Almost every time we walk along this beach, there is a wedding going on. I think these are arranged with the restaurants or the nearby resorts, since they are always in the same place and there is always a flower and gauze covered archway set up with a small dining table nearby. You can usually spot the bride and groom getting their pictures taken here, as well.
In spite of the weather, today was no different. Today’s wedding was interrupted by the storm, so we got to see the bride and groom at the Beach Bar restaurant when we ducked in for cover. The bride was sitting in the restaurant with tropical flowers adorning her hair, wearing a gorgeous white wedding dress with all the fabric piled up on her chair to keep it from getting soaked in the growing pools of rainwater. Like us, she and her wedding party were stuck inside until the rain stopped, looking pretty put out over the whole thing, and I can hardly blame them. So if you are planning a wedding in Thailand, you’d best check the forecast and take that ‘chance of thunder storms’ warning very seriously before picking a date.
