From monk blessings to a 15-carat ring, here’s how Thai-Belgian actress Davika Hoorne and actor-writer Ter Chantavit merged heritage and luxury in a tradition-rich “I do.”
Davika Hoorne and Ter Chantavit have officially said “I do,” and in true Thai style, it was a moment of beauty, grace, and centuries-old tradition.
On November 10, the couple exchanged vows at Maison Mystique, a dreamy boutique hotel tucked in the lush greenery of Khao Yai, Thailand. The scene looked straight out of a film: hydrangeas spilling across the aisle, petals floating through the air, and guests dressed in soft neutrals as they watched two of Thailand’s most-loved stars promise forever.
But the most striking part of it all? Before the glitz, the vows, or even the Gucci, the day began with the blessing of monks, a sacred ritual that grounded this glamorous wedding in something timeless.
Davika pinned the moment on Instagram, showing herself and Ter walking down a petal-strewn aisle among hydrangeas and flowing drapes.
In a nod to tradition, the newlyweds received blessings from orange-robed monks, a hallmark of Thai wedding culture. In Thai custom, monks are invited to chant, bless holy water and sprinkle it over the couple as part of a ceremony believed to bring harmony and good fortune.
The mood was equal parts serene ritual and couture moment: Davika in a bustier gown, veil, white orchid bouquet and Gucci accessories; Ter in tailored elegance to match.
In a traditional Thai wedding, early morning often brings monks to chant sacred verses, offer holy water and shower the couple with blessings.
In this case, the inclusion of monks signalled that Davika and Ter were not just staging a photo-op, they were aligning the celebration with cultural depth.
Their wedding melded Qatari grandeur (Ter’s Thai name is Chantavit Dhanasevi but his heritage and star status brought elevated style) and American-Belgian-Thai fusion (Davika’s roots are Thai-Belgian) into a ceremony grounded in Buddhist ritual. Guests witnessed a serene moment when orange-robed monks surrounded the couple and invoked blessings; this act anchors their union in more than just glam, it ties it to meaning.
Earlier this June, after seven years of dating, Ter proposed to Davika with a show-stopping engagement ring. The stone reportedly weighed in at a staggering 15 carats, prompting hashtags and headlines from Bangkok to Brussels.
On Instagram, Davika posted snapshots of the ring and the moment, captioning it simply with a diamond emoji and the word “Engaged.”
The ring became shorthand for their commitment, equal parts luxury and milestone, and a clear precursor to the white-garden ceremony to come.
Their story didn’t begin on the steps of the venue. They first met in 2013 during the filming of the horror-romance film Pee Mak, where Davika starred and Ter worked as a screenwriter.
They went public with their relationship in 2018, built a private yet public-facing partnership in Thai showbiz, then made it official in 2025.
Davika and Ter’s ceremony proves you can have both: runway-ready glamour and soul-rich tradition. Dress the part, plan the party, but remember the moment that makes it all real. If you’re inspired to blend heritage with haute couture, take this as your cue to do something unforgettable, and meaningful.
