Thai Vows

The beautiful white beach of Dusit Thani vouched to be the perfect venue to host the Thai Water Ceremony – the traditional Thai wedding. Britto dressed in a tuxedo flown in from Austria and Sasikala in a designer gown with crystal embellishments, looked gorgeous as a couple. They were guided to the wedding venue by Lanna Parade with Sabad Chai Drum performers, a celebratory dance in Thailand. Lush blue-green waters of the Indian Ocean served as the perfect backdrop for the breathtaking pink Cherry Blossom mandap festooned with swirling twigs full of flowers. The walkway to this charismatic mandap was nothing less than magical with vintage carved drums holding dreamy floral arrangements of white and pink hydrangeas, orchid and phalaenopsis. A monk blessing ceremony, by 5 monks was conducted with the couple adhering to the traditional Thai rituals. After the blessing ceremony, the couple’s parents initiated the water ceremony by garlanding the couple, binding the couple through a sacred thread and by pouring the sacred water from the conch shell over their hands.
