When Prashant Sharma and Niti Shree were planning to marry, they decided to ask for something unusual as a wedding present - the cryptocurrency, Bitcoin.
The couple, who live in the south Indian city of Bangalore, are founders of a digital start-up and many of their friends also work for technology companies.
"So we thought of merging technology with gifting for the future," said Mr Sharma. "We explained it to our parents and they were very receptive."
The wedding took place on 9 December, just four days after India's central bank issued its third warning cautioning investors against buying Bitcoins.
But that didn't seem to discourage their friends and family.
