Madurai, May 24: Marriages are made in heaven but this Madurai couple has taken to the skies to mark their special day! At a time when several states have imposed COVID-19 restrictions, a couple in Madurai came up with a unique idea of tying the knot in an aircraft and getting away with the COVID-19 restrictions imposed in Tamil Nadu. The couple named Rakesh and Dakshina from Madurai had rented a plane for two hours and got married in the wedding sky. According to details in a tweet by a user @DonthuRamesh, the family members flew from Madurai to Bangalore in the SpiceJet flight and then travelled back from Bangalore to Madurai.
As the world continues to adjust to the new normal of social distancing and no contact, the couple took their families along with friends and relatives in a Madurai-Bangalore SpiceJet flight and got married on board the plane by defying COVID-19 wedding restrictions and curfew in Tamil Nadu. In a video that went viral on social media, the happy couple was seen fully decked up in the wedding attire, with the bride in all her glory. The groom was seen tying the ‘Mangalsutra’ around the bride’s neck in presence of all their loved ones. Love Is in the Air!
