“Just A Short While More…”

Still revolving around the wedding at Ceromo Lawang…

As mentioned, the wedding ceremony was very much a solemn affair. While the rites/prayers were taking place, the groom and bride set solemnly, resplendent in their garb and makeup (is this where George Lucas found his inspiration for the costumes/design for Queen Amidala in Star Wars? ;)). I wonder what the couple was thinking then. For the boy, one thing seemed obvious: he probably couldn’t wait for the whole ceremony to be over and for the feasting to begin! 😛
