Maybe? I am definitely speculating. The entire song was her saying don’t change your mind and then the scene that shows her worried about going too far, just makes it seem like maybe they had sex already.

No matter what country, it is a universal film rule that if you plan to meet at the temple/church/registry office, something will happen and you won’t both make it. People should just always leave together for their elopements.

Possible but not super convincing explanation for why Akshay might not have continued on to the temple: they had set a specific time for the rendezvous and he was all like “so will you be there???” at Karisma as though he feared she might not turn up and, if she did, might not stay. (Translation: dumbassery.)
