The ceremony takes place with the bride, groom and guests seated on the floor around two paa khwan -- arrangements made up of flowers and white strings to be blessed during the ceremony. The ceremony is officiated by a mo phone, or lay community elder, who offers chants and blessings to unify the couple, family and community, and to call back all the individual khwan, or spirits, in order to make the person complete. The ceremony continues with more blessings for the bride and groom, as the guests tie the white strings to the bride's and groom's wrists. The mat khene, or string-tying, provides an opportunity to share a personal message and blessing with the bride and groom.

The easiest route to take will be from Exit 49, taking the back road behind Wendy’s until you get to County Road 172, or the Baptist church sign upon the turn. You will take that right and go straight all the way until you see 3 stone bears and a gate to the entrance. I will have a wedding sign. So there’s no way to get lost!
