Destination Weddings in Asia

English novelist Joseph Conrad's first impressions of Asia were:

". . . the first sigh of the East on my face. That I can never forget. It was impalpable and enslaving, like a charm, like a whispered promise of mysterious delight."

Weddings are memorable when set among the world's largest continent's mysterious delights: high-altitude orchids, exotic butterflies, and 13 species of Birds of Paradise.

Malay is home to sun bears and Sri Lanka to purple-faced leaf monkeys. Camels trek into the Thar Desert; and endangered Irrawaddy freshwater dolphins swim the coast of Indochina.

Three rare Siamese crocodiles were sighted this year in Cambodia's Cardamom Mountain.

Asia's geographical wonders include East Asia's tallest volcano, Mt. Fuji; magestic peaks of the Himalayas and the southern Alps; and Tonle Sap lake waters in Cambodia, which flow in reverse during the monsoon.

Time working with art and charm have created the Great Wall of China; the Great Barrier Reef of Australia -- the world's largest living organism; the Flaming Cliffs of the Gobi Desert, and Tiger Leaping Gorge, the world's deepest gorge, from which begins Asia's longest river, the Yangtse.

Asia claims the world's highest climbing challenge, Mount Everest. Over a region where the borders of India, China, and Afghanistan converge, towers the vast Pamirs plateau, also known as the Roof of the World.

A wedding in one of the countries of Asia offers more than a new travel experience - it offers an array of backdrops that spread as far and as wide as is the rising and the setting of the sun on this magnificient continent..
