Alappuzha: Time and tide wait for none, not even coronavirus. And this prompted Abhirami to walk down the aisle with her boyfriend at the COVID-ward of Alappuzha medical college and hospital after the groom tested positive for coronavirus a few days back. The girl ditched her traditional bridal wear and tie the nuptial knot wearing a PPE kit as the families did not want to skip the auspicious 'muhurtham.'
