Congratulations to Edd and Dew

Congratulations and Happy Marriage Life!

Mom, Aunt Larb, Dad and the bride and groom.

Everyone woke up early to prepare themselves. Well, groom and bride went out for their make-up and such since 1AM, the time I went to bed. Around 6:30A we arrived near the bride's house, and set up the groom procession. After arrived at the bride's house, the ceremony started with Buddhist ceremony and was followed by wedding ritual. Interestingly, during the Buddhist ceremony there was a heavy rain (just in that area) for 20 minutes or so. Mom said, "the gods and goddesses bless the newlyweds with auspicious rain."

Luncheon took place at Sawadichai Hall (a multipurpose hall) in my junior high school. The event was simple fun and went well (but there were so many guests... ). In the evening, another party also started at home just in a smaller size for close friends and relatives.

Some photos:

The procession led by "Klong Yao" (literally means long drum) brand of students in the local elementary school.

Among relatives and friends, Jay Nuch carry a pair of fish-shaped snacks. All snacks and things are prepared in a pair.

The ceremony starts with the Buddhist ceremony and Monk Blessing.

After Buddhist ceremony and Monk Blessing, a wedding ritual starts with the agreement between elders of both sides on wedding money in cash, gold and jewelries.

Blessing from relatives and guests by tying "white thread" around the left wrist of the Bride and Groom. In picture, P' Hash is tying a white thread on Dew's left hand.
