“This is a traditional Thai hairpin that has been flowing through generations in the panich family. The panichs are royalty; 

This hairpin was given to the bride that is married into the family by the bride that was married into this family a generation ahead.

Though over time it lost its use, it is still considered a sacred monument in the Panich family. I got this from My mother in law  and now I am giving this to you.

And I hope you take good care of it and pass it on to the next bride that gets married into this family.”

“I hope you understood what I meant. Well, let me just say it properly. I accept you as panich. From now on, I accept you as a part of this family. I know my son is a handful but Zee is a sweetheart, so do take care of him for me, will you??”
