Wedding Plane Lands in Trouble, Marriage Rituals End With Complain

Tamil Nadu couple draws flak for getting married in a plane amidst 161 guests, flouting COVID-19 rules.

Right from getting married in PPE kits to tying the knot in hospitals, Indian couples have gone above and beyond during COVID-19 for their nuptials. Amidst this, Rakesh and Dakshina, a couple from Madurai, Tamil Nadu decided to get married mid-flight as the lockdown in the state continued.

The couple booked a chartered plane on May 23 from Madurai to Bangalore to perform some of the rituals in the plane. Their plane hovered over Madurai's Meenakshi Amman Temple as they completed the rituals. They had 161 guests in attendance, and the video has been uploaded on Twitter.
