The end of the rainy season marks the beginning of the wedding season here in Cambodia. Huge wedding tents are erected, blocking streets, and loud music blasts out all day.I attended the engagement party of one of my neighbours and last weekend the happy couple were married. The celebrations lasted two days. For me the unpleasant part was the loud music that started at 5.00 am both mornings!On the first day, a procession bearing gifts paraded from the college to our street. The photos tell the story.Musicians and flower bearersTrainees in their finery joined the processionJoints of meat carried by my colleaguesArrival of the groomThe procession arrives in our street, the home of the bride.MusiciansCeremony and blessings inside the house The following day there was a big party in a local restaurant with over 600 guests, live band and a 5 course meal. Here we finally met the bride and groom together.Beautiful coupleMiko and myself enjoying the food
