In the picture, the couple can be seen in matching outfits. Ms Moitra coordinated her peach saree with Mr Mishra's waistcoat. A two-tier wedding cake -- topped with a male and female figurine -- exudes Ms Moitra and Mr Mishra. The cake tag reads 'MP', short for Mahua and Pinaki and features a handbag, sunglasses, a gavel and briefcases.

For the unaccustomed, the Trinamool leader is known to have a taste for luxury bags. In 2023, she was at the centre of a row after being spotted with a Louis Vuitton handbag in parliament.

On the other hand, Mr Mishra is a senior advocate in the Supreme Court, hence the gavel and briefcases.

Ms Moitra reportedly got married in a low-key ceremony in Germany on May 30.

Congratulations Pour In

Ms Moitra's colleague, Derek O'Brien, left a comment on the picture, wishing the best. He wrote: "God bless."

TMC Lok Sabha MP from Jadavpur Saayoni Ghosh, took to X to congratulate the couple.

"Congratulations Mm & Pm...Mahua Moitra, Pinaki Misra, wishing you a lifetime of love and laughter!"
