Traditional Thai wedding is very complex. The most interesting part of the wedding ceremony is a procession of "Khan Mark" (offering items) as relatives and friends of the groom, dance their way to the room of the bride with their hands full of offering. This will be led by “Long Drum Parade”. The wedding ceremony begins in the morning with the chanting of monks, then the couple and relatives offer food to the monks who, after their meal, will chant again while the senior monk will go around to bless the couple and the whole gathering with holy water before they leave the island. At the end, the traditional wedding comes to final stage of ceremony. It is called ROD-NAM-SANG, and is the main event where both the bride and the bridegroom's family get together. They witness this important event. Both the bridge and the bridegroom will sit close together on the floor (or small stage) with their hands held in WAI style (like the way we pay respect to the Lord Buddha). A flower chain connects the hands. The most senior person will act as the leader of the event. He or she will start to soak the couple's hands in water and wish them good luck. The water is contained in a conch shell container (ROD is soak, NAM is water, and SANG is conch shell). Then, the parents and others will do the same. Usually, only selected people like close friends and close relatives will be invited to the ROD-NAM-SANG event. Please do not dress in BLACK colors. For Thais, the black color is reserved for a sad event like a funeral.
