Should you wish to have your Christian wedding in Thailand it can take the form of a Catholic, Pentecostal or Episcopal wedding. We have listed each below:

CATHOLIC WEDDING

Having a Christian wedding in Thailand as a Catholic would mean that the wedding would occur under the Sacrament of Matrimony. This is one the seven sacraments. Such a Catholic wedding would normally consist of at least 3 biblical readings an exchange of rings and exchanging of vows. This would then be followed by the Prayer of the Faithful and a nuptial blessing followed by prays and music. Catholic weddings have always been very rich in traditions as it has always primarily been a worship service signifying the calling together of a man and a woman for the purpose of marriage in the presence of both family and friends.

A Catholic wedding is never really a private ceremony but more of a public ritual which is celebrated in a church building or other indoor facility. There are exceptions however to the rule. Would you prefer to have your nuptials outdoors, on a beach or even on a hill top in Chiang Mai?

Weddings normally take place in the morning or early afternoons. Catholic weddings generally start with a Nuptial Mass and couples are encouraged to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation before receiving the Sacrament of Matrimony. Usually a Catholic wedding in Thailand would not be scheduled on Holy Thursday, Holy Saturday and Good Friday or during the regular scheduled hours of Mass. Some believe that a church is the best place for a Catholic wedding. The choice would be yours. When any marriage occurs between Catholics of mixed rites, it is normally the rite of the groom that would determine the service to be used. The power to transfer the rites from the groom's church to that of the bride would rest with the Church. Before such a wedding you need to tell us your needs and requirements so that we are able to advise you accordingly.

REQUIREMENTS
Requirements For a Catholic wedding certain requests are usually made by the church as there are no set rules by the church. Each diocese would have their requirements to perform a Catholic wedding in Thailand. It is however normally required that both the bride and the groom provide a copy of their Baptismal Certificate. The Catholic partner would be required to promise his or her continued observe of the Catholic faith and to raise their children after the wedding with the same Catholic values. This promise is made in the presence of the partner.

PROTESTANT WEDDING

There would be few if any restrictions regarding the location and time of your marriage, except during major religious holidays, such as Christmas and Easter. Protestants who have been previously married or divorced are able to re-marry, although some denominations would require a release from their Church officials in order that the marriage to take place. Should you be divorced, bring with the original divorce certificate with you to Thailand as it would be required when the marriage is registered. Should your spouse have passed away, a death certificate may also be required for marriage registration. Contact a reputable law firm in Bangkok to advise you as to which documents would be required for marriage registration.
