Netizens love a couple’s financial market-themed wedding invitation

couple's financial market-themed

Nowadays, wedding invitations are unusual. Couples prefer to utilise hashtags, and add their own personal touches, images, and other elements to make it particularly memorable. While these things are frequent nowadays, have you ever seen a wedding invitation that was inspired by the financial market? Doesn’t that sound a little surprising?

This unusual wedding invitation can be seen in a photograph uploaded by the Instagram feed @stockmarketindia. On the invitation, the bride and groom are listed as Dr Sandesh Medicine Ltd and Dr Divya Anaesthesia Ltd. “Invitation of Precious Occasion” is a pun on the phrase “Initial Public Offering” (IPO). “Given the synergies of the merger, the merged entities shall be listed in compliance with the regulatory norms (Hindu tradition),” the card states.

Friends and family are called “retail investors,” and the wedding is called a “listing ceremony.” Several of the event’s rituals were also given a stock market twist.

This photo was shared a few hours ago. It has received 5000 likes and numerous comments since it was uploaded.

“My mind was dizzy after reading this,” one individual commented on Instagram. Another individual remarked, “Good one. next level stock market craze.” “This is an interesting wedding card I have ever seen,” a third individual wrote.

  • Payal Rohatgi is due to marry her fiancé and Sangram Singh in July.
  • She has confirmed that she will also invite Kangana Ranaut to her wedding.
  • Payal chastised Kangana for choosing Munawar Faruqui as Lock Upp’s winner.

Payal Rohatgi, a Lock Upp competitor, is due to marry her fiancé and Sangram Singh in July, and despite their recent feud, she would invite Kangana Ranaut. Payal had posted the wedding invitation on Facebook. She stated that the wedding will be a “low-key destination” affair in Agra.

The wedding, which will take place on July 9, will be attended only by the bride and groom’s families. Payal and Sangram will throw a reception party in Delhi on July 14 following their wedding. She has confirmed that she will also invite Kangana Ranaut.

When asked if she plans to invite the actor to her wedding, Payal told in her interview, “I will obviously make sure that I send the invite to her sister Rangoli and if she is in Delhi, would love to see her at the reception. She is kind and I am kind. It’s a good occasion and we should let bygones be bygones.”

She further claimed that the actor was hostile to her at the Dhaakad launch event, just days after Payal penned a nasty note about her. She also mentioned Kangana’s last film Dhaakad’s low box office performance.
