I've talked a lot about the storyline parallels to "Amok Time", but I figured let's take some time to talk about the visual parallels.
First, despite the fact that SFA established that Khionia is a very watery world, conveniently, the marriage rituals take place on their moon. Their desert moon.
Which looks a bit like...
Vulcan
It looks pretty close on the ground too
Vulcan
Their lights
Look a bit like Lirpas
Kaira's wedding dress is silver
Like T'Pring's dress
They both have beads in their hair as well
They even look a bit alike.
The point is, the show wanted to make absolutely certain that no one had any doubt about "Ko'Zeine" being an "Amok Time" parallel.
