Nestor and I were invited to a co-workers wedding. They are Buddhist. I thought it would be very interesting to see a Buddhist wedding and it was very interesting. All the monks came from LA. They arrived about 9AM. After 11PM, they stay seated until the last guest leaves. That could be until late in the evening. They don't even get up to go the restroom. They hold it. Can you imagine! I would pee my pants for sure. 
The monks are served by all the guest. They are offered every single dish. This is the pedestal for a big bowl of food. They use their fingers to eat with instead of utensils.
This gentleman made all the flower arrangements by hand. With a needle and thread, he made each arrangement. He told us that he started two days ago. Check out the video clip.
Nestor and the bride!!
Don't you love the elaborate details. The ceremony was performed by one monk and now it is time to serve the monks. Then we tried all sorts of food I have never seen or heard of before. It was really cool. Also, people brought staple items for the monks. They live totally on donation by the people.
