Weddings in Phuket (blog closed)

These are just some of the Weddings that I was involved in when I was working at Cape Panwa Hotel in Phuket. 

Thank you for the memories.

Jo and Yvonne

Jo and Yvonne told me that that they were going to have a very quiet wedding and it all got very busy and then everyone was coming. 

We were setting up when the families began to arrive.

Then Yvonne arrived out the back - where was Jo?

He came quickly afterwards. Then the entertainment began.

Yvonne arrived with her father. I added some words for the families which could not speak English -  but it was met with smiles and obvious giggle where I got it wrong. Promises and rings were exchanged followed by a few kisses - the photographer kept asking for more!

Papers were signed.

Flower petals were thrown.

Jo and Yvonne left the beach and walked to Panwa House where they went upstairs and 'popped' a bottle. Jo resisting the temptation to give the bottle a shake!

Jo and Yvonne came down the stairs where they cut the cake 

- happily Yvonne did not cut Jo!

More photographs were taken and then the party began.

Congratulations Yvonne and Jo.

Scarlett and Ryan

Scarlett and Ryan chose to have their special day with us at Cape Panwa Hotel and Spa.

Much of it was worked out before they arrived and we just had some polishing to do when there were both there.

Ryan and Scarlett were from the UK but Scarlett's family were all from Asia so I quickly had to learn some words.

Well the words were shared and so were the rings - we had a small interval when we waited for the correct ring to be removed from one finger and placed on another.

We had a few kisses and then the paper was signed.

Then petals were thrown as the newlyweds walked from the place of wedding on the beach to have dinner at Panwa House.

Then photographs were taken.

Congratulations Scarlett and Ryan.

Cheryl and Paul

Paul arrived after a swift beer at the Bamboo Bar.

Then we proceeded to where the wedding was waiting for us - but we were a little worried about the rain - which never happened...

It was as the sun came down behind Panwa House.

Cheryl arrived and my telephone was swiftly put in my pocket - words which shared and promises are made to each other.

Thank you for choosing Cape Panwa Hotel and Spa for your special day.

Congratulations.

Ingrid and Ingmar

Ingrid and Ingmar had a special wedding on the beach at Cape Panwa Hotel and Spa - their children were there with them!

Ingmar and their son waited in Panwa House for Ingrid and their daughter.

Then Ingrid arrived. Chairs were placed and then drinks were brought to them.

Promises were made and kisses exchanged.

A small walk on the sand.

Followed by their family.

Then it was time to cut the cake.

And their son thought that the chocolate was the best!

Congratulations Ingrid and Ingmar.

Stuart and Katie

Katie and Stuart had a special day at Cape Panwa Hotel and Spa. Hearts were put on hold and fingers crossed as we watched the clouds roll in on the morning.

BUT we went for it as the clouds rolled away. The boys gathered on the beach and waited for the Katie and her father. 

The music began and Katie arrived. Words were said and promises were made.

Then it was time for the flowers - always a time I enjoy.

Then the hugs and the kisses were shared between them all - a lovely time - thank you.

Here is a compendium of the snapshots which I took and there are also 2 images on Instagram - timinphuket.

Congratulations Katie and Stuart.

Anita and Kevin

This was certainly a special day for a lovely couple.

We were ready for the couple on the beach and of course so was the boat.

Prepared to walk down the steps in Panwa House.

Exiting carefully to the music.

And then Anita arrives

 - words were shared and promises made...

and of course a photo in front of Panwa House with everyone who came...

A tender kiss is shared on the beach - with their new boat in the background.
