Freedom to choose your wedding theme


We would never have imagined seeing funeral objects being used as props at weddings, but this story has one clear takeaway.

Mr. Jakrut Namwised and Ms. Pornticha Ruengrum’s successful wedding ceremony proves that everyone has the freedom to choose wedding themes that suit their liking

This is true even if the décor isn’t considered mainstream or traditionally popular, but hold significant value to the couple. We wish the newlyweds a blissful marriage ahead.
