They were all dressed by Nisansala's sister-in-law Champi Siriwardana, who first suggested they go for the world record bid and it probably helped that Champi happens to be one of the Asian island's leading wedding planners and dress designers.
The guest of honour was Sri Lanka's First Lady, Shiranthi Rajapaksa, wife of President Mahinda Rajapaksa. The spectacular ceremony was elaborately staged at the Avendra Gardens in Negombo, 30 kms from Colombo in front of hundreds of family and friends. All of 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 shades of purple and gold. Very lovely I can only imagine all the work that would have gone into making all this happen. Hope they have a long happy life together.
