    Ben Hurling Sunday, 30 June 2013 07:17 PM

    Jimmy D Sunday, 30 June 2013 08:18 PM

    Bro, may be you haven't heard but that is the custom all around the world. Not only in Sri Lanka

    Jaffna tamil Sunday, 30 June 2013 04:44 PM

    Why would an Amy cobral be in army uniform on his wedding.? It does not sound normal to me.

    Ice mama Sunday, 30 June 2013 11:19 PM

    Rev. Senior said this:-

    "When al the races have blended
    And the voice of strife is done
    To rise to the call of a single bugle
    And march to the beat of a single drum"

    Suba Anagathayak oba depalata..

    Karunawathee Sunday, 30 June 2013 11:48 PM

    May God bless you both. True love doesn't have barriers.

    Lal.Fernando. Monday, 01 July 2013 12:06 AM

    I wish this young couple, happiness, health and love and peace for the rest of their lives.

    Bin kunda Monday, 01 July 2013 12:57 AM

    Why not? It is customary to wear the uniform at a wedding ceremony. If the church allows and there's no objection from the bride, why should it worry others?

    nalaka Monday, 01 July 2013 04:05 AM

    you havent seen a military wedding in all your life

    sal Monday, 01 July 2013 05:00 AM

    sadly thse kind of things shows how the militarization and sinhalization are being further entrenched in the north east

    kumar Monday, 01 July 2013 08:06 AM

    Is it worth to put in news items? Govt. propaganda wa against Tamils.

    Tamil Monday, 01 July 2013 01:46 PM

    It looks like a forced wedding. If it is a Christian Wedding - Why is the girl does not wear white dress?!
    And his Uniform says everything about the Sri Lankan Armys! It is just a annoying topic. Who knows the girl could be a Singalese aswell and its all about the SL Government to push their Image!
    So Tamil people - It could be a face news!

    weha Sunday, 30 June 2013 03:26 PM

    This is some sort of eye wash i guess. just to show the international public that everything is just normal. but anyways congratz to the couple and hope they have a happy wedded life.

    kandykolla Sunday, 30 June 2013 01:57 PM

    Congratulations....!! But intermarriage between all races and religions do happen and it`s not a miracle. If the above bride was a former rebel, now that is news...!! I don`t know why this event gained such publicity ??

    DHA Sunday, 30 June 2013 02:03 PM

    If not for dirty politics this beautiful nation never would've gone into war.....beautiful pics

    Grace. Sunday, 30 June 2013 02:34 PM

    Wish them health,wealth and all the good in life.

    Semasinghe Sunday, 30 June 2013 02:35 PM

    Congratulations on your marriage. May you have a fruitful life. you two are really really wonderful.

    Sammym Sunday, 30 June 2013 02:42 PM

    Best wishes to the young and lovely couple for a long and happy married life and may they be trend setters.

    Gemba Sunday, 30 June 2013 03:00 PM

    Very nice. I hope they are very happy. Congratulations. Love knows no bounds.

    wise Sunday, 30 June 2013 03:02 PM

    congrats,good example.but the racists of this country have different book with destructive teachings.

    Me Sunday, 30 June 2013 03:07 PM

    My god bodu Bala will make this also another issue,

    Gemba Sunday, 30 June 2013 03:12 PM

    Lucky man, pretty girl - goes to show that under all the false titles of race, religion etc. we all belong to the one human race. Congratulations to this beautiful young couple, for a long and happy marriage. A good example to preachers of hate.

    unchikun Sunday, 30 June 2013 01:52 PM

    "Till death do us apart" or only till the elections. Is this the first time a serviceman marries a Tamil in Sri Lanka?

    saccagavesi Sunday, 30 June 2013 03:34 PM

    it should be Till death do us part

    Observer Sunday, 30 June 2013 03:46 PM

    CONGRATULATIONS to the newly weds, but why is it in the news? One human weds another?

    Gus Gemba Sunday, 30 June 2013 03:56 PM

    Congrats to you both

    Shan Sunday, 30 June 2013 04:02 PM

    Love crosses any boundary. Best wishes for a happy wedded life.

    N Jayanetti Sunday, 30 June 2013 04:02 PM

    Subha Mangalam, Malli and Thangachchi

    Francis Sunday, 30 June 2013 04:03 PM

    If an Indian army officer sacrificing his post to marry a Sr Lanakan woman, why cannot this happen which we want to see more and more to consolidate the understanding and strengthen the unity.

    kosala Sunday, 30 June 2013 04:08 PM

    Good luck buddy!!!!!!

    kane Sunday, 30 June 2013 04:09 PM
