The mother of the groom is a distant family of mine, from the Arab branch, the father is Lampungese. The bride family is Javanese from Banyuwangi, who happens to be my parents acquaintances. Mom said she probably even attended the wedding of the parents of the bride. An interesting fact: according to my mom, both the bride and the groom were my dad's patients when they were little. No, he wasnt the matchmaker.
What I found pretty interesting during the reception was the fact the only Arab on the stage wore the sexiest and the most revealing kebaya out of the three ladies up there, while the mother of the bride wore modest kebaya with jilbab. Isn't it something?
One good reason for royal princesses and Indonesian girls to elude marriage, is the burden of the wedding.
