A wedding in UP was called off over a missing “dancing gorilla” in the baaraat! What started as a joke turned into a family dispute, leaving the groom sweating under his sehra while the bride’s relatives called off the ceremony.
The bride’s mother considered the incident a “bad omen.”
Lucknow: A wedding in Uttar Pradesh was unexpectedly called off over a most unusual dispute- an absent dancing gorilla. According to a viral Instagram post, the bride’s family cancelled the marriage after the groom failed to bring a man dressed as a gorilla to perform during the baaraat, turning what was meant to be a light-hearted jest into a full-blown conflict.
The bizarre incident reportedly began weeks before the wedding, when a member of the bride’s family jokingly requested a “dancing gorilla” to entertain guests. The groom, taking the comment seriously, allegedly assured the bride’s family that he would arrange for the gorilla to be present on the wedding day. This promise created anticipation among the bride’s relatives, who expected a one-of-a-kind spectacle.

On the day of the wedding, everything seemed to be in place decorations, music, and the groom’s baaraat but the dancing gorilla failed to appear. Initially, the bride’s family assumed the performer might be delayed or was preparing for a grand entry. As minutes passed without any sign of the gorilla, they grew concerned and questioned the groom about the missing entertainer.
The groom reportedly explained that the vendor had cancelled at the last minute. This revelation triggered a major argument between the families. The bride’s mother declared the incident a “bad omen,” while her father accused the groom of misleading them. Despite the groom’s attempts to explain the situation, tensions escalated, ultimately leading to the wedding being called off.
