CAMBODIAN WEDDING TRIVIA

One interesting (if mystifying) aspect of Cambodian wedding receptions:

While everyone else sits inside and dines on various courses and listens to the pleasant music provided by the live band, the bride and groom and their respective families wait outside the hall the whole time, greeting everyone who arrives, and they only join the reception near the end, after most people have finished eating and already left.

Which makes me, as a guest, feel very guilty about eating and enjoying myself while the guests of honor wait outside in the parking lot.
