The two childhood sweethearts — A Premchandran and Sandra Santosh — hailing from nearby Eranhipalan, have had to postpone their wedding, scheduled to be held on Sunday once again, thanks to the restrictions imposed in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak.
The marriage of Premchandran (26) and Sandra (23) was originally fixed for May 20, 2018.
However, following the outbreak of Nipah virus early in May, which affected Kozhikode and Malappuram districts and claimed 17 lives, the wedding was postponed as there was a ban on social gatherings.
