JOIN USThe groom, Pratuyush, was injured in a motorbike accident days before his wedding. He fractured his left leg and is recovering after a surgery, hospital officials said, adding that it would take a few months for him to heal completely.
When the hospital learnt that his marriage had been fixed for yesterday, doctors, nurses and other staff decided to make it a memorable day for the young couple.
Relatives and friends of the two families then decided to solemnise the wedding at the hospital itself.
The first floor of the Specialist Hospital was converted into a wedding 'mandap' decorated with flowers and the groom was brought in on his wheelchair by his friends while the bride was brought in by hospital nurses and her relatives.
The marriage was earlier scheduled to be held at Mahadeva temple at Haripad yesterday.
The bride later said the mishap could have occurred any time and it was decided to solemnise the wedding at the auspicious time.
