In south-west India, on the Malabar Coast, lies God's own country - Kerala. The state is filled with inland water bodies and is known for its sprawling backwaters. Kerala is an ideal place to tie the knot in a romantic ceremony and its beautiful landscapes are at par (if not better) than many places around the world. If you decide to plan your wedding in Kerala, the first thing to zero in on is what kind of natural setting/theme you would prefer. And luckily, you will be spoiled for choice.
