Sikh groom breaks tradition, flies in for wedding

Amritsar: Breaking the usual tradition of riding on a horseback to the bride's home, a Sikh bridegroom here flew in a helicopter to solemnise his marriage.

Amidst great fanfare, the couple's relatives received Aman Sandhu as he landed at the Maharaja Marriage Palace on the outskirts of the city on Wednesday to marry Kismat Kaur.

His childhood dream of approaching his bride in a chopper, and also taking her home for the first time by air, turned into reality, thanks to his father, Sandhu said.

Owner of the marriage venue, Meharban Singh, said a temporary helipad was made following the pilot's guidelines a day before the wedding.
