Lara, the little daughter of my brother, has -in stead
of the Thai girls- white hair, a white skin and blue
eyes. In the little Isan village the people had never
seen such a girl. But no problem. In one minute she was
big friend with the childs of the village.
Of course we invited our neighbours for our wedding
party.
The day before: members of Phen's family cleaned the
rented cups.
Late in the evening: a slaughtered cow arrived. Just a
half our ago the poor animal was still living, they told
me. Indeed, fresher is not possible.
The trophy is, of course, the head of the cow.
Nod bad.
Have a nice meal.
Many people of my country -The Netherlands- don't
like this kind of photographs. But at the other side,
they like typical Dutch food as 'kroketten' and 'frikandellen'.
And is that delicious food made from the best meat? I
don't think so. Maybe partly or fully from the cow's
head.
The whole family cuts the cow in small pieces.
It's 3 o'clock in the night. Everything is prepared for
the next day, which starts on 7 o'clock (official
ceremony).
Three ladyboys, specialized in preparing brides and
bridegirls, arrived at 4 o'clock in the night with
wedding clothes for Phen and Eric. And they prepared
Phen for the wedding ceremony.
One ladyboy prepared Phen's daughter Eye. She was one of
the bride girls.
Eye after preparing. She looked like a Thai princess of
the 19th century. |
A Thai marriage is not
possible without slaughtering a cow. In the midnight
before the wedding nearly the whole family of Phen was
preparing meals with the meat of the cow.
