A Javanese Wedding

For the past week we had been searching for a wedding to crash, but luckily, our neighbour's daughter is getting married today. As soon as we arrived, a lady at the registration desk greeted us and presented us with a tasbih as a token of appreciation. The bride and groom looked dashing on stage in their matching outfits. As per tradition, the bride and groom have to match, and so do the in-laws. All were wearing red. We sat through the Qur'anic readings and speeches which were conducted in Javanese, as opposed to in Indonesian. The heat was unbearable but the experience of taking part in a Javanese wedding was definitely worth it.
