A teachers’s son is getting married! Another Thai wedding

preparing for a wedding

Attended the wedding of one of the school’s teacher’s son. Very different than in America. Had a reception at the groom’s house the night before (I’m guessing the bride had another reception at her parents house at the same time). Then another early morning breakfast reception at 7am. Eventually after much ceremony for the groom, the entire party danced it’s way through the village to the bride’s house. Again, more ceremony (others listened on the loud speaker and ate more). Then after it was all over, headed back to the groom’s house for lunch. A long, long day. And I’ve two weddings next weekend.
