Weddings scheduled to take place during this period of the year are either being postponed now or held without any guests due to the rising COVID cases. However, some people have taken creative measures to go ahead with their vows amidst lockdown restrictions.?
A couple in Kerala's Alappuzha got married inside a government hospital where the bride wore a PPE kit in lieu of her bridal saree and other jewellery since the groom was admitted for being COVID positive.?
The bride named Abhirami wore the PPE kit to get married to groom Sarathmon S because the families did not want to miss out on the auspicious wedding 'muhurtham'.?
Since COVID cases are on the rise, the couple went ahead with their wedding keeping in mind the precautions required for the same.?
The wedding was attended by the groom's mother who is also COVID positive and admitted to the Alappuzha Vandanam medical college along with her son and another relative of the bride's.?
The groom tied thali - the mangal sutra and garlanded the bride with a tulsi garland to commemorate the wedding, reported ANI.?
The couple had taken permission from the authorities to go ahead with the wedding. The date had been fixed a year ago and since the families did not want to miss out on the muhurtham, they got in touch with the authorities to seek permission to get married in the hospital itself.?
Abhirami then went back to her uncle¡¯s house while Sarathmon stayed back at the hospital for his treatment to get over. The couple will be reunited once the groom and his mother tested negative for the virus.?
