Judah’s Limerick
A Madurai couple and their kin went high up in the air to 35000 feet
Then a proper wedding tamasha commenced, all leaving their seat
The hapless SpiceJet crew
saw the ceremony through
the DGCA wasn’t amused and said it was all a big deceit

An Indian couple reportedly chartered a plane and held a mid-air wedding with more than 160 guests in an effort to escape coronavirus restrictions.
Video footage posted on social media appeared to show the couple and their guests packed into the hired jet.
The state of Tamil Nadu, where the flight was said to have originated, recently imposed tougher restrictions, limiting weddings to 50 guests.
India’s aviation authority has launched an investigation, reports said.
An official from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) told the Times of India that the SpiceJet staff aboard the flight had been taken off duty.
A SpiceJet spokesperson told the Indian Express that the Boeing 737 was booked from Madurai to Bangalore by a travel agent for a trip after a wedding.
