By VIJENTHI NAIR BAILAND


THE air of love and romance filled the skies above Kuala Lumpur Tower as seven lucky couples pledged their vows on the open deck of the tower on the auspicious 08.08.08 on Friday.

The couples’ marriage was witnessed by about 200 guests solemnised by national registrars.

Around them were beautifully arranged red daisies while rose petals were strewn on the red carpet.

Unforgettable: The seven couples posing for a group photo after the wedding ceremony.

A helicopter was also seen circling the tower to get aerial shots of the memorable event. All were later ushered downstairs to a banquet dinner.

KL Tower chief executive officer Datuk Zulkifli Mohamad said people nowadays were moving away from traditional ceremonies and looking for unique ways to say “I do”.

“We are trying to promote wedding tourism in support of the Visit Malaysia Year campaign as we see a demand in this industry and view it as a good economic feature.

On top of the world: A couple exchanging rings during their wedding ceremony as the other couples and guests look on at the open deck of the KL Tower.

“We are working with travel agents and wedding planners internationally to promote our services and encourage couples to come to Malaysia for a romantic wedding and honeymoon.
