This bride from Ahmedabad took a non-traditional route by riding up on a bike.
For her grand entrance, Aesha Upadhyay Vyas 'Riderni' (that's what she calls herself on Facebook) rode her Royal Enfield Bullet 350 - a Raksha Bandhan gift from her brother - to her wedding earlier this month, dressed in her bridal finery and aviator glasses.
The 26-year-old computer science professor is a bike enthusiast and has been riding since she was 13-years-old.
"I would borrow my uncle's Bullet and have undertaken some interesting journeys. I once went to Goa and back on my Bullet, accompanied by a group of fellow Bullet lovers," she told Ahmedabad Mirror. "I also went to the Om Banna Temple, otherwise known as the Bullet Baba Temple."
Aesha now has someone to ride pillion - her husband, Canada-based professional Laukik Vyas, does not know how to ride bikes. "When it comes to bike, I am the pillion rider. I am only too happy to let Aesha take charge," he told Ahmedabad Mirror. "I think coming to the wedding venue on a Bullet is a unique and exciting idea. Knowing her love for Bullets and riding, I fully support the idea," he had said before the wedding.
Aesha plans to continue riding bikes even after she moves to Canada. All we can say is, more power to you Aesha.
