SOUTHERN
brides in the U.S. are usually thought to take the cake for having the most
bridesmaids included in their pearl-wearing, sorority-sister-filled,
monogrammed-to-the-nines wedding ceremonies. But one
bride in Sri Lanka, Nisansala, has officially dominated the bridesmaids
department, breaking the Guinness World Record with her husband, Nalin, for
having the most bridesmaids in their Nov. 8 wedding ceremony in Negombo.
The
whopping 126 bridesmaids, adorned in long purple dresses with white flowers in
their perfectly pulled-back hair, beats the previous record from a wedding in
Bangkok, Thailand, that had a mere 96 bridesmaids.
The
over-the-top number of bridesmaids was the brainchild of the bride’s sister,
famous Sri Lankan bridal gown designer, Champi Siriwardana, who helped plan the
wedding and had her eyes set on the Guinness World Records prize.
The
lavender ladies had good company during the nuptials, though. The groom also
had a strong representation with 25 best men and 20 page boys.
And
with a wedding so lavish, it only seems appropriate that the aisle be riddled
with flower petals for the bride to make her grand entrance. In order to so,
Nisanala had 23 flower girls.
