Blessing strings
Guests were each given a white string to tie around the bride and grooms wrist to symbolize a blessing. As the guest tied the string they spoke a blessing aloud for the couple.
Laos tradition requires that the ties not be cut from the wrist, so the wearer must wait for them to fall off or loosen enough to slip them over the wrist.
These strings took around 4 weeks to loosen enough to remove from our wrists.
