The diverse makeup of the population in our region means that there is an equally diverse ethos in terms of culture and tradition. Although we constantly march towards progress and modernity, rituals that acknowledge our heritage is never more evident than during weddings. These are the occasions when our respective cultural ancestries come to the fore. For many, it is a time when they re-connect with their roots by seeking the advice of family elders on what to do and what not to, in order to start the marriage on a good  footing and to ensure matrimonial longevity and lasting happiness.

With conservation the rage nowadays, getting married at a heritage landmark is also gaining in popularity. Many find being a part of a historical significance enthralling. Couples with an affinity to such legacies can perhaps choose to tie-the-knot at a Unesco World Heritage site or maybe at a hotel with a storied past. These sites together with wedding practitioners are picking up on this trend and are coming up with packages that make it relatively trouble-free to get married. Needless to say, these locations also come with artistically-appealing backdrops for photography which are definitely selling points for having one’s wedding there.
