THAI WEDDING DETAIL

CEREMONY INCLUDES
• Long drum parade
The wedding begins once the groom, accompanied by the celebrant, leads the colorful "Long Drum Parade" to where the vows will take place. At the entrance, two friends or relatives of the bride are holding a golden ribbon to block the way. After giving them a symbolic token, the groom gets to enter the venue.
 
• Engagement ceremony
The celebrant then addresses the bride’s family and guests. The bride enters the venue and the engagement begins. Gifts of either envelope containing money, or presents that have been placed in a basket beforehand are now checked by the bride’s mother or relative. Once all is agreed the groom presents the engagement ring to the bride.

• Buddhist ceremony
Invited Monks chant prayers of health, happiness and prosperity for the wedding couples’ marriage. In return, the couple presents the monks with alms and food.

• Watering ceremony
The bride and groom then kneel together, and a holy string is draped from one person’s 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.
