Indonesian Wedding in Surabaya

On 20th June 2025, I stepped out from Varna Culture Hotel and took a walk around Kampung Ketandan in Surabaya. I saw villagers and family members from the groom side moving wedding gifts consisted of cupboard, cosmetics, toileterries, food and cash into a small lorry and to be sent over to the bride's house. The groom's uncle invited me and my sis to join their wedding. But we turned down his invitation as we had other plan that day. After all, it's an unforgettable memory for us for witnessing the local wedding and being able to communicate with the locals with Malay language. Love their friendliness and hospitality in welcoming foreign tourists. #surabaya #wedding #localweddingtradition
