Victoria and Panav Jha
were going to celebrate their wedding on the 16th floor of the Grand Bohemian hotel in Charlotte, North Carolina.
And for that, obviously, they had to go up there.
So they did what anyone would do: they used the elevator.
Serious mistake.
They never imagined that this simple decision would cause them so much trouble
.
What happened was that
the elevator got stuck as soon as it started and the bride and groom were trapped between the first and second floors for two hours
, thus missing their own party reception.
"We went up about five feet (about 1.5 meters) and then we stopped," Panav Jha told WBTV, adding: "The door was slightly ajar, so I was like, 'Hmm, that's not normal.'"
Both were trapped along with four guests.
The marriage was locked up for two hours.

First they called people from the hotel to get them out, but to no avail.
Since no one could do anything, the improvised rescuers turned to the
Charlotte fire station
.

Charlotte firefighters said that after arriving they had to manipulate the elevator to lift people up and out through the top of the cubicle.
"We went through all the normal troubleshooting that you do on a lift call and none of it worked, so we realized we had to lift them up. It ended up being a rope rescue," firefighter David Budd explained.
After they rescued the first person, Victoria's sister asked them to please get the newlyweds out quickly, since they had to go entertain the guests of their own party.
Finally, the firefighters rescued the 6 and everyone was able to participate in the celebration.
