A unique wedding ceremony took place on Friday morning at VPS Lakeshore Hospital in Ernakulam, Kochi, after the bride-to-be was injured in a pre-dawn car crash. The couple, Alappuzha schoolteacher Avani J and her fiancé Sudev M, opted to proceed with their wedding vows at the hospital instead of postponing the ceremony.
The hospital granted permission for the wedding due to the unusual circumstances surrounding the accident. The event, which was a far cry from traditional weddings with confetti, finery, and celebrations, took place in the emergency department. Only some basic expressions and gestures of commitment were exchanged between the couple.
Avani J, who teaches at Bishop Moore School, and Sudev M, an engineer at KVM College of Engineering and Information Technology in Kottayam Medical College, were set to get married earlier this week. However, their plans took an unexpected turn when a car accident left Avani with injuries.
The couple’s story has garnered attention across Kerala, with many expressing admiration for the couple’s resilience and commitment. Despite the challenging circumstances, they chose to honor their union, turning a potentially tragic event into a testament of their love.
This incident serves as a reminder that life’s unexpected twists can shape our experiences and decisions in ways we least expect. The story of Avani J and Sudev M is a testament to the enduring nature of love and commitment, even under trying circumstances.
