Thai cultural wedding ceremony
Nowadays, wedding ceremonies have been shortened to suit the current social conditions and lifestyles of people, but they still maintain the Thai traditions that have been passed down. According to Thai traditions, something that is indispensable in auspicious ceremonies for the auspiciousness of life is the Buddhist ceremony. It is considered a merit-making ceremony for the bride and groom as well as their families. This includes the preparation of the Khan Mak and the Khan Mak procession, which the groom's side is responsible for bringing to the bride's family on the wedding day, and the proposal ceremony, an engagement ceremony in which the groom must put a ring on the bride's side.

Another ceremony that brings tears to the eyes of the bride and groom is the water pouring ceremony. It is a ceremony in which the beloved elders give blessings to the bride and groom to start their married life. It is an important ceremony that cannot be missed because it shows respect to parents. Showing respect to elders is the ceremony of receiving respect from elders. It is considered a way for the bride and groom to entrust themselves to the bride and groom. The wedding ceremony is another important tradition in which the bride and groom must pay respect to their parents for good fortune. Then the parents give blessings to the bride and groom.

Western wedding ceremony
Western wedding ceremony or Christian wedding ceremony, although it looks like a simple ceremony, but there are still many steps in the ceremony. The bride and groom must submit a request to the church to perform the wedding ceremony. They also have to prepare documents such as documents from the marriage training course, documents from baptism, etc. Including the various elements of the wedding ceremony, there are few details. Whether it's the wedding ring, the representative holding the wedding ring must be a boy under 13 years old, the representative holding the flower will be a girl aged 3-7 years old, holding the bouquet in front of the bridal procession, the representative lighting candles for the bride and groom, and another important thing that cannot be missed is the priest. He is a priest who will perform the wedding ceremony for the bride and groom perfectly. A wedding ceremony in a Christian church will start with lighting candles, playing music, then the bride walks into the ceremony with the father of the bride walking beside her arm in arm to pass on the care to the groom to be responsible from now on. The priest starts the ceremony by reading the book of life partners and the bride and groom must recite their vows. After that, they exchange rings and light candles with the priest as a blessing.

The final ritual is tossing the bride's bouquet to the unmarried guests at the wedding, which single girls usually wait to receive from the bride as a sign of good fortune.
