A couple from Maharashtra invited guests (investors) to their "merger" in Karnataka a stock market-themed wedding card that is going viral online. The card was an IPO, an "invitation of precious occasion", that invoked stock market titans.

It had the names of Rakesh Jhunjhunwala and Warren Buffett right on top. Next, the invite said promoters (parents) had given their consent for the merger (marriage) of the couple -- Dr Sandesh and Dr  Divya.

"Retail investors (family and friends) are invited to attend the listing ceremony and invest their blessings in the merged entities," it added.

The pre-wedding ceremonies were also described in stock market terms. Sangeet became "ringing of the bell", the reception was "interim dividend payout".

The wedding card is a year old. The groom had tweeted about its brother designing it for him.

So my brother @drmm_aamadmi made this invitation for my marriage.
