The betrothal ceremony of Ben and Meenu was held at Backwater Ripples resort in Kumarakom, Kerala, on February 2, and videos and photos of the event have already surfaced online. A few days before the engagement, the pre-wedding photo shoot of the couple by Binu Seens had also become a hit online.
The couple initially hogged the limelight after photos of their marriage resgitration went viral on the social media. Netizens, who thought Lalu Alex would have opted for a simple ceremony on his son's marriage, were praising the actor for setting an example for many others, who shell out a lot of money for a big fat celebrity wedding. However, putting the rumours mills to rest, the actor had come forward clarifying that the registration was conducted earlier to get the visas since Ben is planning to move to London where Meenu is settled.
