WEDDING RECEPTION!
by lmkluque
A friend of Sri’s, related to the bride, invited me to a Traditional Javanese Wedding: A Muslim 'wedding' is a matter of the father of the bride, the father of the groom, the groom and an Imam signing the contract. The bride isn’t necessarily even around. There is of course a reception for the Bride and Groom and this is what I was invited to.
The Reception room, located in Manggala Wanabakti was large and decorated with full sized palm trees and flowers made to look like an Island. It was the most extravagant décor I had ever seen and it was quite impressive.
At the Entrance there were more than a dozen of these beautiful greetings to the bride and groom made completly of flowers!

I like it when people are creative! Cards , gifts , souvenirs... 30 000ir or....
