How to Plan your one day wedding function in sri lanka?
Many people's dreams come true when they get married. It is customarily a two-day affair, with the bride's party hosting the first day and the groom's party 🎊 hosting the second.
But instead of having a two-day wedding, many couples these days choose to have a one-day wedding. 💒 This is a result of people's busy schedules and inability to afford to attend weddings for two days.
Furthermore, especially given the current state of the economy, two days can be highly costly for Sri Lankans. As a result, planning your ideal wedding as a one-day event is a wise decision. 🙌
In this article, we will show you how to plan and schedule a one-day wedding that is beautiful, memorable, and stress-free. We will give you some tips and tricks to make your life easier and your wedding day smoother.
01. Wedding Photoshoot
🌟 A gorgeous wedding photo shoot will help you preserve the magic of your special day. As the photos are scheduled to begin at 6:30 a.m.,
please make sure you arrive at the location in advance. 🕡 Make sure your salon visit fits into your schedule because you won't have time to return to the hotel.
🏨 As you pose with your significant other 💑 and your loved ones 👪, you will take in the stunning surroundings 🌄 and the abundant natural light ☀️. Your pictures will serve as a permanent reminder of your joy 😊 and love ❤️. 🌟
02. Groom arrives at hotel
The groom should arrive at the hotel without crossing the threshold. This is a traditional way of avoiding bad luck on the wedding day.
The groom should also consider the distance from the photo location to the hotel in the morning. He should plan his travel time accordingly and avoid being late or rushed.
If the photo location is far away from the hotel, the groom should allocate at least an hour for the journey. This will ensure that he has enough time to enjoy the scenery and take some memorable pictures.
03. Dancing Group
The dancing ensemble is one of the highlights of the wedding ceremony. To commemorate the bride and groom's union, they engage in traditional dances and musical performances.
The groom usually arrives at the hotel courtyard with the dancing group, while the bride is taken from inside the hotel. This is because the hotel represents the bride's new home, and she has to leave it to go to the groom's house, or Kandan. The dancing group welcomes her with drums and dance, as a sign of joy and respect.
The bride and groom have to finish this part of the ceremony before they proceed to the poru rituals, where they exchange rings and vows.
04. Foot Washing
The foot washing ceremony is another significant tradition in the wedding ceremony. this is a symbolic act of humility and service.
Given that it just takes five minutes, people wash their feet quickly. In addition to expressing their desire to begin their new life together, the pair does not want to postpone the remaining festivities.
05. Poruwa Ceremony 🌸
The most significant and customary aspect of a Sri Lankan wedding is the poruwa ritual. The ceremony takes place on a decked platform known as the poruwa, where the bride and groom exchange vows and rings. A ritualist who adheres to the auspicious hour specified in the nakath pathra (astrological document) conducts the ceremony.
The gods' blessings and the joining of two families are symbolized by the exquisite and symbolic poruwa ceremony. The following items are necessary for the poruwa ceremony:
Rings: As a symbol of their commitment and love, the bride and groom exchange rings according to tradition of sri lanka.
Stripes: As a sign of the bride and groom's protection and togetherness, the ritualist wraps a thread around their fingers.
White rags: To protect the bride and groom from bad luck and guarantee a happy marriage, the ritualist covers their heads with white rags.
Crimson sarees: To symbolize fertility and wealth, the ritualist covers the shoulders of the bride and groom with a crimson saree.
Parents' gifts: To express their love and support, the parents of both couples give the newlyweds gifts like jewelry, clothing, or cash.The family should keep these items close to the poruwa before the ceremony begins. If there is a wedding planner, he or she will take care of these arrangements and make sure everything is ready.
