Groom’s ex attempts hand-kiss, bride reacts swiftly
New Delhi: A wedding in Indonesia recently went viral after a tense moment between the bride and the groom’s alleged ex-girlfriend was captured on camera, drawing widespread attention on social media.
The dramatic event occurred during a wedding photo session on a flower-decorated stage. The groom, dressed in traditional Indonesian attire, stood beside his bride when a woman reportedly his former girlfriend approached him from the side.
In the clip, the woman can be seen slightly bowing and attempting to kiss the groom’s hand, a traditional gesture in Indonesian Muslim culture that signifies respect. While hand-kissing is common for elders or close family members, the act holds particular significance if performed by someone other than the wife.
