What I thought newsworthy was that someone in the Upper Peninsula was actually getting married.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

This is the original role of the maid of honor.

No.

[Kickass Conservative]

I guess she pulled the short straw.

[Magnum44]

the sister of a bride in Uttar Pradesh (Northern India) was made to marry the groom after the bride collapsed and died in the middle of the wedding ceremony

Funeral services were brief...

[wardaddy]

That is a salient point

[caww]

I noticed that also...and that before the Bride toppled over.
Arranged marriages are nothing more than to secure their parents.

The Joy of Arranged marriages....

This is so weird. Neither the groom nor the sister were given time to grieve.

It may have been an arranged marriage in which the bride and groom had never met, but were chosen for each other via negotiations between two families, with a dowry paid by the bride's family to the groom. Therefore a sister could step in due to this arranged set-up.

[Albion Wilde]

It would have been the groom’s family expecting to receive a dowry, not the bride’s.

I saw other pictures of her and she looked very ashy, in bad shape. So sad.

Not quite the same, but in The Philadelphia Story, Katherine Hepburn is about to be married to a nouveau riche dork who dumps her at the last moment, so Cary Grant (her ex) just happens to be there and marries her instead.
