The wedding of Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, King of Bhutan, and Jetsun Pema took place on 13 October 2011 at the Punakha Dzong in Punakha, Bhutan.

The current King of Bhutan, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, married Jetsun Pema, who became Queen Jetsun Pema Wangchuck at the age of 21 years.

Royal wedding attire

The wedding featured traditional Bhutanese attire. The bride, Jetsun Pema, had ordered several elaborate kiras, the national dress for Bhutanese women, from among prominent weavers in the country. Queen Jetsun Pema chose one of these kiras, which are woven from raw silk and can take months to complete, as her wedding kira.

She wore a light yellow tego and a kira colored red, yellow, green and white, along with red earrings to match her red wonju, the colour are also symbolic of astrology.

The King wore a rose patterned yellow silk gho, the very same gho his father and grandfather had worn at their weddings.

Royal wedding guests

The guests were predominantly members of Bhutan's royal family, the House of Wangchuck, government officials, friends of the royal family, and the press. There were no foreign royals or heads of state in attendance, however Indian dignitaries and ordinary Westerners were among the guests of the royal family.

During the ceremony, family guests sat on one side of the hall, while tulkus and other high level officials sat on the opposite side. To prevent chaos, the dzong and its entrances were closed to the public.
