Indo Wedding Bells

We went back Indo recently again to attend Rynae's cousin's wedding on a Sunday. Because of this happy occasion, Rynae had to pontang school for 2 days. Oops! It was my first 'experience' attending their kampong wedding ceremony and I was full of awe and anticipation for it. Though we're all ethnically Chinese, some traditions are practiced differently between our 2 nations. For example, brides were fetch in the wee hour of 2am instead of early morning and there were no cake cutting ceremony before yam seng, during the wedding banquet. It was a 2-ish p.m. lunch wedding conducted under a marquee, in a non-airconditioned milieu. Thank god we were seated in front of a fan! Unlike formal and solemn Singapore wedding dinner, their wedding feast was kept much livelier and abuzz by queues of friends and relatives making their way one after the other onto the stage - not as stand-up comedians or to present a tearing speech, but as amateur singers in a karaoke! As for the dishes, I got to admit that presentation wasn't fantastic but the food does taste decently home-cooked. Rynae loved the sharks fin soup most. Too bad there wasn't any left, if not she would have asked for a second helping!



Traditional sedans have been modernised to cars and herein.... simplified into motorbikes!


Can't you tell she is enjoying her food?
