Kawin! (wedding)


But first some of the preparations...
remember all of this is done with knives, and little pieces of bamboo
What Artistry!
























all done with rice paste/colored called kue



Jantuk's brother made creating the structure

Yes this is just what you think it is!
All of the above was created at the bride's compound for the reception.  
The actual wedding ceremony took place at Wayans' family compound at 8am - September 6.

all the floral decorations are from Dedik's brother's shop

3 generations of  women: Kadek in her marriage outfit, Ibu, Jero (sister and mother of Ayu and Jevika) +Ayu

the ceremony begins


all the rituals








very soft 



the dogs know just how to eat the sate offerings, delicately taking it off the sticks


he has his kris, the wavy bladed sacred warrior knife that he penetrates the woven pandan leaves
