Local people delivering supplies to the venue

The wedding was a well-kept secret, since Bipasha Basu has been telling us on Twitter that it was not sudden, but pre-planned. Weddings never are, are they? Incidentally that puts paid to my journo friend's comment which says hurry means lots to worry.
But, perhaps my friend is not totally off cue here. Some reports suggest that Dhoni had developed cold feet and didn't want to marry before the World Cup. But both sets of parents ‘intervened' to set things on course.
Once on course, there was no stopping the flow of information. We know about Ashish, the man whose ghoodi (the ghoodi has two names Rani and Bobby) MSD rode to the wedding. Ashish was ‘ecstatic' about his hi-profile client who gave him Rs 5001 at the end of the ride. When MSD rides your mare, time under the sun is guaranteed.
We also know MSD's sehra was made by Charandas of Dehradun's Paltan Bazaar for Rs 10,000.
And, did you see the hapless local who was delivering supplies to the venue and had cameras and microphones thrust at him?
But we are still missing the important detail: What are the honeymoon plans? What? No news?

Could you please explain to me what they mean by "local people delivering supplies to the venue"?
Though I "venue" is a place where event takes place.

You have "venue" right. These people were just truck drivers making deliveries, and knew nothing about the honeymoon plans. Maybe they delivered 200 folding chairs, or a rolled up white carpet, or a rented punch bowl, ordered from the local party store.
