Listening to Google Maps, the groom almost picked up the wrong bride

Mistakes from Google Maps are disastrous.

The family of a groom in central Java (Indonesia) used Google Maps to find the way to the bride’s house located in the village of Losari, Pakis district. But because there were 2 weddings and engagements taking place on the same day in the district, the application guided the groom’s group to the village of Jengkol, not far from Losari.

Initially unaware of the confusion because the bride was in the dressing room. The bride’s family, Ulfa, warmly welcomed the groom from Pemalang and presented the bridesmaids. About 10 minutes later, they realized it was strange because both sides realized that there was no one they knew. After asking the groom’s departure location, the bride’s family, Maria Ulfa in Jengkol village, knew there was a mistake. Maria Ulfa’s groom’s party came from Kendal, while the bride’s procession to her wrong home came from Pemalang district.

After the incident, the groom’s group went to the wrong house, apologized, apologized and also received directions to the right house of the bride.

Utah also shared that it was also very coincidental that her groomsmen arrived late to the engagement ceremony because they were looking for a restroom.

After being shared, the story that the groom almost picked up the wrong bride has attracted much attention from the online community.

This is not the first time that Google Maps’ navigation feature has caused trouble for users. In June 2019, when the route to Denver airport was congested, listening to Google Maps to go around to avoid traffic jams, nearly 100 people together stuck in the muddy road.

In February 2020, a man in the US had an accident due to following the instructions of Google Maps. But Google Maps instructed this person to plunge the car into the river instead of on the bridge.
