Kirthega & Dushan were married in Colombo, Sri Lanka. It was a big, beautiful wedding: three days of ceremonies and rituals, sometimes solemn, other times uplifting and emotional, but always full of life and color. After each day the couple would return to their homes to prepare for the following day, and so it went until they were formally wed.

What follows is just a small slice of their wedding: just a few hours before the first day of formalities. We wandered through Galle Fort in the incredible heat, right up until the sun wilted into the sea.
