Weddings that take place in the Bride’s home
Originally Sri Lankan weddings were based on local customs but since British rule, weddings have taken on a more western influence. The legal registration of marriage has become very important and it normally takes place before the traditional wedding ceremony. The registration normally takes place at the bride’s house. Traditionally the bride would wear a traditional costume but these days the bride and groom wear more western style clothing. The rings are exchanged and they sign the marriage documents in front of the registrar.
