Couple gets married in hospital after groom’s low platelet count due to dengue landed them in a rare occurrence.
They say every problem comes with a solution, and that proved true for a 27-year-old man grappling with dengue on his wedding day. Avinash Kumar, an East Delhi resident, found himself exchanging vows in the hospital due to a low platelet count that prevented his discharge. Despite the unexpected turn of events, the wedding ceremony took place in the meeting hall of Max Vaishali Hospital with only 10 attendees, comprising close family and medical staff.

The twist of fate occurred when, four days before the wedding, Avinash fell seriously ill, leading to a high fever. Little did he know that he would end up in the high-dependency unit after being diagnosed with dengue. Reportedly, his blood platelet count had dropped to a dangerously low level of 10,000, well below the threshold of 20,000.
Despite efforts to postpone the wedding, Avinash’s fever persisted, prompting his father, Rajesh Kumar, to consider a delay. However, when Anuradha and her family visited him at the hospital the next day, the idea struck them that the couple could still be married in a brief ceremony in the hospital on the auspicious day.

“We were worried when my son fell ill and was admitted to the high-dependency unit of the hospital. We were also tense as the bride’s family had made arrangements and guests were already invited. However, the hospital accepted our request. Once Avinash is fine, we can have a reception party,” said Rajesh as quoted by the TOI.
So, the originally planned grand wedding at a banquet hall had to be scaled down to a minimalist celebration, adhering to the hospital’s constraints. With the necessary permissions secured from the hospital administration, Avinash adorned a sherwani, and Anuradha wore her bridal gown as they exchanged vows in the meeting hall of Max Vaishali Hospital on November 27.

Anuradha, a nurse at a Faridabad hospital, expressed her surprise, saying, “I never thought that my baraat would not come, and instead, I would have to go to a hospital with my family to get married.”
Nevertheless, all’s well that ends well. The wedding proceeded without interruption, and Avinash is reportedly responding well to treatment, according to the medical superintendent.
