In a unique story of resilience and adaptability, an Indian employee working for a Turkish company faced an unexpected situation when her boss refused to grant her leave to attend her own wedding. The denial of leave for this significant life event could have disrupted her plans, but the couple decided to adapt rather than cancel their marriage plans. Instead, they chose to marry over a video call, embodying the adage “love finds a way.”
The couple coordinated with family members to ensure the virtual wedding ran smoothly, with friends and relatives attending the ceremony remotely. The bride donned her wedding attire and celebrated the milestone online, while her family handled traditional ceremonies on her behalf. Virtual weddings have gained popularity since the pandemic, but this case adds a fresh perspective on work-life balance, highlighting how corporate policies can sometimes clash with personal priorities, even during culturally significant moments.
