Traditional Lanna Weddings in Thailand

by auburn January 18, 2016 November 13, 2019

The curious and ardent traveller will realise, rather rapidly, that dominant differences exist among cultures, especially in the manner in which marriage rituals are practiced. While many rituals are derived from the historical and cultural context of the community, it is always an intriguing experience to discover the reasons and justifications behind each ritual, no matter how interesting, unique or bizarre it may be. While exploring and discovering the natural beauty and cultural heritage of former Siam, tourists can also learn about the traditional Lanna weddings that take place in the country. A further option is to opt for a truly iconic destination wedding and tie the knot while following traditions and customs of a Lanna wedding.

A Chiang Mai Wedding can be organised by a couple visiting Thailand by choosing a Thai wedding planner who will provide you with an array of options. Such packages offer couples the advantage of convenience and no hassle. Alternatively, resorts such as Anantara Chiang Mai Resort also offer a variety of wedding packages and couples can select a package based on their budget and preference.

The dawn of a traditional Lanna wedding is marked by making morning offerings in the form of food and flowers to Buddhist monks. This is followed by the monks imparting their blessings on the marriage. A traditional practice of making merit is also followed whereby couples release birds and fish that were formerly in captivity.

The wedding itself will be complete with northern Thai music, an authentic feast after the ceremony as well as performances of ethnic dances. A traditional wedding will also feature traditional Thai jewellery, worn by the bride and the setting off of KomLoi which are fire balloons that are believed to expel bad luck.

Symbolic Marriages in Maldives

by CatalinaC Forbes December 28, 2015 November 13, 2019

The Maldives resembles a cluster of glittering diamonds studding a turquoise blanket of ocean. This is fitting as it is one of the top choices for destination weddings. In Maldives, romance is always in the air. Take a stroll along the beach at sunset to witness a mesmerising sky lighting up in fiery shades and follow it up with candlelit dinner on the beach under the stars. If you fancy an indulgence, book a luxury cruise and enjoy some top notch food and drink along with entertainment and a complete array of modern amenities laid on. If a rejuvenating massage is your idea of holiday pampering, visit the in house spa at PER AQUUM Niyama Maldives.

Symbolic marriages are also a popular tradition in the Maldives. A symbolic wedding simply allows a couple the opportunity to acknowledge their commitment to each other and does not impose any legal constraints. Married couples may choose to renew marriage vows, while unmarried couples may use this special ritual to make a promise or declare their love for each other.

The Maldives provides the ideal setting for a symbolic wedding; pristine sandy beaches with the Indian Ocean stretching beyond. Most resorts are prepared to create beautifully adorned wedding pavilions finished with traditional local touches. Services are carried out by a minister who is an ‘Island Chief’; a traditional Maldivian wedding would be officiated by an Island Chief. The service can be as low key or as flamboyant as you wish. Celebration cakes, culinary creations that maybe local, international or both, champagnes and cocktails can be rolled out for your magical day. The couple will be presented with a symbolic wedding certificate and ceremonies must be conducted following regulations laid out by the Ministry of Tourism.

The wind playfully runs through your hair, and in the air there is a sense of freedom, the promise of adventure and romance that will sweep you off your feet. The petals finally lead you to your destination; there by the shore stands the person who truly completes you, the perfect addition to this enchanting backdrop, awaiting your presence, eager to embark in this new chapter of love in an island paradise where time seems to stand still.

by Fritzjames Stephen June 19, 2015 November 13, 2019

Whether it is a honeymoon destination one seeks or a romantic getaway, the Indonesian island of Bali is a wonderful choice. While other similar destinations such as the Maldives are wonderful, Bali offers a unique experience, especially for couples who wish to immerse themselves in the culture and traditions of the destination they visit. The island of Bali is idyllic and beautiful as well as aesthetically intriguing with areas such as Ubud boasting of the artistic pulse of the island. For a truly exquisite honeymoon, opt for a resort renowned for its spa facilities such as The Laguna Resort & Spa Bali and unwind after a hectic wedding. Enjoy the laid back atmosphere of the island and explore Bali at your own place while staying in one best beach resort Bali after another.

During daytime, one romantic thing to do in Bali is to explore the multitude of islands near mainland with a luxury catamaran cruise. A cruise would be complete with all the facilities and small luxuries one pleases and it would also provide honeymooners with the opportunity to witness Bali from a different perspective. Another wonderful option is to explore one of the villages during the day and trek through the rice fields and opt for a few hours at the spa to rejuvenate one’s tired bodies.

Wrap up an exciting day with a peaceful yoga session or enjoy a horse drawn carriage ride at sunset along the beach so as to witness the magnificent sunsets the island is famous for. As the cool ocean winds blow inland, a candlelit dinner near the ocean would be a marvellous end to a truly romantic evening.

The multitude of romantic things that can be engaged in when in Bali is numerous and given the natural scenic beauty and diverse Balinese terrain and landscape, it is no surprise that Bali is a haven enjoyed by all those who visit.
