FYI.....you don't need to go to Trang at that time of the year to have a wet wedding on the beach....you can do all that same stuff (i.e. the parade thru the Streets and Elephants on the beach) at ANY time of the year in Phuket.

FYI...in 1999, some friends of Tracie's got married in Phuket that way and Tracie attended it...and they do special beach weddings at all the major hotels in Phuket...where they organize a parade with dancing girls thru the street...with the bride and groom on separate Elephants...and then the parade of dancers, drums and Elephants goes down onto the beach...where you can get married right at the waters edge. The hotel will arrange for everything from the minister to the parade, the ceremony and the banquet, and the honeymoom suite at the hotel...all in a package deal at very reasonable prices. If you get married on the beach, all you have to do is take a quick dip in the surf after you say your vows...or you can have the ceremony back at the hotel pool and go in there too.

I edited this beach wedding video for our friends for their beach wedding...and it was a fabulous ceremony. If you want a beach or pool wedding...thats the way to do it. Forget about these "underwater wedding" companies...those are for scuba divers only.

We wanted to marry there this year and last year we talked to the people organizing the event. MK is right, it is an event for scuba divers only. Many, many people are interested in this event every year and only a few couples are chosen. They accept only experienced divers.

The main focus of the event is a kind of festival around the marriage which takes place within the city of Trang including an elephant ride and a parade. Not the way we wanted to celebrate...

Unfortunately....this promotion is very misleading (for us wetlook fans)...cos in all the years this has been going ( at least the last 7 years) and I have captured numerous tv clips on this and lots of pics...there has never really been anything decent at these events that any of us would want to see. Each year they post loads of pics..and 80% of the time the couples are wearing wetsuits or swimsuits....and almost never any lady wears a wedding dress. All they do is use a wetsuit or white swimsuit with a veil.

This is really an event for "scuba" fans...not for wetlook fans.

Valentimes Day Trang, Thailand UW wedding alert!

Every valentimes day there is a mass underwater wedding that takes place in Trang, Thailand. People from all over the world attend this event. Sometimes one can get some fair underwater and surface wetlook from either news video clips/pics from places like your local news, http://CNN.com, or http://news.yahoo.com (look under 'news photos.' Or rarely one may find good wetlook at the official website referenced in the link above. Thai Air's website used to have a pretty cool video a few years back but no new stuff lately there.

Oddly enough, the http://underwaterwedding.com/ site has actually very FEW underwater pics of the underwater weddings. Letters sent to them inquiring about possibly buying videos or pics of UW weddings have gone unanswered. However, one never knows what may appear in the future for one can hope. :-)
