An Indonesian Wedding

We went off to an Indonesian wedding this evening, luckily I asked my partner first about the availability of alcohol....

None. Water and icetea only!

right, dug out the hip flask filled it with whiskey.

When we arrived we were greeted with half a dozen sign boards (I've seen this at funerals too, never just one) And they all had sponsor signs on them, upon inquiring this is from companies that wish to publicly congratulate the couple. (and get some free advertising I would think)



The entrance way was then lined with an elaborate arch, and then all their pre-wedding photos.



Sign in books. and a box for envelope with money.

The guy is not looking too happy.



the back of the room had the wedding couple and family on a stage with an MC yelling into the microphone. while everyone else walked around and chatted and ate.





Here was one food cart, plenty around the room, (no pork though)



After the wedding toast, the wedding dance, the wedding cutting cake, we had the wedding photo with friends etc.

Our turn on stage....



and looking back at the (by now much depleted crowd)
