Join us as we recount the magical moments of their special union.

The air was filled with anticipation as friends and family gathered to revel in the joyous occasion. Vibrant hues of orange, yellow, and pink adorned the decor, reflecting the rich heritage of both Sri Lanka and Cuba.

O Luxe Design transformed the venue into a dreamlike setting, with meticulous attention to detail evident in every corner. The highlight of the day was the mandap, nestled beneath the shade of the famed tree in the mansion's yard. It served as a breathtaking backdrop for the couple's union, symbolizing strength, growth, and the intertwining of their two cultures.
