The Batak Wedding

When meandering along the local road, the festive wedding provided this trip a hard to come by opportunity to take a look at Batak's wedding custom. It was a very lovely and friendly atmosphere.

Above shows the carried on the head baskets filled with well wishings, e.g. fabric, grains, dried food, etc. for the wedding couple.
