I am planning an upcoming wedding ceremony next month between an Australian man and his Thai bride and although they want something very simple, I want to incorporate what I can in the way of traditional Thai rituals. One that I've found is called the White Thread Ceremony – ‘Phiti Bai Sri Su Kwan. White threads are linked to the wrists of the bride and groom and the thread is torn on the side until it breaks. Whoever has the longest piece is supposed to be the one whose love is deepest!There is also Sai Sin - where relatives and friends tie pieces of white string, ‘sai sin’, around the wrist of the couple to wish them good luck. These string bracelets are meant to be kept on for at least 3 days to benefit from the good luck bestowed.
