Cambodian Wedding


After avoiding two Cambodian weddings I couldn't get out of the 3rd one last night. Pol insisted that I came along for the Cambodian wedding experience. I had heard a lot about these events,of which there seem to be a lot, but actually it was fine and we didn't stay very late.Other people had told me they go on to the early hours of the morning (not much different to home when I came to think about it!)

The women were all in elaborate dresses, some more traditional and others more western evening dresses but all with lots of sequins and sparkle. I definitely felt very under dressed. The food and drink is served continuously and a band played very loudly. Envelopes are handed out for guests to contribute money instead of presents which helps pay for the wedding.
