This Madurai wedding had a new virtual way to collect gift cash!

A marriage function in Madurai on Sunday saw an innovative way of collecting 'moi' or gift in cash. It used payment apps like Google Pay and PhonePe to enable guests to make gift contributions, reported The Hindu.

The invitation cards sent to the guests had QR codes of both the apps printed on it. Guests who wished to gift the couple scanned the code via any payment app to give the money.

TJ Sivaksankari, the bride, who works as a programme analyst in Bengaluru, came up with the idea to maintain social distancing amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The bride's family members said they used the payment apps to enable guests to make their gift contributions without having to mingle with the crowd at the 'moi collection' points.

Before the wedding on Sunday, pictures of the wedding invitation became widely popular on social media, with people appreciating the unique idea. "I have been getting many calls on this. Similarly, my brother and others in the family have been getting lots of calls since Monday morning," Jeyanthi remarked.
