Scottish MP Martin Day Marries Malayali Woman at Guruvayur Temple

Scottish MP Martin Day married Nidhin Chand, a native of Piravom in Kerala, at the Guruvayur Temple in Thrissur on Tuesday. The ceremony was attended by Nidhin's 22-year-old son, Veddik Shankar, relatives, and close friends.

The couple tied the knot at 11 a.m. at the Guruvayur Temple, after which the celebrations continued at the Pushpanjali Auditorium. Nidhin, who moved to the UK in 2008 for higher studies, met Day in 2016 while lobbying for visa changes.

Nidhin is the only daughter of KN Chandy, a retired Veterinary Field Officer, and Raji, a former member of the Pambakkuda Gram Panchayat. She pursued higher studies in the UK, earning a B.Tech in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and a master's degree in IT Management. She later earned her PhD.

The couple's love story began in 2016, and they registered their marriage in the UK nine years ago. However, Nidhin had always dreamed of getting married at the Guruvayur Temple. Due to visa and family-related circumstances, they were unable to fulfill this wish until now.

Martin Day, a member of the Scottish National Party (SNP), visited Kerala three times before, but was unable to visit the Guruvayur Temple for darshan. During his fourth trip to the state, the couple finally fulfilled Nidhin's long-held wish by solemnising their marriage at the Guruvayur Temple.

The couple's marriage has been a subject of interest on social media, with videos from the wedding going viral. The ceremony was a beautiful blend of Scottish and Malayali traditions, bringing together two cultures in a celebration of love.

The marriage of Martin Day and Nidhin Chand is a heartwarming story of love and commitment. Despite the challenges they faced, the couple has finally fulfilled their dream of getting married at the Guruvayur Temple.

This marriage is a significant event, not only for the couple but also for their families and friends. It marks a new beginning for the couple and a celebration of their love and commitment to each other.

In conclusion, the marriage of Scottish MP Martin Day and Nidhin Chand at the Guruvayur Temple is a beautiful story of love and commitment. It is a celebration of two cultures coming together and a reminder that love knows no boundaries.
