963 This is a traditional Riau wedding whereby the couple will dress up and walk through the village and be greeted by chirpy Indonesian music. The couple will also be treated like king and queen for the day. This ceremony may continue for the next few days.

I have never experience true hospitality from the heart before until I visited this area of Indonesia. This is a place where I would go back for more great hospitality. The locals are extremely friendly and they are very willing to help one another.
