A spectacular Sri Lankan wedding is laying claim to the title of ‘world's biggest bridal troupe’, with 126 bridesmaids, 25 best-men, 20 page boys and 23 flower girls.
The couple, identified as Nisansala and Nalin, married Negombo last week, at a ceremony that was attended by Sri Lanka's First Lady, Shiranthi Rajapaksa.
Sri Lankan couple Nisansala and Nalin take a group photo during their wedding ceremony as they break the Guinness record for a wedding with the most bridesmaids for a bride in Negombo November 8, 2013. With 126 bridesmaids, 25 best men accompanied by 20 page boys and 23 flower girls, the wedding ceremony broke a previous record of having 96 bridesmaids for a bride at a wedding in Thailand.
The ceremony was staged at the Avendra Gardens in 30km from Colombo.
The entire troupe were dressed in richly embroidered traditional costumes in shades of purple and gold.
