BHOPAL: A hospital OPD in MP's Rajgarh district turned into an impromptu wedding venue on Wednesday. Since the bride was unwell and couldn't walk, the groom - in a heart-warming moment - carried her in his arms for the 'saat phere'.
Aditya Singh and Nandini Solanki had decided to marry on the auspicious day of Akshay Tritiya, but she fell seriously ill around a week ago and was admitted to a hospital in Biaora town.
Nandini was first taken to a hospital in her hometown, Kumbhraj. When her condition deteriorated, she was shifted to Binaganj, 25km away, and then to Biaora, a further 50km away.
Her health slowly improved, but doctors advised strict bed rest, making it impossible for her to attend a traditional wedding.
With the next suitable muhurta falling two years later, both families decided to hold the wedding ceremony in the hospital itself. The management agreed, and the OPD was transformed into a wedding venue, complete with decorations.
The groom, Aditya, arrived with his baraat, but without 'band and baaja' so as not to disturb the patients.
At 1am, with doctors and nurses watching over Nandini, the wedding rituals began. When the time came for the sacred 'saat phere', Aditya carried Nandini in his arms. Relatives and guests showered flower petals on the smiling couple.
Doctors said Nandini was admitted seven days ago in a serious condition.
