Many congratulations to one of our original sponsor children form 2005 Abdul Basith who married Fazra in Colombo last Thursday. We wish you both a happy and joyful life together. Ann, Abdul's sponsor commented on what a special day it was for her too.
Abdul thanks Ocean Stars for shaping his life journey in ways he could never really express. The day before the wedding was the Mehendi event where the bride has her hand covered in henna designs. The Mehendi celebration centred around the application of henna, is a significant pre-wedding ritual in many South Asian cultures. It symbolizes good fortune, prosperity, and love for the bride as she begins her married life. The ceremony is a vibrant and joyous occasion, often involving music, dancing, and the gathering of female relatives and friends.
