But she did not disclose the reason for not marrying the man who an employee in a private firm in Villupuram district.  

However, the groom and his parents did not lose heart and immediately decided to ensure that the marriage took place to one of his relatives, a nurse in a private nursing home in Villupuram district who was brought to the venue, suitably attired with bridal finery by staff at a beauty parlour in the hall and the marriage ceremony was performed.
