Weddings and outfits

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I agree with the above...Province weddings are way more down-to-earth and genuinely fun.

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

The purple outfit I had made. I am not a real girly girl- having to be up at 6am for hair and make-up was a rare treat...not! lol. I'm carrying an offering of tea, all the guests walk down the road a bit then enter the house and offer fruit, tea and other goodies to the parents on the morning of the wedding. I helped the women wrap them all the night before, that was fun. :) I love the sense of community when I'm amongst Khmer people, especially the women.

The green outfit was ust a bit of fun at the wedding, for some photos. The Khmers LOVED it, everyone wanted thier photo taken with me. I was literally pinned into the outfit, there's no way I could sit down!
