The Wedding Ceremony:
Couples can choose a non-denominational civil service conducted by a Celebrant, with a Registrar for the leagalisation, or a traditional Buddhist 'Poruwa' ceremony. The more colourful 'Poruwa' ceremony can be tailored to your requirements. Note: You cannot have a formal Christian wedding ceremony in a garden in Sri Lanka, only civil services or Buddhist ceremony. You can have a Christian blessing by a clergyman; however you will need to be in Sri Lanka months prior to meet with the minister.
Services conducted by a Celebrant take approximately 25 minutes with spoken Vows and readings, and traditional Buddhist ceremonies take up to 45 minutes. The choice is entirely up to you.
Legal Requirements:
Weddings can be conducted from Monday to Saturday excluding bank holidays. The couple must be 18 years or over. There is a minimum residency of 5 days i.e. couples must be in Sri Lanka 3 days prior to the wedding day. Parental consent is required if under 21.

Marriage Certificate:
