The caption of the video can be translated as: "A wedding like this too! Gujarat's loving couple due to the stubbornness of the girlfriend found themselves in the valley of Spiti, where the 'mandap' (wedding pavilion) was decorated at -25°C. This stands as the first-of-its-kind case. An extraordinary marriage took place in Spiti's Murang. This is an example of a destination wedding."

Netizens' Take:
The video, shared by an official from the Himachal Pradesh government, has garnered mixed reactions. While many netizens applaud the couple's adventurous spirit and the breathtaking visuals, others expressed concerns about potential health risks associated with such extreme temperatures.
A user wrote: "All that’s fun until one guy stands up and asking for oxygen." Another critically added "Barati jabran shaheed hue inke adventure me" meaning the wedding guests got caught up in the antics of their adventure for no reason.
However, another user concerned about the cleanliness of tourist places and such destinations wrote: "Please gather all the litter and waste generated at the end of all the functions, so that someone else can also enjoy the similar moments in future!!"
