AN Indian couple has floated to their wedding in a cooking pot along flooded streets.

Footage after heavy rains in the southern state of Kerala shows the newlyweds squeezed into a pot while two men and a photographer paddle them down a flooded street.

The couple reportedly borrowed the pot from a local temple, adding that it was “the only option” available at short notice.”

Footage later showed the bride and groom arriving safe and dry at a small, partially flooded temple in Thalavady, where they exchanged floral garlands, a tradition in many Hindu wedding ceremonies.

Undeterred by the flooding and landslides caused by heavy rains which killed at least 27 people across Kelara, the pair were unwilling to postpone their big day, and after two years of lockdowns, who can blame them?
