The Guinness world record for the most ushers to one groom was set by Arulanantham Suresh Joachim (Sri Lanka), who married Christa Rasanayagam (Canada) at Christ the King Catholic Church, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, accompanied by 47 groomsmen, aged between 2 and 63.
Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest underwater wedding, achieved by 261 divers who took part at the marriage ceremony between Francesca Colombi and Giampiero Giannoccaro (both Italy) at the Morcone beach, Capoliveri, Elba Island, Italy.
The bridegroom's son Hazi Azir Uddin told the Times of India his father had asked his children to help find him a new companion who would be able to look after him after his first wife died few years ago.
"It's not an easy job to find a bride for a 100-year-old. However by the grace of god, we have found a new mother," Mr Uddin said.
