Wedding

Rose's cousing, Lisa, got married while we were in the Philippines. The festivities start at around 4 pm the day before the actual wedding and continue through the afternoon after the actual wedding.

Taking a break from preparation...

Marlon hanging out...



Cooking Filipino style...

The meat...



The women cutting vegetables...

Everyone was having fun except the pigs. The butchering of the pigs was kind of a spectacle attracting the attention of quite a few neighborhood children. A few men just grab the pig, hold it down, and then cut its throat.







Michael saw that the butchers apparently threw out the best part so he snatched up the pig's tail, stuck it on a skewer, and cooked it up. I saw the boys later dipping it in some sort of vinegar sauce and eating it.





The balot guy...


Hauling tables and chairs to the dance location...

The DJ's sweet ride...





Later that night, the dancing started and continued through the next morning when the actual wedding occurred at the church in town.


The Bride's party...
