"It does feel lonely as most of our near and dear ones are not here with us but we cannot just keep our children's happiness aside. We are connecting many of our relatives online and are showing them a glimpse of our wedding," Vinita Sharma, the mother of the groom said.

She added: "We are still very happy. We are receiving the blessings of all our relatives as well. Let's be happy with the changes that are taking place."
