In Delhi’s neighbourhood, two grooms ride to weddings in choppers

Noida/Ghaziabad: There have been several occasions when the rich and the famous in India have used choppers to arrive for their weddings by making a style statement - and Delhi’s neighbourhood got to see two such examples Friday. There was, however, a slight difference: the grooms were most definitely rich but famous they certainly were not.
Umesh Yadav, a 28-year-old wrestler in Noida’s Sarfabad village, travelled in a helicopter to the bride’s place at Behlolpur, situated merely one kilometre away - and spent a Rs.250,000 for the short ride.
The wrestler wed Ruby Yadav, daughter of Hazari Yadav.
In the second wedding extravaganza, a groom in Shahpur Bamheta village in Ghaziabad travelled by chopper to the wedding venue located just 1.5 km away.
Prashant Yadav, also a farmer’s son, flew to Inder Colony in Vijay Nagar to tie the knot with Preeti Yadav, who runs her own school, said Phoolkumar Yadav, councillor of the area in Ghaziabad. Prashant’s trip cost him Rs.310,000.
