• Auspicious ‘Seven’The seven betel leaf bundles are offered to God, as a request to protect the lives of seven generations beginning from their marriage.

• Groom Wedding Dress The Sri Lankan groom’s wedding outfit is the most unique in the whole of SouthEast Asia. The look resonates with the royalty of the 19th century. He’s decked in a plush velvet hat and jacket that many Lankans fancy wearing in these times. --Kevangelo
