Fifty Chinese couples marry in mass ceremony in Sri Lanka – Record-Breaking Mass Matrimony in an Island Paradise

An astounding fifty couples of Chinese ethnicity were involved in a ceremony of biblical proportions in Sri Lanka, a nation that is beginning to rise to the top of the world’s most popular holiday destinations. Although all of the couples ended up getting married, not all of them were young couples entering matrimony for the first time. There were many seasoned married-couples present as well, who were re-dedicating their marriages.

Chinese tourists account for more than 13% of Sri Lanka’s average of two million annual visitors, and are an important demographic for various providers of accommodation, such as Kithala Resort, one of many a Tissamaharama hotel you can find in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka. China has also contributed heavily to the development of the nation’s infrastructure, and Colombo is a significant contributor to Beijing’s ‘One Belt One Road’ project.
