Tying the Knot
After our birth, marriage is the most important event of our life.

It should be a day that you, and all those who love you, can always treasure.
Where should it be? Imagine a luscious paradise garden, sprinkled with traditional thatched cottages exquisitely carved like miniature temples... imagine an atmosphere of beauty and expectant calm, waiting to flower into nature's intense delights... imagine taking your first steps together as man and wife along the path that fate has decreed you will share… imagine walking hand in hand with your beloved along an empty pristine beach that stretches un-spoilt for miles in each direction under gracefully wheeling flocks of seabirds...
