"My heart is so full, for my family to have all been here for such an incredible occasion for my brother's wedding, so much love and energy on the streets of NYC," Mr Patel wrote in the caption of the post.

However, some users were also irked for blocking a public place. "Why are you allowed to shut down Broadway for a personal event. Isint this a grave inconvenience to residents ?" wrote one. "The 'Shutdown' caption did more harm to this post, than the actual event itself," added another.
