Not to mention the big life step that you are essentially undertaking on this auspicious day.
So, it is understandable that sometimes one might experience some anxiety or as the saying goes, 'cold feet'.
But one groom made the bold and not-so-kind decision to leave his bride at the altar.
An Indonesian bride who was left at her wedding without her groom was forced to engage in a union with an unlikely partner.
"According to Tribun Trends, because the invited guests had already arrived, the family was compelled to continue the marriage with the groom's father standing in for his son." (MSN)

"The lover, or the bridegroom, named Isra... He was forced to be represented by his father because he ran away before the Ijab Kabul (kabul is the consent given by the bride's family at the wedding ceremony). It is important in Islam,” reported Tribun Trends.
We can agree that it is not the most ideal of circumstances. Starting off one of the biggest days of your life with marrying the man who would've been your father-in-law sounds like something that would happen in a Telenovela.
What's worse is that the brother of the bride reported that the couple had been in a relationship for a long time before the wedding, which somehow makes us feel worse for the bride...
