Guruvayur: Scottish National Party politician Martyn Day married his partner Nidhin Chand, a native of Kerala, at the famed Guruvayur Sree Krishna Temple on Tuesday, fulfilling her long-held wish to get married at the shrine, family sources said.
The couple performed the traditional wedding rituals at the temple, followed by a ceremony at an auditorium in the temple town. Close relatives and friends attended the event.
He also shared photographs from the traditional Guruvayur wedding on his Facebook page.
Nidhin, a native of Piravom in Ernakulam district, moved to the UK in 2008 to pursue higher studies in IT management. She later met Day in the UK, according to family sources.
The couple had previously married in the UK. However, Nidhin had long wished to have a traditional wedding ceremony at Guruvayur. The plan was delayed for several years due to various reasons, including the Kerala floods and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The long-awaited ceremony at Guruvayur finally fulfilled Nidhin's wish, with family and friends joining the couple for the celebrations.
