However, no matter how busy we are with work, whenever there’s a special occasion like family gatherings or weddings, we respect our work-life balance and don’t over do it by bringing work to these functions.

Well, that’s how most of us prefer to do it, but not this one bride in India.

The poor bride actually brought work along to do - on her wedding day!

Too busy to get married

Indian news portal Times of India published a video showing the bride occupied with her laptop and smartphone while she was sitting on the dais at her very own wedding reception.

In the 13-second video, the bride can be seen making a phone call with her laptop on her lap, oblivious to her surrounding, including the presence of the groom who joined her on the dais.

The video was presumably taken by one of the attendees at the wedding, and it was uploaded on to Twitter by user @dineshjoshi70.

The video has since gone viral, having been viewed more than 74,000 times.

If being forced to work on your own wedding day wasn't bad enough, many netizens criticised the bride for not paying attention at her own wedding:

Typical Indian attitude towards to professional work...This is more to impress the immediate & extended social circleHigh time we call out such fake being busy/highly committed imagery

If I were her Boss, I'll resign from job immediately! ?

It's not work pressure, if social media pressure, to give live updates of whts happening around. Hav personally seen brides uploading wedding pics right from the mandap or asking frnds/relatives to do so!!

There were some who defended the bride, saying that she might not even be working:

I wonder, why most of the people commenting here considering her to work for office? How about this, may be she is looking for a contact in her emails for some of her marriage arrangements. Best wishes for the couple.

Might be there is chance, her PhD supervisor called her and asked to make the corrections of the submitted article which he forgot earlier and today is the last day for the submission. #Scholar #PhD #womenscientist

That could be some of her close family members calling her as they couldn't be with her.
