The Engagment Party at Blimbling Sari

On the Sat afternoon we went to an engagement party of the daughter of the local preacher. The party was in the grounds of their home, which is a beautiful garden and quite large, which was just as well as there were about 300 people there. There was a formal church service for the engagement and I was surprised that there were vows and the exchanging of rings. It felt more like a wedding. However the wedding will take place after 3 months. After the ceremony 300 people all got their meals in a very short time from the buffet and then went home just as quickly. Not much standing around talking. However, I understand that there had been a party the previous night for the young people.
