Thanks for the advice. Missus has already recommended I lose weight and exercise to survive being twisted into pretzel for photos.
There’s too many good photographic places in Siem Reap, hence multiple days needed. Increased sadomasochistic pleasures.

She’s currently recovering from the trial of announcement. She had a pulse this morning, but that was about it. I’m at the Frangipani buffett before it closes. Bring breakfast up to her in a bit. Maybe Brooklyn Pizza tonight if she’s recovered by then.

It didn’t help that the Lanmei plane arrived late and the wonderful Siem Reap airport staff didn’t care. Their solution - change status to no status. Not checking in, late. Just erased the flight status part. And of course not man the counter. Everyone stood in line for over an hour.

Her mum had been dead for a while. Drank herself to death. Screamed every day as she died.

Oh, I forgot. More photos. This is just before Missus told me to stop taking photos and start getting dressed. Will post more when I get them.

It’s extremely important to missus. None of her siblings have ever had a ‘big wedding.’ So she’s the one. Apparently all has been planned a long while back. When I tried to change dates or times, got the big negative response. Plus of course, the value of face is priceless to her.

As for me, I want her to be happy.
I’ve always planned to import her.
Can’t take care of her as she deserves in the KOW. In West, I can earn that amount. In Cambodia, not.



Amassing this on a shoestring starting English teacher salary would be nigh impossible.


Heard many disaster stories of foreigners with Khmer wives who only visit once a year or so.

Sexy time. Not the official photographer photo. Probably more sexy in the official photo.



Everything posed and manipulated. Down to the strands of hair.

congrats @newkidontheblock, u really looked like an okhna in the last photo

Congratulations! The photo of you and your bride is really beautiful. It is obvious that you plan to take care of her, and also that you love her very much! Happy for you both.

Congratulations to you both, thanks so much for sharing your special day!
