Weddings in Goa

A Day to Cherish

In this slice of heaven come to earth, the most important day in a couple’s life is all the more memorable.

 

The Goan Christian wedding is the hallmark of the celebration that is the coming together of not just man and woman but their whole families. No expense is spared, no detail overlooked, no distant cousin several times removed uninvited. Food, feasting, drinking and dancing – such good things are to be expected in inordinate proportions.

 

 

Wedding tourism is becoming popular with couples flying in from across the world to exchange vows in nature’s cathedral.
