surabaya wedding...

my buddy sofi in surabaya invited me to come spend 3 days at his fathers' home in the northern part of the city for his nieces wedding.. both husband and wife were madurese and many family members made the trip to java for the occasion.. they closed down the street and set up a large tent with speakers blairing traditional music.. my friends husny and sofi took photos and shot video and i enjoyed the processions of my first muslim wedding.. it was really interesting, on the final day all of the men sit at tables and eat while an imam speaks, then at night, after the cerimonies, its just a big party.. lots of fun, did i mention amazing food!!!!
