We had a wonderful time at Veuk's wedding in Battambang. It was a 2-day affair with many different elements. Fortunately on day one, we only went to the 'orange ceremony' (so called by us because they wore their orange outfits).The most interesting part of that one was when the bride and groom presented their parents and in-laws with a gift of a drink of Coke.
Altogether they each had 2o costume changes over the 2 days. They had three changes at the reception alone- look for the pink, white and green outfits below. It was just was we expected, all very garish and noisy, but also lots of fun!!
Judi wore her designer Cambodian dress and Doris wore her Indian sari. Colin was relatively casual. We fit right in.
More monks. Good for you if you've got this far. During our time in SE Asia, I have loved taking photos of monks in their gorgeous orange robes. I was lucky enough to have a monk photo-taking bonanza on the streets of Battambang the day after the wedding. I've put a few up on my photo blog. Click here.
