Viral: Groom wears only a pair of shorts to his wedding, here's why

Everyone wants to look their best on their most special day that is their wedding day. People wear beautiful and elegant clothes, apply makeup, wear heavy jewellery and do every possible thing to stand out. But here's a story that will surprise you as it breaks all traditional norms.

Recently, some pictures of a young couple from the East Java region of Indonesia went viral on Twitter, where the groom is seen wearing just a pair of shorts on his wedding day. Surprisingly, the bride is all decked up in traditional Javanese wedding attire and looks like a doll. 

While the bride is seen donning a heavy, traditional Javanese dress, the groom is seen sitting in red shorts, with a sling attached to his right arms, and several parts of his body are seen bandaged. The photos of the couple were posted on Twitter by a user named @br0wski. This has gone viral on Twitter ever since and people are now curious to know what really happened.

As per media reports, the bride named Elinda Dwi Kristiani married Suprapto on April 2 at her residence in the Lengkong area, Nganjuk Regency, East Java. Reports suggest just four days prior to their wedding, Suprapto met with an accident. While on his way to buy petrol, he suddenly lost his consciousness and fell off the bike injuring himself gravely.

According to the bride, Suprapto was unable to wear his wedding attire on the marriage day because he had just undergone shoulder surgery because of the injury. This prompted him to get married not in his wedding attire but in shorts.

As soon as the pictures were shared on social media they went viral and this story has been retweeted more than 3000 times, with hundreds of comments pouring in - some funny, some with praises.

One user joked, "Maybe this is what is called being married by accident." Many also praised him for showing up at the wedding despite being injured.
