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.

Announcement time (Khmer wedding blog with pictures)

Post by newkidontheblock »

Started a new thread as suggested.

And so it begins.

7 am ceremony, 10 am party. Will be a double header, with a birthday party celebration in the afternoon. Might need an IV drip after it’s all over.

The flower backdrop had been put up and lettering is being added.

Awning’s already gone up, black dog not on the menu.

Is it 'cos it's black? It is isn't it? You'd eat it if it was white.
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

Make up + clothes people have arrived.

Time for missus to turn into the unrecognizable ‘same same’ woman that the locals are so fond of.

The signage people have arrived to finish the job. Arguing with missus about spelling my name. They keep wanting to give me a Khmer name.

Photos not attaching. Will have to photo dump later. Sorry!

Getting ridiculous.
Row of offerings under the awning followed by red carpets all the way to the bunker.

Feel like a pretend okhna. Weird feeling.
Pretending to be some rich Khmer when
I’m neither.

And this is just the announcement.

Kinda dreading the ceremony now.

Mate we are experiencing the complete occasion through your eyes and thoughts as we (I) have only experienced the celebratory part of a wedding.
Keep the good work and enjoy it all.
