Getting married is probably going to be the
biggest event in a man’s or woman’s life. It’s of the utmost importance that
the ceremony, which commemorates the life-changing moment, is carefully planned
to ensure the event is cherished forever.
With that being said, lots of couples choose to
have their wedding ceremonies held in Koh Samui. The Koh Samui weather, white sand beaches, romantic sunsets, warm
atmosphere, and other island features is what makes the tropical paradise an ideal
location for two people to be joined through holy matrimony.
However, regardless of the fact that the
idyllic setting for any wedding in a tropical destination would be moderately
warm, some love birds, especially the locals, prefer to have their wedding days
set during rainy season.
Planning such a special event during months
it’s expected to rain may sound a little irrational, or even foolish, but upon close
examination of the actual facts, as well as local traditions, it actually makes
perfect sense to get married on a rainy day!
First and foremost, dressing up in tuxedos and
other attire that traps in heat during a sunny day would make things unbearably
hot for the soon-to-be couple, as well as their guests. On the contrary,
hosting the event during rainy season, wherein the rain lasts anywhere from five
to thirty minutes, is recommended since the light rain showers help cool things
down.
Most travel guidebooks warn against having
vacations planned during rainy Koh Samui
weather because of risks of non-stop torrential rain and floods. Though
this does have some truth to it, locals say that such instances rarely occur,
and isn’t really as bad as many think.
The second reason to get married while it rains
is to actually get wet, mainly because water is an important element in most
especial occasions held in Thailand. At weddings, the more rain that hits the
skin of the future husband and wife, the better - water is believed to cleanse
and purify the body and soul, which thereby allows them to truly start new
lives as one.
Last reason is based on the fact that there
aren’t many tourists visiting the island when the Koh Samui weather is “bad”. With fewer non-guests in the vicinity,
the atmosphere will naturally become more romantic.
With all that said, future husbands-and-wives
can choose to have their weddings held at the magnificent ShaSa Resort &Residences. This premier commercial establishment can provide everything all
future couples will need to facilitate their very special day, and make it an everlasting
memory for everyone in attendance.
Furthermore, they also have some of the best rooms
and suites on the entire island, so twosomes can feel free to move on straight
to their honeymoons right after the nuptial.
