Announcement time (Khmer wedding blog with pictures)

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.

After much discussion, got them to agree. But major concessions had to be made. They will sit in chairs during the ceremony. Only there during key portions where their presence is required, not all day. And they will have an English speaking chaperone.

Good news. Sharing the day with family is important. Shows you have a family that supports you. Lessens the us and you a bit.

Sister in law’s idea is to subdivide the room. The bed will be divide off from the main area. Initially described as putting up a divider, either with curtains or a free standing wooden divider. This is the result.

The entire area is blocked off. Of course the aircon unit is in the bedroom division. Which leaves outside the room blazing hot. But inside the bedroom is nice. A little too nice.

Free loader dispatched to heaven by missus with a traditional broom.

Toilet seat got fixed. Original toilet seat was described the best in town. It was so thin that I cracked it on the first sitting. Successive locals using it thoroughly broke it during the announcement. Now replaced with beyond the best toilet seat in town. Maybe bought from temple town?

Pre wedding photos tomorrow.

Got all sorts of photography tips and examples on the way to Siem Reap from missus. Apparently a photographic kiss means be so close that breath touches skin, but lips don’t touch skin, and squint real hard. Got a Facebook photographic schooling.

Missus is off to Apsara Authority to pick up the permission slip to be allowed to photograph in the Angkor Wat park.

tomorrow
-Royal Garden ( អង្គចេកអង្គចម )
- Angkor Wat
- Bayon
- Gate

How many hours of joy and happiness will it be? How many outfit changes?
How many artificial poses can I contort myself into?

Just trembling in anticipation.

Given the option to either have 3 outfit changes which means it will last from morning until afternoon, or 4 outfit changes, which will last from morning until night.

Guess which option was chosen?
