Buddhist priest conducting prayers for the couples
While y'all may think marriage may just be exchange of vows on normal grounds well Buddhists think otherwise with weddings taking a more funeral pattern.
10 couples yesterday in Thailand got marriedvinside a coffin.
The wedding ritual conducted by Buddhist monks allows couples to eliminate bad luck by saying their wedding vows inside a coffin .
Participants made offerings to the monks before taking their
places side-by-side in the large pink coffin – floral bouquets held to their chests.
The monks then draped a large white sheet across them –
representing their death – and performed chants
usually reserved for funerals. The prayers ended with blessings for a
new life.
