All of our friends have been invited to a Lao wedding. Including those who were here for only 3 weeks. They all said it's a cultural experience. It's fun and can get really wild sometimes. Well, all my colleagues are married and those who have not, show no sign of getting married by 22 April. Our days are numbered to get ourselves invited.

up to crash the wedding: the two Madame Ambassadors.
With ang pao in hand, we sheepishly greeted the entire family of the groom and bride who waited by the entrance. Each arriving guest was offered a shot of Jack D. What a way to start the evening. After remarks by the family members, the newly wed went around the tables offering more Jack D shots.
As the temperature getting hotter, so was the night at the wedding. Guests attacked the buffet spread while the wedding singers came on. Tight sin(the traditional Lao skirt) did not stop the ladies, and yours trully, from hitting the dance floor, which happen to be a basketball court in a high school ground. And it is not a Lao party if you don't dance to Too Much So Much Very Much by Birdthongchai.
