This is Mann's second wedding and Dr Kaur's first. The chief minister's family, including his mother and sister, and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and his family, were among the guests.
Earlier today an account that seems to be operated by Dr Kaur (it does not have the 'blue tick') posted a photograph of the bride with the caption 'din shagna da chadya', or 'day of marriage has arrived'.
