Traditional wedding celebrations in the Maldives usually follow a customized routine. The bride is required to be dressed in a white gown, usually made of satin or silk, whilst the groom is attired in an elegant suit. Upon coming together to be married, the couple is first required to go through a tree planting ceremony where they together plant a coconut palm which is meant to symbolize their undying love for each other. A band of local drummers are usually hired to play a traditional local dance tune. After this, the couple goes before the priest for the exchange of marriage vows.
Once the actual marriage rite is over, the local custom requires coconut water to be offered to the newly wedded couple. They then go on to cut the wedding cake. To celebrate this new bond, wedding guests are offered champagne and a sumptuous feast is laid out for the enjoyment of the couple and guests. Most wedding celebrations in the Maldives require the couple to dance together, paving the way for the rest of the guests to join in the festivities. Usually the wedding celebration area is decorated with colourful silk, balloons, flowers and ribbons adding to the vibrant atmosphere.
