The Star reported yesterday:

A MAN failed to turn up for his wedding in Sungai Siput, Perak, leaving the bride waiting in vain at the marriage dais.

Relatives and friends who were invited to the wedding at a temple last Sunday were saddened to see the dejected bride waiting for the man to appear, Tamil Nesan said.

However, all was not lost.

The parents of the bride, upon realising that the marriage of their eldest daughter was not going to proceed decided to do something.

So they conducted the marriage of their second daughter with her boyfriend who was present at the ceremony.
