There is no such thing.

A marriage in Thailand involves registering at the local amphur
(regional government office). That's it. You're married. Register and
you are married, ceremony or no ceremony. Don't register and you are
not married, ceremony or no ceremony.

Buddhism considers marriage to be a civil function. Buddhist monks may
not participate in any type of wedding ceremony.

You may have a blessing on your relationship (with or without an
actual marriage) and a monk will participate in that.
