Marriages are made
in water?
Getting married differently was the dream of long-time lovers
Clair, 37 and Arnold, 45. The dream became a reality for them
when the Dutch bridegroom and the English bride tied the nuptial
knot on a bedecked barge on the Chaliyar river near Kadavu
Resort.
Nearly 140 guests had flown in from different
parts of the world, including the U.K., the U.S., South Africa,
Sweden and Australia, to witness the marriage. The bridegroom's
relatives were also present on the occasion. The couple was
on a pilgrimage to India when they decided to get married.
The rituals were conducted in a makeshift `mandapam' on the
barge. The ceremony was accompanied by traditional rites and
music.
