Ok lah, kopi bangeeet! is just for fun. The rest of these pics are from a kos mate (flatmate's) wedding in Solo yesterday. It was a Javanese Islamic wedding. Very different style to what we're used to at home! The man comes to meet the woman, there are a few ceremonies (for eg the man steps on an egg and the woman washes it off to symbolise that she cares for him), and some vows which I don't really understand as there's a bit of arabic involved, and the family are involved too, then there's lots of eating. The bride and groom stand and are greeted by/have photos with every guest... check out the outfits, they're amazing.
