The
Thai wedding is a living kaleidoscope of music and dance,
reflecting the beauty and grace of Thai culture. A sacred
institution that has evolved and thrived for thousands of years.
The wedding can take place in a number of settings. Typically a
private garden or on a beach at sunset. The perfect setting to
realize your dream of a sunset tropical beach, garden wedding with
Thailand’s specialists in outdoor weddings.
There
are a number of ways the ceremony can be conducted. Firstly,
before the wedding the couple can embark on a photo session that
can take place somewhere like an elephant camp (traditional
weddings in the past used elephants) Secondly,
the bride and groom may pray at a Buddhist temple before attending
the wedding.
The
wedding proper begins with the groom, accompanied by the
celebrant, leading the colorful "Long Drum Parade" across
the garden or beach to where the vows will take place. Before the
altar, the groom is joined by the bride. Dressed in a traditional, close-fitting,
brightly colored Thai silk outfit she has been hidden nearby.
The celebrant then addresses the bride and groom, and guests. To
the traditional Thai music, the couple solemnly pronounces their
vows and exchange rings. The cake is cut and champagne toasts
(that can be accompanied by fireworks) are made.
Invited Monks chant prayers of health, happiness
and prosperity for the wedding couples’ marriage. In return, the
couple present the monks with alms and food. The bride and groom
then kneel together, and a holy string is draped from one persons
head to the other, forming a circle and connecting the couple.This
symbolizes their spiritual union. Flower garlands are presented
and powder is placed on the forehead. They then Wai by clasping
their palms together in the traditional prayer-like gesture while
one by one the guests pour a conch shell full of sacred water over
the couple's hands while saying a blessing for good luck. Gifts of
either envelopes containing money, or presents that have been
placed in a basket beforehand are now checked by the bride’s
mother. The ceremony is completed with the newlyweds planting a "Love Tree " at as a gesture life of love.The newlyweds are then returned to their hotel room.
