Bareilly, December 1: In a bizarre incident, a young woman cancelled her wedding after the groom kissed her on stage in front of nearly 300 guests on Tuesday night. The intriguing incident occurred during a wedding ceremony in the Sambhal region of Uttar Pradesh. The groom is alleged to have kissed the bride in front of everyone after the garland ceremony, when the bride and groom were seated next to one other on stage.
