Entertainment Scoop – 'Yaya' Ties the Knot with 'Nadech' in Complete and Fulfilling Life Moment
28 Apr Khaosod

Red carpet actress Yaya Urasaya Sperbund has officially become a full-fledged Khon Kaen daughter-in-law. She recently opened up for the first time at the BOLON EYEWEAR New Collection SS2026 event held at Central Court, Ground Floor of Central World, about the significant moment following her traditional Isan wedding ceremony with groom Nadech Kugimiya on April 17 at his family home in Khon Kaen.

★ How was the wedding? Yaya – "It was such a fulfilling day. We received so much—blessings and love. I cried so many times. There are moments we don't express our feelings to each other, but when a special occasion like this comes, everyone speaks from the heart. It was incredibly fulfilling. Nadech was so happy, and the ceremony came out exactly as we dreamed. From the start, we wanted it to be authentically traditional Isan, and we paid attention to every detail from beginning to end. It turned out so complete. I'm so pleased."

★ How did experiencing Isan traditions feel? Yaya – "It's so sweet. I'm so proud to be an Isan daughter-in-law. Proud to be a Khon Kaen daughter-in-law. It's such a beautiful culture. Everyone is genuinely sincere with each other. It was so fun and entertaining. The food was delicious. Nadech taught me Isan skills beforehand. I can speak it, though maybe not perfectly, but now I feel completely immersed in it."

★ You two looked so happy together? Yaya – "It's a feeling we've had for a long time, reaching the point of true completion. It felt very liberating."

★ What did Nadech say when he walked to where you were sitting? Yaya – "I can't quite say, but basically that he's ready to take care of me forever. He's never spoken with such intention before. We already knew he was ready, otherwise I wouldn't have married him, but hearing him say it, his eyes got a bit teary."

★ What promises did he make before the elders? Yaya – "The vows he recited were amazing. I've never seen anything like it. Two of my close friends, Kim and Tep, came up with those vows. I have to thank them so much. I loved every bit of it. When I heard it, I felt he was so sincere. He's been thinking about this for a while."

★ The money he earned—did he give it all to you? Yaya – "Except for that, not seriously. At the end, it all goes toward our future anyway."

★ Do you call each other husband and wife now? Yaya – "Not yet. There are still 2 more ceremonies, but according to tradition, I'm already fully a daughter-in-law. But in my family's tradition, I haven't worn the ring yet. There's one more step before I can fully speak as his wife."

★ The gifts received as a daughter-in-law aren't light, right? From Khun Mae Gaew? Yaya – "There's a stamp with the wedding logo. The bracelets are safely in the safe. As for the dowry, I don't know. Mother-in-law didn't ask for anything and didn't ask either. She just said 'whatever you feel like.' That's enough. We'll register the marriage when auspicious timing allows."

★ The bride and groom outfits were gorgeous? Yaya – "Ajarn Veeratham designed them. He created completely new jewelry pieces. The work is incredibly intricate and beautiful. I felt so honored wearing such beautiful clothes and jewelry. And Nadech looked so handsome—I've never seen him look this good before in his life. Mother-in-law looked beautiful too."

★ Any spoilers about the Norway wedding? Yaya – "Next month. Mid-next month we'll fly out. The Norway ceremony is almost complete in planning. I think letting everyone see it first and then surprising them will be much more fun. There won't be many guests—just over 70 people. Almost all of the bride and groom's friends are going to Norway."

★ What would you like to say about your handsome husband? Yaya – "Just, thank you so much.
