The pictures garnered loads of likes and comments.

“The way you follow the Tamil tradition May God bless you three,” a social media user commented.

“This is so wholesome,” another one wrote.

On May 11, Glen and Vini announced their pregnancy with a heartwarming post.

“Glenn & I are ecstatic to announce our rainbow baby is due September 2023,” Vini Raman said in an Instagram post.

Vini said that her journey to becoming a mother has not been the easiest as she had experienced the pain and loss regarding fertility first-hand.

“It’s so important for us to acknowledge this journey has not been the smoothest or easiest. I know first hand how painful it can be to see posts like these wondering if and when your time will be. We send our love and strength to other couples who are struggling with fertility or loss,” she wrote.

The duo got married on March 27, 2022 in an intimate ceremony in both Hindu and Christian tradition.
