Thai Water Pouring Ceremony & Buffet Lunch
11:00 am
1695 Phahonyothin Road, Khwaeng Chatuchak, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10900, Thailand
According to Thai tradition, the pouring of water is the most important part of the Thai wedding ceremony as it signifies the couple officially becoming husband and wife. Traditionally, this was all that was required to validate the marriage. During the ceremony, Dave and Alex will kneel together, and a holy string is draped from one head to the other, forming a circle and connecting the couple. This symbolizes their spiritual union. They will then place their hands together while sacred water is poured over their hands. Then we eat.
