Wedding rings and thai traditions .
Q.I went through the buddhist marriage ceremony with my wife about a year ago and we did all the traditional thai stuff including buying her some traditional thai gold jewelry. We recently went through the civil marriage ceremony. I am thinking of buying her, or us, a wedding ring. I know that wedding rings are not a standard Thai tradition but I was wondering if I could make the gift a cultural hybrid somehow. Maybe an engraving of a traditional Thai wedding wish on the inside of the ring for instance. Any ideas anyone?
A.As a Thai woman, she will appreciate the gold. However, while she might accept the ring as an attempt to honor your traditions and culture, it will never mean the same to her as it does to you. Get yourself a wedding ring and get her a gold necklace. Make sure both are Thai (not 18k western junk). She'll be happy to see you wearing Thai gold. I have to disagree with the universality of this point Tchiowa. Yui is very keen on us both having wedding rings. Her parents, both Thai of course, wear wedding rings which I guess has something to do with it. If I was to offer her a necklace instead, I am sure she would be insulted.
