A Quick Pre-Marriage Blog...

I managed to break the internet in my apartment (by slicing the wire in half with a microwave oven - go figure) but tonight I'm staying at the Hotel Borobudur in cental Jakarta and they have wi-fi.

My friends Edward, Susi, and daughter Belinda have an apartment here cos Edward is the Exec Chef. They are going to act as my 'surigate' parents since my Mum and Sister couldn't make it to the wedding. We're all being woken up at 6am by the make up artist so we can head to Yanti's parents house for the main event that starts at 9am!!

Yanti had her showering ceremony yesterday, which was wonderful. I didn't manage take any good pictures cos this ceremony is mainly for women and I didn't want to seem like too much of a happy snapper. We have a professional photographer and video guys filming everything so I would prefer to put those pictures and movies up when we get them. But here's a pic of Yanti's Father, Yanti (looking beautiful), Me, Yanti's Mum, and her Brother.



Yanti's Parents house has been transformed...



We are blocking the road for a few days :) That stage will have a Gamelan band on their tomorrow!! I love Gamelan.

Tomorrow is going to be a crazy day - I know. But I'm really looking forward to it. I have memorised my lines ('Saya terima nikhanya dan karwinya Yanti Suryati binti Haji Mohammah Sapei denang maska winya yang tresbut tunai') - so I hope I don't freeze on the day :)

I'll try and get the internet fixed in my apartment next week!

See you when I'm married...
