Glenn Maxwell is an Australian cricket player but a lot of Indian fans consider him an honorary Indian in a sense. He has been playing the IPL since 2012 and was the tournament's most expensive player in 2013, fetching a million dollars. Last year, he was the IPL’s biggest run-scorer. In addition to the IPL, he has another Indian connection: his Indian origin fiancé Vini Raman. The two are set to tie the knot soon and made the announcement via a Tamil wedding invite.
This is a traditional Tamil wedding invite that was very popular in the region a while back.
A lot of people were sharing pictures of Maxwell and his fiancé Vini.
There is news that the two will be having a traditional marriage ceremony as well.
Maxwell wanted it to be a private event but this is difficult in this cricket-mad country.
There are a lot of Maxwell fans in India.
People liked the simple and elegant design of the wedding invite
The invite being in Tamil made it difficult for people to understand. So, some helpfully translated it. Many found it amusing that Maxwell is being referred to as Cheeranjeevi - a term used to give blessings of a long life
While some were busy thinking about the implications of the traditional ceremony and wondering what faith each would follow after the wedding, most simply wished the couple well for their life together.
Some were still thinking only about cricket. Maxwell announced that he would not be a part of the Pak tour and some of the initial IPL matches. With IPL 2022 beginning on 2 April 2022, some are simply worried about the matches that Glenn Maxwell will miss owing to his big day.
