Wedding in minang indonesian

At this Indonesian wedding, the bride, thirty-year- old Vini Muslimov and groom, thirty-year- old Azwirman Sebastianputra, are formally presented with their mothers by their side. The stage, lit and lavishly decorated the color of gold, is shaped in the style of a traditional Padang House and is called Rumah Gadang, or big house.

In Indonesia, women dancers balance flickering candles on saucer plates in their arms, as they glide through the room to the rhythm of the music. This "Tari Lilin," or candle dance, is a symbol of how the bride and groom can achieve their aspirations of married life together. __________________
