Weddings and Contests


Our next-to-last full day yesterday and things are hectic with getting ready to leave. But got in lots of fun yesterday too. Went to a traditional neighborhood wedding - very simple, but lots of family and friends there. Had to wade through mud and water to get to the house and get in - the bride and groom were so happy we came.


The guy who did the makeup for the bride is a friend of YGC - he dressed mom up as a traditional Bugis bride for a quick photo opportunity.


In the evening we attended the Mr. and Mrs. Makassar beauty contest - lots of great traditional dresses and entertainment, food too. The pageant took five hours but was fun.
