Most weddings can be described as
intimate, but when it comes to
Pakistani weddings, the word takes
on a whole new meaning. Almost
something from a fairy tale, a
Pakistani wedding embodies the
idea of trusting someone with your
heart entirely and hopes for that
“love at first sight” story that we all
know and adore.

15. Thai Wedding

16. Thai Wedding
A Thai wedding can be very
traditional and cultural, making it
exciting and fun. Before the wedding
day arrives, there will be a Buddhist
ceremony held during which the
couple will pay their respects to
bridal ancestry. Most often, nine
monks will be present during this
occasion, sitting with water in before
them.

17. Malaysian Wedding

18. Malaysian Wedding
During the ceremony, the bride
and groom sit together in front of
the wali or kadi, who will ask for
their consent to the marriage and
recite prayers from the Quran.
From there, the couple signs the
marriage contract, which is
sealed with a typically monetary
gift from the groom to the bride
called mas kahwin.

19. Indonesian Wedding

20. Indonesian Wedding
After the paperwork, the couple
performs a series of rituals,
including throwing betel nut
leaves at each other to ward off
evil spirits. Finally, they seek
blessings from their parents and
elders. Usually, this is followed
by a reception, as the couple
should eat together for the first
time as a married couple

21. Filipino Wedding

22. Filipino Wedding
Traditionally, these cultural weddings
are a celebration of two families
coming together rather than just the
two individuals. The strong family
influence, alluring attire like the
Barong and Filipiniana, and
traditional Tinikling folk dance are
just a few unique Filipino wedding
customs.
