It is no secret that online food delivery services like Swiggy and Zomato have revolutionized the way we eat. From small street stalls to award-winning restaurants, they offer a wide variety of options and make it easier for customers to enjoy their favorite meals without leaving their homes.
Restaurants have benefited too, reaching far more customers than ever before. But recently, this convenience took an unexpected turn when a couple decided to ditch traditional catering at their engagement ceremony and instead opted for online food delivery.
An X user named Susmita, who attended the event, shared a photo of a Swiggy delivery partner stacking rows of plastic food boxes on a table beneath a tent. Amused by the unconventional choice, she wrote, “They ordered food online for an engagement ceremony?? Bhai I have seen everything!”
The post quickly went viral, sparking a wave of memes, jokes, and laughter across social media. People were both surprised and entertained by the idea of using a food delivery app for a major life event like an engagement.
The photo even caught the attention of Swiggy itself, who replied in a playful manner. The tweet reads, “No one has used our Crazy Deals better than these guys, shaadi ka khana bhi humse mangwa lena,” (Please let us deliver your wedding feast too), adding to the humor and making the conversation even more engaging.
This lighthearted incident has highlighted how deeply online food delivery services have become a part of our lives.
Responding to the pic, one user said, ”They have that shadi wali coffee machine …. Sorted priorities must say… haven’t seen it in a while at a wedding.” Another user said, ”Shaadi pe bolenge apne ghar se khake aana Shagun ke Paise Gpay kr dena.”
Meanwhile, another user wrote, ”They would have put a UPI QR code on their invites.” The other added, ”I don’t see a problem here. Unki engagement. Unka paisa. Unki party. Unki marzi.”
