Javanese Wedding


GeoTagged, [S6.86523, W107.62710]

Notice there's an "in-law" in the background...the bule.
At the wedding reception I was rather offended because people kept asking if I was the "pembantu" which means helper or servant. Towards the end I asked why everyone thought I was a maid, and was greeted with laughs at my question...
The Indonesian word for "in-law" is "menantu"... Friends of my family had been asking if I was "menantu" not "pembantu"....hahahahaha!
