Usually in the countryside, a marriage takes place at the age of 20 while in the city this may be late, up to 28-35. This depends on the readiness of the persons who want to enter into marriage. At the same times, nowadays most young people select their own marriage partners while arranged marriage is very rare.

In fact, the engagement ceremony must take place before the wedding, however, some couples may prefer to hold the engagement and wedding ceremony on the same day as a means of saving money. The engagement ceremony is usually done though the offering of an engagement ring to the girl while the wedding ceremony will be incomplete without the offering of Sin-sod which is the amount they demand.

The most interesting part of the wedding ceremony is a procession of Khan Mark (offering items) as relatives and friends of the groom dance their way to the house of the bride with their hand full of offerings.

The wedding ceremony begins in the morning with the chanting of monks, then the couple and relatives offer food to the monks who, after their meal, will chant again while the senior monk will go around to bless the couple the whole gathering with holy water before their departure to the temple.

Later in the afternoon, arrangements are made for the couple to receive blessings. The couple then seat themselves in a crouched position with their hands in a gesture of prayer. The guests will queue up to pour lustral water from a conch shell on the bridal couple's hands or heads order to wish them a happy marriage life. The celebration will then follow by a grand dinner reception at the groom's house or at the hotel if the ceremony is held in the city.

After the dinner reception, the last ceremony to be performed is the sending-off the bride and groom to the room specially arranged with the decoration of roses. The ceremony will be guided by the elder villager and eventually the ceremony ends here.
