.
The post served as a reminder of the ever-evolving nature of modern weddings, prompting a light-hearted debate about the intersection of tradition and contemporary practices.
