The heads of bride and bridegroom are brought close together with the help of joined loops of Sai Mongkon. The significance being that two people with have individual identities travel with same fate.
The wedding ceremony continues with the lighting of candles and incense by the bride and groom. The ceremony is soon taken over by the Head Monk, blessing the bride, groom and wedding party by sprinkling the holy water.
