Wedding clashes are increasingly making headlines, with incidents and viral videos depicting families engaged in heated disputes over issues ranging from food shortages to specific grievances like missing chicken in biryani. A recent example from Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh, highlights this trend vividly. During a wedding ceremony, tensions escalated dramatically when a shortage of food sparked a violent brawl between the bride’s and groom’s families. The altercation quickly intensified, with individuals resorting to using sticks and chairs as weapons.
In a widely circulated video, several men are seen throwing chairs and engaging in physical confrontations. The food shortage triggered such a severe conflict that numerous attendees sustained minor injuries amidst the chaos of flying furniture and physical altercations.

According to ABP News, a dispute erupted during a wedding in Firozabad when the groom’s family, led by the groom, allegedly demanded additional money from the bride’s family due to a food shortage. Despite initially providing some money, tensions escalated when the groom’s family insisted on an additional Rs. 1 lakh, sparking a violent altercation. Both sides resorted to using sticks and rods, as captured in the widely circulated video footage.
The situation deteriorated to the extent that the wedding was called off. The bride’s family decided to take her home without completing the marriage ceremony, marking a tragic conclusion to the event.
Interestingly, this incident is not an isolated case. Recently in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, another wedding turned chaotic when guests discovered that the biryani served lacked chicken leg pieces. What began with a simple complaint quickly escalated into a chaotic brawl, with viral videos showing guests involved in physical altercations, including kicking, punching, and throwing chairs. Reports suggest that even the groom became involved, escalating tensions further and turning what was meant to be a celebration into chaos as both families clashed.
These incidents highlight a troubling trend where the harmony and happiness of weddings are marred by disputes over trivial matters. As these stories gain traction online, they serve as a reminder that weddings should focus on uniting and celebrating two families, rather than fixating on the perfection of the feast.
