Weddings in India are known for rituals that have been followed for centuries, and one of the most significant is the saptapadi, the seven vows taken by the bride and groom as they circle the sacred fire. These vows symbolize everything a marriage stands on: trust, loyalty, respect, support, and lifelong companionship. Families usually expect this part of the ceremony to be serious and spiritually meaningful.But at the Delhi wedding of Mayank and Diya, tradition met a spark of lighthearted fun.As the couple performed the rituals with complete sincerity, the groom decided to slip in a personal twist of his own. With a wide grin, Mayank picked up the microphone and playfully warned the bride that he wanted her agreement on something important before she could change her mind. This instantly caught everyone’s attention. Then came the unexpected moment. Instead of a solemn promise, he announced his “extra” vachan:“Aaj se hamare kamre ka AC temperature main set karunga.”From that moment on, he declared, he would be in charge of the room’s air conditioning settings.The guests erupted into laughter. Some could be heard teasing the couple, others shouted reminders that the entire scene was being recorded. Meanwhile, Diya, shy but amused, responded with a soft “Swikaar hai,” accepting his playful vow and turning the moment into a charming memory for everyone watching.The clip, shared on Instagram on December 2 with the caption “Mayank dropped a Vachan and Diya had to agree,” quickly caught the internet’s attention. The on-screen line, “8th Vachan added. The vachan we all were unprepared for,” summed it up perfectly.Soon, the video went viral, crossing 1.2 million views. Viewers flooded the comments with laughter, jokes about the “seriousness” of the AC debate in married life, and predictions about who would actually control the temperature. Some even shared their own marriage quirks, finding the moment hilariously relatable.In a world where wedding videos often focus on grandeur, poses, and perfection, Mayank and Diya’s unscripted “8th vachan” stood out for its warmth and authenticity. Their spontaneous exchange reminded people that beyond rituals and ceremonies, a marriage is also built on shared smiles, small jokes, and the ability to make each other laugh.
