Wedding In Cambodia

Our hotel room was turned into a floral shop and 6 of us ladies had fun pretending we were floral designers at about 1am of the wedding day : )

Some of the finished products

The groom and his family assembled outside for a procession to meet the bride

Wedding guest followed the groom and carried trays of fruit and food

Participants were given a red card with a small amount of money inside

The bride is ready to meet the groom. Her father was not able to attend, so he is watching the ceremony via computer

The bride and groom seated with their parents, friends, and family during the Cambodian ceremony
The flower girls walking down the aisle for the western wedding ceremony

The western ceremony included a message from scripture, charge to the bride and groom, rings, vows, unity candle, and kiss (sort of...the groom was a bit shy : )
