WEDDINGS

Next | Previous | Return to main

The real celebration takes place that evening as all the friends and family of the bride and groom gather for the toy or wedding party, a huge gathering traditionally held outdoors under an awning but now often at a local banquet hall. 

The banquet hall is divided into a men's side and a women's side with a main table and open dance floor in the middle.  Guests arrive to mingle and snack as they await the arrival of the couple. The bride and groom and their attendants (one for the bride and one for the groom) enter with a grand fanfare of horns and drum and proceed to the middle of the room.
