Wedding plans hang in balance

Vadodara: Many who have weddings scheduled in the coming days are worried over the number of guests and possible restrictions, but the concern for Nilesh Patel in Vadodara is much more.
Patel’s daughter Reetu works as a paediatric physiotherapist in the US and her fiancé is an NRI in the same country. Apart from taking a call on the number of guests and how many invites to distribute, Patel is worried about his daughter’s travel to India.
Reetu is to arrive in India on January 22 just a week before her wedding.The family is worried about the fate of the wedding if measures like compulsory quarantine are put in place for foreign travellers. “We also keep hearing of persons testing negative before boarding a flight and testing positive on landing in India,” he said.
The invites for the wedding are ready but have not been distributed yet. Patel said that since his daughter is a healthcare worker she cannot come earlier. The groom is due to arrive on January 15.
