Sorry about the wife's mother. Just make sure you look after your wife.
The pics look great but I sympathise over the dressing up. As I said, this is all about the bride and the groom can suck it up and bear it.
The great thing about this is that the pain diminishes as time goes on and you will look back at those photos and say what a great time you had. Memory is a funny thing.

Thanks for all the warmest feelings from everyone.phuketrichard wrote:Best of luck moving forward>>>>
will you have kids?
Unfortunately it’s not over yet.
Still need to survive the photo shoot (aka pre-wedding), then the ceremony itself.
Of course missus wants kids immediately, lots of kids. But she gets easily stressed.
She want to be sweet and loving and always feels she’s not sweet and loving enough. Of course she always feels she is financially wasteful, a poor cook, and leaves a mess. The complete opposite is true. She even saved her food money to get me a Pedro suitcase bag so I could look more professional. On discount. Because she believes she is so wasteful and unkind.
Now it’s 3 pm. Missus just woke up for lunch. She still has total body soreness. Guessing that recovery time for the next two will be much longer.
My plan is import her first, get a house second, then kid third, aka the long plan.
If a kid comes in between, it will be more complicated. But still perfectly happy.

I'm not so sure about that. A certain gallows humour is worthy of any condemned, whatever the culture or venue.armchairlawyer wrote: ↑Wed Sep 19, 2018 5:07 pm
Well, to be fair the OP is not making it sound like that.
Enjoying this...
Not wanting to detract from the moment overly, but I'm curious if the traditional garb could accomodate a 'Billy Connolly trousers' arrangement, to help with the self administered anaesthetic and time issues.*
*as I have a similar future ahead...

Depends on where your better half lives. From a province where Western size foreigners are rare? Or from Phnom Penh or temple town or anywhere that Blue Pumpkin thrives?Freightdog wrote:Not wanting to detract from the moment overly, but I'm curious if the traditional garb could accomodate a 'Billy Connolly trousers' arrangement, to help with the self administered anaesthetic and time issues.*

As for her village, the regular foreigners were Christian missionaries from Singapore teaching English. Saw one non-Asian in the commune.
I was down to my underwear and sleeping shorts for the announcement clothes. Had to wear the largest Khmer jackets the town had. The bottom part is actually a long cloth that’s folded into trousers and held in place with pins.
I was told to suck it in so the decorative belt could fit.
Went it was time to change outfits, the clothiers gave up trying to find me trousers that had a remote chance of fitting.

Re: Announcement time (Khmer wedding blog with pictures)
Purely out of interest, where do you intend to export your young lady to? Will it be in an area where she will have other Cambodian friends or will you expect her to fit into her new environment? Will the climate be the same as her home village or under 25 deg and to her freezing cold.
The grass may look greener on the other side but if you can make ends meet in her neighborhood believe me, that is a much better route to go down.
Happiness is not always built around money.
