What an amazing two days!
On the first day we had lunch with the family and then the monks came in the afternoon. That everning we wrapped all the fruit offerings for the next morning.

Up at 6am for hair and make up. The bride and bridesmaids were already finished by the time I got to the house! The day was long, a lot of waiting around and not understanding what was going on but they made us feel welcome and involved us as much as they possibly could. I even had a change of outfit for photos! I felt like a bit of a princess, I must admit

The reception went OFF! My god, 300 - 400 people who were there to party hard. It was the most awesome fun. They loved that we tried to dress the same, dance the same and enjoyed the food (which everyone said was a bit disappointing).
We had been to the Killing Fields a couple of days before and sitting at the reception watching the family and friends celecrate made me feel really happy but sad at the same time- so any family members not there to witness it.

Trying to add images to the post but I can't for some reason

Never been a huge fan of local weddings... I can't handle the music and sitting in a warm tent drinking warmish beer's not my idea of a good time. Glad you had fun though.

The music is the same for both country and city wedding, but the different is that the wedding held in the city is way more comfortable. In the city, the reception mostly will be held in a nice platform equipped with nice curtain, standing air conditioners and nice table and chair sheet, not to mention it is clean.

Well, clean... Until everyone throws their stuff on the ground. I prefer weddings in the countryside as people there actually party. In the city people just come for one hour, eat and drink as much as they can, and leave by 8pm. Really boring... It has always seemed to impolite to me, but I guess you'd be so tired as a bride and groom that it would be nice to have people leave by 8-9pm.

Ahh finally

They called me Cindarella

At weddings they always try to make the face of the brides and others white, as if they want to be a barang. Did they have any problem putting a ''whitening '' on your face ?

Duncan I have no idea what they put on me! Lol
