However, paramedics Akash and Ashvarja from the village of Thalavadi did not want to cancel their wedding, despite the natural disaster. They did not know when they would be able to take time off work again, the PTI agency described.

The administrators of the local temple, although also partially flooded, agreed to the ceremony, so the couple borrowed a large aluminum pot from another shrine, into which they sat down on Monday and went to the wedding. At the same time, some men were dragging them through the flooded streets.

Akash’s groom later told the media that they had not found another suitable means of transport at the last minute. “It turned into a wedding we never imagined,” the bride Aishvarja added.
