More pictures from the wedding:
The groom leads his modest bride to the palanquin, where her face is covered with a red veil.
Then the parade is off again. The chief clown, with gong in hand, was happy to show off for the camera.
The lady pictured seemed to be in charge, telling people what to do, when to stop and start--and dancing all the time in between giving orders.
The ceremony, as we've heard described, is very simple. The bride and groom invoke heaven's blessings, and then bow to their parents and to the north, south, east and west.
The parade made its way back through town, no doubt headed to the dinner.
