Hello Hive Lovers, where did you spend your holiday yesterday? I hope you had fun yesterday. My family and I attended an invitation to the wedding reception of one of my colleagues. Since the COVID-19 pandemic has not ended, the wedding reception also follows a series of health protocols, including the distribution of time/attendance schedules for invited guests. Because the event is in the building and uses sessions, then we must use this invitation to enter the building. I'm one of his friends,so in the invitation we don't use sessions, I'm free to choose the session I like 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Renting a building is an alternative that can be done because of the lack of land to hold a reception, especially residents who live in big cities, renting a building is usually done because of the large number of guests invited to the reception (usually more than 300 invited guests). while in rural areas, weddings are still held at the bride's or groom's house ( ngunduh mantu)
In Indonesia, renting a building for a wedding reception indirectly shows the economy class of the bride and groom, because usually the more luxurious the building is rented, the more it is considered "capable" from an economic point of view.
My family and I arrived in front of the building, we chose the third session, which was in the afternoon, there was already a wedding car parked in front of the building and several bouquets of flowers were neatly lined up to congratulate.
Friends, family or business associates usually give bouquets of flowers to enliven the party and as a sign of respect to the bride's family.

I missed the photo moment using Batak Mandailing traditional clothes, because the photo using traditional clothes took place this morning😞😞😞😞
The reception was lively with more than 1000 invitees in attendance, this wedding reception was held in the Aceh agreed building located in Medan City (behind the Medan City Library building).
Before going home, don't forget to take memories from the bride and groom (thanks for the presence of the invited guests) usually in the form of interesting souvenirs
The souvenir is a tablecloth with a floral motif
May the bride and groom live in peace until the end of their lives and may the singles who are able to get married, get married soon this year😁😁😁👍
It's time to go home.
