Beneath a canopy of old trees, a wedding party gathers—brocaded shoulders, jeweled belts, and soft silver saris shimmering like morning mist.
The bride steps into the forest hush, a single white note in green, while the groom and guardians stand proud in heirloom Kandyan attire.
They move together through leaves and laughter, a procession stitched with tradition and the easy joy of friends.
In a quiet moment, the world darkens around them and only their profiles glow—promise held between breaths.
Then light returns, and they walk on, smiling, carrying history forward hand in hand.
