Indonesian weddings are known worldwide for their large numbers of wedding guests. People invite practically everybody they know, even if they’re not very close. Unlike American or European weddings, Indonesian marriage ceremonies and parties are populous. There can be hundreds of guests, not only the closest friends and relatives. And actually, this can be easily explained – this country lives in poverty and such grand weddings, where there is plenty of food, help a lot of people survive. So, this tradition also survives throughout decades and centuries.
