The ceremony is celebrated according to the local traditions with a dowry, exchange of vows and rings. The melodious drums of the local fishermen accompany the couple on their journey back to their villa. All the guests are invited to participate in toasting to the happiness of the couple with Kurumba local coconut, and to enjoy the drums ceremonial dances. In the evening a BBQ dinner will be served to the bride and groom, and the following day a coconut tree planting ceremony will be hosted for the happy couple.
