A wedding is always a significant event in a person’s life, and for the bride and groom – the main characters of the party on that day, everything becomes even more meaningful. In fact, no one can imagine that a wedding could be successfully organized without one of these two main characters. However, recently, the online community witnessed a bittersweet story where the groom could only stand by and watch his own wedding from afar via livestream, instead of appearing at that monumental ceremony of his life.

According to the viral video that has been making waves among netizens in recent days, the image of the groom squatting in front of the hotel – the same place where his wedding was taking place – while he could only helplessly watch through the livestream screen really touched many people. Of course, what the online community was most concerned about was the reason why this guy couldn’t appear on the most important day of his life. It turned out that the reason was surprisingly simple; it was just because the groom did not have his PCR test result.
It is known that the story took place in Xinjiang, China. According to Pu, a close friend from the groom’s side, due to the rush in preparing for the wedding party, the groom forgot that he needed to take the PCR test before entering the hotel. By the time he realized and rushed to the hospital, it was already too late. As a result, the poor groom had to sit outside watching the livestream of his own wedding ceremony. Meanwhile, inside, the bride, having waited too long, negotiated with both families and proceeded with the engagement ceremony first. Fortunately, the test results arrived just in time, and at least the groom was able to join the latter part of the wedding ceremony.

The groom also shared that, in reality, the wedding had been postponed that day. In the video online, the bride went on stage to perform the engagement ceremony with her parents, and the ceremony between him and the bride was postponed until the next day. Many might criticize the groom for smiling happily, but in reality, he was laughing helplessly. “At that moment, I was about to cry, while my friend joked to lighten the mood,” the groom shared. The bride also did not blame the groom, as the hotel regulations changed unexpectedly in a short time and also expressed that she knew her soon-to-be husband was not feeling cheerful at all. It is known that both of them are college friends and had been in love for nine years before getting married.
