Finally the wedding date is confirmed. Suriya is getting married to Jothika on September 11.
Suriya’s dad Sivakumar has issued a press release today (Aug 5) saying- “With profound happiness; we inform you the marriage of our eldest son Mr Suriya with Miss Jothika daughter of Mrs & Mr Chander Sadanah on Monday September 11, 2006”.
The venue of the wedding is a closely guarded secret as it will be attended only by close family members. A grand reception will be held on September 12, Tuesday at the Mayor Sri Ramanathan Chettiyar Centre, Chennai.
It is going to be the wedding of the year. Meanwhile the couple who have been away in Switzerland shooting for the songs of Sillunu Oru Kadhal is expected to be back in Chennai late in the night. The views expressed in the article are the author's and not of Sify.com.
