Some few months ago I had a couple of shoots and one of them is this engagement ceremony. The engagement ceremony do look like a wedding but actually it is not. When I look at the photos now, it still make me think that it was wedding. I’m pretty sure as you browse through the photos most of you would have thought the same thing as I did and if you are not keen into details, you really would have thought that this is really a wedding! 🙂

I was told by my couple that this is a traditional ceremony that is to be held before their Christian wedding.

It’s my first time to witness such a ceremony and oh boy, it sure was a delight. I know it is way different than what a “traditional” engagement would look like in the western culture but this one I would surely not miss attending the next time I would be invited even just being a guest.

Who would say no to meeting new people with such vibrant and rich culture, great food, tons of drinks – literally and a DJ to set the mood. Yes, P-A-R-T-Y indeed it is! All night long…
