We got rides on the back of mopeds to the ceremony (Does a moped count as a motorcycle? If so, can I cross this off of my bucket list?) which I found to be terrifying. When we got there, we had to take off our shoes, go upstairs, and they blessed us by individually tying bracelets on our wrists while chanting something in Thai to give us luck and good fortune. Then, they gave everybody sticky rice, and led us to this dance party downstairs. We sat down and just observed while they gave us food. At one point, I'm not sure what happened, but this man said something, I gave him a confused look, and then he peeled a banana and put it in my hand. Thank you?
At one point, this woman came up to us and pulled us on to the dance floor one by one. Next thing you know, we're all learning how to dance like the Thai in the middle of this spiritual ceremony. The best way I can describe this is to imagine how you would dance when nobody is watching. Now do this five times crazier and you too could receive the double thumbs up of approval from some locals!
little did you know, but by accepting the banana you actually accepted his marriage proposal and became his wife #futureplotsforasitcom
