Hyderabad’s gay couple ties the knot; see celebratory pics

In a first for Telugu states, a gay couple tied the knot at an intimate wedding ceremony in Hyderabad. Supriyo Chakraborty and Abhay Dang, entered into wedlock making their nearly decade-long relationship official. The private ceremony was held at a resort located on the outskirts of Hyderabad on December 18

As same-sex marriages are not legally recognised in India, the two men held a “promising ceremony’ to make their eight-year-long relationship official.

The wedding, attended by family members and close friends of the couple, was officiated by Sophia David, a trans-woman from Hyderabad.

Abhay, a Punjabi, is an IT professional who works for an e-commerce firm while Supriyo, a Bengali, is a hospitality professional.

The white-themed wedding which followed both Bengali and Punjabi rituals witnessed over 60 guests comprising friends, family and members of the LGBTQ community.
