I went to a wedding in Bandung this past weekend. It was a distant friend of mine, his name is Ben. After practically years of no news what so ever, suddenly there's this wedding.
Ben's family is a gold trader in the West Java area, so they are probably quite loaded since they are pretty well known in their hometown. He is however, not the fastest cat around... he is quite stiff and acts like a simpleton.
Thus to our surprise, suddenly he's getting married... To the information I gathered at the wedding, the girl (dunno her name) is only 24, while Ben is 34. They were introduced by their respective family 3 months ago and decided to get married...
As funny as this love story is, the wedding itself is another story...
I knew that weddings in Bandung is kinda funny, thus I didn't dress all out, just a shirt and some khakis. The women were all decked out of course, but a lot of the men were just dressed in polo shirts, jeans and sandals.
The couple barely made it onto the podium and started their thank you speech when I heard some rumblings behind me. Apparently the other guests decided they were not gonna wait any longer before they start attacking the wedding buffet. They didn't even stop when it came to prayers time... I thought I've seen some weddings in my lifetime, but this was indeed something else.
Not wanting to resort to physical violence to get food, we decided to bail the wedding all together. After congratulating Ben, we bolted for a restaurant and decided to have a nice calm dinner instead...

There is no connection between this blog or myself with late great Rick James. I do however enjoy very much a certain punchline which contains his name. I'm Rick James, b*tch!!
