For the newlyweds — Akash and Aishwarya — a large aluminum vessel doubled up as some kind of a boat to transport them to the venue where the wedding was slated to take place. Akash said theirs was an inter-caste relationship which was opposed by an uncle of Aishwarya and therefore, they had a registered marriage on October 5.
Subsequently, they decided to get married as per Hindu rites without much delay, but most of the temples near his home at Thakazhy were accepting bookings 15 days in advance.
Finally, they found a temple at Thalavady which agreed to host the ceremony, he said, adding that it was supposed to be a small event. However, thanks to their journey in a cooking vessel, now everyone knows about the marriage, excited Akash said.
