Here comes the groom,
This is the song for you.
Now, at the break of dawn,
We rise to the place of celebration.
Holding up high, the wedding flowers
The groom is coming.
With the achar as a witness
Granting his good wishes
According to tradition.
Holding up the umbrella high,
As we journey through places bright
This day is the perfect day
No better to be chosen.
The procession is coming with our gifts,
Offerings for the parents of the bride.
Weaving in and out as one,
We come to the place of celebration.

Soat Mun - Receiving Blessings from the Monks
Out of respect and reverence for the monks, we ask that you remain
silent while the bride and groom receive their blessings during this
ceremony. Traditionally, three to five monks or as many as seven
will invoke blessings for the new couple, which are chosen
specifically for the couple by the monks.
