公布的婚禮錄像未透露具體結婚日期，但顯示王室其他成員也出席了婚禮。儀式上，國王把聖水澆在蘇蒂達王后的頭上，並向她贈送了禮物。隨後這對夫婦籤署了婚姻登記書。

It was also explained that the monarch had 'performed a royal wedding ceremony with General Suthida Vajiralongkorn Na Aydhaya in accordance to law and royal traditions in a full and righteous manner', which explains why the bride had to lay at her husband's feet.
王室聲明進一步解釋說，國王「依照法律和王室傳統，按照正統的方式與蘇蒂達將軍舉行了全套皇家婚禮儀式」，這就是為什麼錄像中新娘一直趴在她丈夫的腳前。

66歲的瓦吉拉隆功也被稱為拉瑪十世國王(King Rama X)，在他尊敬的父親蒲美蓬·阿杜德國王(King Bhumibol Adulyadej)登基70年後，他於2016年10月成為憲法君主。在此之前他曾結過三次婚，共育有7個孩子。2014年他結束了與第三任妻子Srirasmi長達13年的婚姻。
那麼蘇蒂達是何方人物呢？據泰國當地媒體The Nation的報導，她出生於1978年6月3日，曾是泰國航空公司空姐。
In 2014, Vajiralongkorn appointed Suthida Tidjai, a former flight attendant for Thai Airways, as a deputy commander of his bodyguard unit.
2014年，瓦吉拉隆功任命蘇蒂達為王儲護衛隊的副司令官。
Some royal observers and foreign media had linked Suthida romantically with the king, but the palace had previously never acknowledged a relationship between them.
一些王室觀察員和外媒曾猜測蘇蒂達與國王有一段浪漫的關係，但王室此前從未承認過他們之間的關係。
The king made Suthida a full general in the Royal Thai Army in December 2016, and the deputy commander of the king’s personal guard in 2017. He also made her a Thanpuying, a royal title meaning Lady.
2016年12月，國王任命蘇蒂達為泰國皇家陸軍的全軍將軍，2017年又任命她為國王護衛隊的副司令。他還授予她"Thanpuying"的王室頭銜。
