NEW DELHI: Sometimes you just cannot trust google maps blindly and could be fatal if not physically, at least a life-changing one.

One such instance is one family of a groom in Indonesia, who turned up at the wrong venue on the day of his wedding.

According to a report in Tribune News, there were two ceremonies – a wedding and an engagement – in the same village which led to the confusion. The report added that the bride was initially unaware of the situation as she was busy getting ready with her make-up artist.Read more

The video from the ceremony went viral, which showed the family leaving the premise in an awkward position with many gifts.

Reportedly, the man's wedding party took guidance on Google Maps to find their way to his wedding location Losari Hamlet of Pakis District in central Java.

However, instead of their intended address, his family turned up in Jengkol Hamlet, which is located not far from Losari Hamlet. The venue was of bride Maria Ulfa and her future husband Burhan Sidqi from Ringinum Village, Kendal Regency, Central Java. 

Rojak Daily reported that the group apologised and found their actual wedding venue with the help of Ulfa's family. As the story went viral, many wondered how the man himself didn't realise he was in the wrong home. However, people are glad it worked out well in the end.
