Indonesian wedding 26/12/2011

Last week I was in Jakarta to attend a good friends' wedding. A friend me and my husband had known way back then when we used to work part-time at Pizza Hut Subang Parade. That was 10 years ago. How time flies.

So we took Air Asia to jakarta on saturday noon and arrived at 3, took the bluebird cab to the santika premier hotel. Thats in the city centre. And very convenient to go to Tanah Abang to shop for "telekung" or prayer clothing for myself and the rest of my family members as well as some close friends. We reached the hotel around 4 close to 5 pm. Take a rest for a bit then be prepared for the wedding. At 7pm, the wedding started.

It was beautiful, pink was the theme color and then i saw the bride.. She was so beautiful. She is my friend. The wedding was not so much different from malaysian wedding except for a few things i find different. Maybe two. One, as the bride walked down the aisle, no one took her photograph except us, me & my husband. Haha. Two, there werent any seat or tables for the guests, only buffet table. Oh, there's three, they actually give gifts to the guests (the lucky ones only :)) yeah, they had to play some games then they'll get the prize. Guess what prize they gave away?? A blackberry!! How cool was that?! Only for single man or ladies, okay.. Haha.

When i asked the bride of the wedding processes.., they actually undergone the same chinese tradition. Tea drinking ceremony where they had to serve the in-laws chinese tea. Thats the custom. They were officially married on the 11/11/11 but held the reception a bit later. Anyway, enjoy the pic, and thank you Lili & Andry for the free stay at the hotel :)
