We were invited to attend a wedding on Tuesday. We don't actually know the bride and groom, but the bride is our house helper's niece, and because of that relationship, we were invited to attend. We were so honored by the invitation and jumped at the chance to see a real Javanese wedding. It was beautiful and so different than anything we'd ever seen before. Sean and I were very impressed with all the intricate decorations - mostly made from natural materials. There were ornate decorations made entirely from reeds, amazing floral arrangements, a water fountain, and an ornately carved wooden back drop. Even the headdress the bride wore was made of reeds and flowers! Look at that bride! Isn't she beautiful? I was so intrigued by her ornate costumes, elaborate hair, and artistic makeup. Everyone in the wedding party was dressed up in traditional Javanese fashion. It was lovely. There was food for all and drinks and boxes of snacks just in case! This is what saved ...
Yay! How exciting!!!
ReplyDeleteThat precious room needs some color Momma :) Ohh, and a baby.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's a little pale in there. I need to at least get a curtain and some pictures on the wall...but considering that it used to be BLACK with an outer space theme, I'd say we're doing pretty good!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I forgot about that! It's definitely an improvement over space and time :) The furniture is beautiful! Any progress? contractions, dilation, effacement?
ReplyDeleteNot waiting anymore!!! Congrats please post pictures soon. We love you, all 5 of you! God is soo good.
