A video has surfaced on the internet which shows Indian Navy officers welcoming newlyweds Lieutenant Neil and Parvathy. After the newlywed couple received a traditional sword salute from the officers, friends of the groom decided to have some fun. The groom's colleagues teased him by asking him to perform push-ups and other exercises.
The video was shared by industrialist Harsh Goenka which shows the Naval officers welcoming the couple with an arch of sabers. Notably, the 'Arch of Sabers Ceremony' is a wedding tradition in which swords (sabers) are used to salute a newly married couple. In the clip, Lt Neil can be seen performing tasks given to him. He performs 10 knuckle push-ups, and then a few chest pumps. All this while, the bride couldn't help but blush and smile.
The caption of the video reads, "That is how Indian Navy Officer Lt Neil and Parvathy got married. All three arms of the armed forces have their unique way to welcome the new bride into the tribe. So lovely!"
