True Story:

Since we are talking about the appropriate size for a wedding, recently in the news, a Sri Lankan couple, Nisansala and Nalin had broken the record for the world’s biggest wedding with 126 bridesmaids, 25 best men, 20 page boys and 23 flowers girls – beating the previous record of 96 held by a Thai couple.

To plan a wedding is no easy deal, but a wedding of this size? Challenging!   The bride’s sister, Champi happens to be one of the Sri Lanka’s leading wedding planner and dress designer who dressed all the bridesmaid as well.

This massive wedding was held at the Avendra Gardens in Negombo, about 30 kilometers from Colonbo. The wedding party – bride, groom, 126 bridesmaids, 25 best men, 20 page boys and 23 flower girls – were dressed in richly embroidered traditional costumes in purple and gold.

Malaysian out there, challenge accepted? 🙂
