Wordless Wednesday 007: A traditional Khmer wedding

Posted by Sreisaat on November 04, 2009 @ Inside Cambodia

This is the wedding ceremony of my landlord's daughter. A traditional Khmer wedding ceremony is usually done over a 3day period. Nowadays, however, the ceremony is cut down to two days. Despite the shortened ceremony, it still is rife with rituals, elaborate costume changes not only of the bride but also of the groom and their attendants, and relatives, as well as the festive atmosphere and sumptuous feasts.

Oh, and the sister of the bride, too!Traditionally, Khmer weddings last for three days and are done at the bride's home. Nowadays, the ceremony is shortened to only one day. Our landlord's daughter's wedding, however, was held for two days (may kaya sila). Despite the shortened ceremony, it is still rife with elaborate rituals, costume changes (not only of the bride but also of the groom, their attendants, and their parents), and not to forget the food and merry-making!

Friday Fill-ins #002

Posted by Sreisaat On Friday, July 18, 2008


1. If I could be a fly on the wall I would chitchat with the other flies. *lol*

2. Jealousy is a waste of time.

3. When I see a shooting star my wish would be that I see more of them.

4. I'd rather be listening to the voices in my head than (instead of) politicians any day!

5. Certain songs when I hear them make me wanna scratch my head.

6. If time were in a bottle I would save every day.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to a good movie, tomorrow my plans include going out with friends to see Phuket town and Sunday, I want to spend a quiet time with my husband!
