Nowadays, married couples usually take photoshoots before or after the wedding.
To do this, they choose several tourist sites and go there and take photos.
n a tragic incident on Monday, a newly-married couple fell into a lake in Kerala’s Kozhikode district while taking selfies and while the bride was rescued, the bridegroom drowned, police said.
Regilal and his wife, who got married on March 14, had reached the tourist location near Kuttiyadi on Monday morning and were spending time on the lake front.
As they were taking selfies, suddenly both of them fell into the lake which was having a good water flow.
The local villagers quickly swung into action but despite their best efforts, the life of the new bridegroom could not be saved.
In Kerala of late, specialised wedding photographers are in vogue and are pressed into service ahead of a wedding. There are several sessions which include ‘save the date’, besides wedding day photo shoots and even after the wedding. All this comes as a package and costs anything from Rs 100,000 and upwards.
The Kuttyadi river area, where the photoshoot was being conducted, is apparently an accident-prone site. Water levels in the river are also reported to rise often. There is allegedly no protective equipment or railings in the area either.
