万幸的是有一位参加婚礼的宾客，30岁的女方亲戚Sivakumar 自告奋勇站出来，表示愿意娶新娘。根据《印度时报》的报道：
The wedding then took place as per the schedule, much to the relief of the family. The other guests who had come there also congratulated and appreciated Sivakumar for his timely gesture.
婚礼按照原计划进行，也让新娘的家人松了口气，其他的参加婚礼的宾客也对Sivakumar 及时的挺身而出表示了祝贺和欣赏。
