Buddhist Marriage
Ceremony

in a very simple manner and only close
friends and relatives are given invitation
to attend it. Usually, it is presided
over by the Buddhist lama (priest). Buddhist
marriage generally takes place at the
bride's residence. All the rites and rituals
are followed, which include demanding

is declared as husband wife. The newly
weds leave for their home either on the
same day or the next day.
