Attending a Khmer wedding

Yeah, I think it boils down to experience. I also enjoy the comfort of the city way more. No need to go too far, aircon, a proper floor (vs dirt). To be honest I avoid weddings now, haha. I definitely wouldn't go to a provincial wedding unless I really know the bride or groom. Too much of a hassle, but I'm happy to have attended the few I did. I have the same rule for PP weddings now. I hate going to weddings where I barely know anyone. But at least in the city, it's easy to get to.

So yes, it does get hot, but in pretty much all the weddings I've been to in PP, I was one of the last to leave (around 9?) despite often barely knowing the bride or groom. Just my experience... By 9pm I'm getting warmed up, whereas most people are gone by that time in PP. They'll have 600 guests, but 90% eat and leave between 7-8:30. It's like they walk in, give the envelope, eat and drink, and leave. A few dance, but not many in terms of % of attendees.

I agree with Samouth because maybe you just participated few times of the wedding. I guess the hosts might not close to the guests. I went to many wedding parties and I always dance if the hosts are close to me. Before I go to the wedding parties, my friends and I always talk about the time we arrive there and sit the same table or in case we can't sit the same table, we still carry our glass to our friends' table to cheer and invite each other to dance and make fun. Sometimes the host want happy ending then they pay extra money for adding 1 more hour (till 10pm ).

Awesome! If you didnt have white skin, I would think you are Cambodian woman. You look comfortable with Khmer traditional dress.

Awesome pics! I had no idea you were Cambodian!

I'm with Lexus. I've thought all the weddings in the city were too formal for my liking. Even the one I went to of my buddy who worked at Pontoon, and damn near future every bar girl in Phnom Penh came to, LoL.

The country ones have been full on madness!

Maybe it's a cultural thing. I feel like we all partied like there was no tomorrow in the country, but everyone parties like they gotta work the next morning in the city weddings.

And don't get me wrong, I've had a blast at damn near every one, but comparatively the ones in the country were wolf and Crazy!

Thank you!!!
I feel there's no point moving to a new culture if you aren't going to embrace it.
We learnt to say Congratulations on your wedding (at least I hope that's what we learnt to say lol) and used our other Khmer words which aren't many yet but at least we are trying.

Before the wedding they called me an Australian Apsara but at the reception my friend says to me - "No more Apsara Australie- You Khmer Apsara now

"
So yes, I am now Khmer

Been to 1, then been to all. I point blank refuse to go to them anymore (managed to get away with 1 this season). They are all the same with the following exceptions (questions to ask those returning)

1. What beer did they serve?
2. What was the fish course?
3. Was the band good?
4. How big was the table of fruit?
5. How many costumes did the couple flaunt?
6. Was there whisky?
7. How much did I have to pay as not to go?

Wow, so negative. Why do you live in Cambodia if you hate Khmer culture?

Mostly the weather, cheap booze and the poon. And how is stating every wedding is the fucking same akin to "Hating Khmer culture"?

I view those tents with dread, for they herald naught but traffic chaos and 4am noise misery.
