Afternoon: Monk Blessing / Wedding Ceremony at the Temple
A sacred blessing by Thai Buddhist Monks is the perfect way for couples seeking a once in a lifetime experience for their relationship. A blessing is an attempt to contact and share that which is good, particularly in a divine sense. One is trying to make contact with the force of goodness itself and to share this ‘energy’ so that it might pass on some of that energy to those present
In addition to receiving a Thai Buddhist Blessing, we offer the opportunity to have a ring exchange ceremony for couples seeking to revitalize their marriage or start anew. A truly enchanting experience to be cherished for a lifetime.
Initial Offering
The afternoon Thai Buddhist Blessing Ceremony begins with a bow followed by offerings to the Monks outside the temple at a shrine especially setup for this special day. These prepared offering packages required in order to receive blessings from the Monks. As monks are not allowed to eat after noon, the afternoon initial contribution packages do not include food.
Enter the Temple
Following the blessing chant, you will then bow before proceeding into the temple to begin the prayers. Immersed in incense and candle light, you will be seated in front of the Monks to present the second offering. Once accepted, the Monks will then begin the prayers with beautiful chants that can be heard throughout the temple.
*Exchanging of Rings / Vows (Optional Tradition Wedding Ceremony)
If the couple chooses to have a ring ceremony, the couple with be given flower garlands to adorn on one another. It is also common for the couple to be garnished with a lei of flowers that are tied together with a piece of string to be placed on the heads of the couple to signify a union in the relationship. The couple will then take turns marking each other with three white spots on the forehead that represent love, life, and luck. Upon finishing, the couple will proceed to exchange vows and finally the rings.
Holy Water Blessing
In order to purge the relationship of any bad spirits, the couple will join hands in pouring holy water from a small bottle into a bronze bowl that will be handed to the Head Monk. The transferring of the holy water represents a cleansing the relationship. The Monk will then give a final blessing with a light sprinkle of holy water.
