I do... or I don't?

Have you got the stamina for a traditional Cambodian wedding? Traditionally they last for 7 days, however in the present day it is more common to see a 2 or 3 day wedding...The bride will generally have 9-13 outfits and the bridal party will change their outfits to match the bride’s.   There are up to 14 separate events during a 2 day wedding ceremony, some of these include “Sien Doan Taa” (praying for deceased relatives), “Soat Mun” (blessing from the Monks), “Bang Chhat Madaiy”, (honoring of the parents), “Bongvul Pbopul, (passing of blessings),  and many more. The water front area in Phnom Penh is a traditional area for wedding photos.
