WATCH : Indian couple float to their wedding in a cooking pot along flooded streets

An Indian couple have arrived for their wedding in unusual style after sailing through the flooded streets of their town in a cooking pot after heavy rains wrecked havoc in the southern state of Kerala.

Footage shared across social media showed the newlyweds squeezed inside the aluminium vessel while two men and a photographer paddled the pair down a submerged street.

The couple reportedly borrowed the pot from a local temple, adding that it was “the only option” available at short notice, local news agency PTI reported.

Undeterred by the flooding and landslides caused by heavy rains which killed at least 27 people across the state, the pair were unwilling to postpone their big day.
