Halfway There — Our friends get off easy — they're already done.
My Wife the Burrito — Our assistants wrap Erin up in the traditional bulang. In real traditional Balinese weddings, the wife is wrapped up tighter than a fist...fortunately, these women were a bit more merciful, allowing her the ability to take an occasional breath.
Finishing Touches — Ratni puts on the last layer of yellow and gold cloth, the bulang parada, before sending Erin off to wait some more.
Flower Plate — The traditional bouquet for Balinese women, a canagsari, lies waiting for its rightful owner (for the day).
Keith's Turn — Breaking with tradition, the men have the dress train in Bali. However, it doesn't work both ways: the bride doesn't get to pull off the garter. Damn!
Does This Make Me Look Fat? — Keith can't help but be amused as he crouches down to help the ladies wrap him in his sarung.
Aren't You Ready Yet? — The back of Erin's gelungan as she looks on to see what's taking Keith so long. (His gelungan wasn't meant to fit such a tiny head.)
Introducing the groom...Norman? — This is our driver for the week, Norman, in a photo taken at his wedding a couple of years ago. Not to confuse you or anything, but this is what our wedding costumes are supposed to look like. So...how did we do?
Ooooooh...aaaaaah... — Here they are, the bride and groom. All dressed up...but where to go now?
