Our Royal Northern
Wedding Schedule
Your wedding starts early in the morning, like all Thai weddings
at about 4:45 am
We will pick you up and I will take you to the morning
market, where we will choose the food and floral offerings for
the monks. Then we will go back to my house and prepare the offerings
and give the offerings outside my house (shop). Don't worry,
I will instruct you in the proper procedure of monk offerings
and explain it all to you. Then when all the offerings are given
and any blessing are received, we will relax and try some of
the Thai delectations we found in the early morning market. This
can, if you wanted, all can be done on your behalf. We really
find most couples find it is worth the early morning.
Then you will return to your hideaway, where you can
relax or rest. I will return later, with the hair dresser. Best
you and your guests have a late brunch or an early luncheon as
we will pick up you all about 1:00 pm, to go to the temple for
a formal ceremonial Buddhist blessing of the wedding. At the
temple we will release the nine fish and birds for merit. From
there we head off to the wedding venue, where the knot tying
ceremony will be preformed and the couple will arrive about 4:00
pm.
Then the wedding parade will begin. Followed by the knot tying
ceremony, all finishing about dusk in time for some garden photos
hopefully.
Then the feast begins! Offering your guests the rare
opportunity to experience real Lanna Thai cuisine served in true
Lanna style. (Sorry mom they made me eat with my fingers) Of
course we have Thai dancers and live musicians too.
The evening of drinking, eating and enjoying is highlighted
by a professional pyrotechnics (fireworks) display to celebrate
your wedding.
After dark your guest are welcome to partake in the traditional
releasing of fire balloons for luck and prosperity (Except in
dry season, as we are in the mountains)
Then more conversation and time together before the guest
are returned to the city by the vans so the newly weds may relax
and enjoy the start of their new life together.
We normally wind the wedding party by 11:30pm. If you wish
to party loudly after that we will transport back to the city
where wilder parties can continue in local bars till the early
morning.
