Since the emergence of Covid-19 we witnessed a lot of changes in our day-to-day life activities and the way the occasions and events were celebrated has also changed. The restrictions came into force for marriages and other events.


A couple has hit the headlines by tying the knot outside a liquor shop. The pictures and visuals of them getting married outside the liquor shop went viral on social media. There is a cause behind the couple getting married outside the liquor shop.


The incident took place in Kerala's Kozhikode region. Pramod and Dhanya, who are into the catering business decided to get married outside the liquor shop as a bid to protest against the government orders keeping a cap on the guest count for the wedding functions. The twist is that it was not a real marriage, but an act of protest.

The All Kerala Caterers' Association had opposed the Kerala government's keeping a limit for the invitees for the weddings, saying that the restrictions are impacting their business.

The Caterers' Association found fault with the government allowing liquor shops without any restrictions and said due to this, people are standing in long queues to get the liquor at the stalls.

They are requesting the government to increase the guest count to 100 from the existing 50 or else it will make it miserable for them to make a living. The association has been protesting against the rule for so long.
