My wife Kamlaa and I were married in a quiet wedding ceremony at her home on the 25th of April 2020.
It was following country wide lockdown restrictions.
There were a maximum of five persons present: bride, groom, priest and parent included.
A lot of things have been said of the Coronavirus Pandemic worldwide, but nothing could have taught us how to cope with such restrictions for your own wedding.
Especially when you were looking forward to celebrating this accomplishment for 2 years now. Especially when your families are Hindu and such weddings are traditionally celebrated with numerous festivities over three to twenty one days (depending on where you hail from).
They usually involve large crowds, family travelling from all over the world, lots of hugs, kisses and dancing. In short, everything you can't do during a global pandemic.
In this blog, I will try to bring some semblance of normalcy to a not so normal newlywed life and hopefully encourage others who aspire along a similar path.
