A wedding in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, turned into a big mess when the groom arrived drunk and mistakenly garlanded the bride's best friend instead of the bride. The bride, Radha Devi, 21, was so upset that she slapped the groom, called off the wedding, and left. This all happened on Saturday.

The trouble started when the groom, Ravindra Kumar, 26, came late to the wedding with his procession. According to the bride's family, the groom's family also asked for more dowry. The bride's father had already given Rs 2.5 lakh during the pre-wedding rituals and another Rs 2 lakh on the wedding day, but it wasn’t enough for the groom's family.

In another version of the story, it is said that Ravindra Kumar wanted to marry someone of his own choice. He allegedly came drunk to the wedding and behaved badly with the bride's family and guests.
