Wedding in the Maldives

It is enough to visit the Maldives once to be convinced that the islands were created by nature for eternal love and paradisiacal pleasure. It is not surprising that romantic couples most often choose Maldives for organizing weddings and ceremonies for two. Agree, quite a tempting offer — to change the stuffy, banal registry office with fussy relatives to the rustle of waves, carved arch of palm trees, colorful, local music and absolute harmony with nature. Another distinctive feature of the Maldivian wedding ceremony — there is no officiousness in it at all, you can also leave a pile of papers at home. Weddings in the Maldives are exclusively informal, so here, as nowhere else in the world, the phrase — love is all ages.

Standard wedding ceremonies

If you are planning to organize a celebration on exotic islands, you will find a traditional set of services:

dhoni boat;
garlands of bright, fresh flowers;
instead of classical clothes for the celebration, the newlyweds are offered brightly colored wedding suits, traditional in the Maldives;
orchestra of local drummers;
ceremonial decoration of the room.

In addition, the newlyweds are accompanied by a ceremony steward.

How to get married in the Maldives

If we talk about standard wedding packages in hotels, the newlyweds are prepared separately on the wedding day. After all the preparations, they go to the altar. The man walks, and the bride is offered romantic transportation. When the couple is reunited, they are sprinkled with flowers and rice, the steward makes a short, solemn speech in which he calls on the elements to seal the marriage of two loving people. This is followed by the exchange of rings, vows and a romantic kiss.

After the official part of the celebration, the couple goes on a symbolic, romantic journey around the island, where a festive picnic awaits them. In the evening, the couple takes a cruise on a yacht. The couple spends the night in a luxurious room, or, if you wish, you can rent a bungalow located on the beach.

Original wedding ceremonies

If your life’s passion is diving or you just want to organize an original wedding ceremony, Maldives is the best place for it. Underwater weddings are common here, with professional diving instructors officiating and silent fish as witnesses. As for wedding outfits, they can be national costumes for a romantic celebration, traditional wedding clothes or ordinary wetsuits. The boat takes the newlyweds to a picturesque lagoon, where everything necessary for diving and ceremony is prepared. The altar is set right at the bottom of the lagoon, the celebration takes place in silence, this is its peculiarity and certain charm. Just imagine how romantic and especially tender will be the first marital kiss under water. The unofficial part of the celebration continues on the shore, the spouses are waiting for a trip around the atoll and a picnic.

There is another scenario for organizing the celebration — a seaplane is rented for the ceremony. However, it should be taken into account that the plane will not be in the air, but parked on the water, right in the center of the amazing lagoon. Taking into account the festivity of the event, the plane is decorated with garlands, ribbons — such a kind of ceremony hall, organized right on the water, looks unusual and spectacular.
