The wedding invitation of Australian cricketer Glenn Maxwell and his Indian-origin fiancee Vini Raman has gone viral. The invite is printed in Tamil in traditional yellow glossy paper.
Raman's parents hail from Vellore, Tamil Nadu, and the invitation card has confirmed that the wedding will be conducted following traditional Tamil-Brahmin customs.
The invite refers to the cricketer as "Chiranjeevi Glenn Maxwell, son of Thiru Neil Maxwell-Joy". The couple will get married on March 27 in Melbourne.
Maxwell and Raman met in 2013 and dated for three years from 2017 before getting engaged in 2020. They were to get married shortly after but their wedding plans were put on hold because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to reports, Raman was born in India before her family migrated to Australia. She completed her studies in medical sciences.
This means that the Australian national team star is likely to miss the opening week of the 2022 Indian Premier League season as per the current expected schedule.
Maxwell was retained by Royal Challengers Bangalore ahead of the mega auction.
