Fancy a unique wedding destination? You can now opt for a railway platform

Indian Railways will allow the public to hold wedding receptions on its platforms soon

Weddings in India are grand affairs. Now, along with banquet halls and hotels, there will be another option available for the soon-to-be-wed to host their reception -- railway platforms. 

Indian Railways will allow the public to hold wedding receptions on its platforms, a report published in Deccan Chronicle said.  The move comes as Indian Railways looks for options to boost its profit.

In a first, wedding receptions will be held at the Surat railway station. The Western Railway (WR) will send the proposal to the Railway Ministry this week, sources said.
