Anyway, May I present to you all, the Bride and Groom:

Speaking of Happy, I saw the "Mistress" Yoda aka Happy Wong, Mother-in-Law of Gerald Jabu around the wedding and I must confess, she really looked like Yoda that night, in her awful black robe!! I wonder what the hell she was doing!! Sorry, no photographs of her as I was afraid that my camera lens would shatter when I took her photos!!!
As this is the Iban Wedding, as can be seen by the costume the Bride and Groom was wearing, most of the guest opted for Batik and Kebaya's, however, they were a few in some frump and dowdy outfits that could have only came from some "ah lian" boutique!!
Guests started pouring in into the Residence of the Deputy Chief Minister hours before the ceremony was intended to start, most likely to avoid having to park their cars blocks away from the Residence!!

By 7pm, the YB's and YM's (Yang Bodoh..oops!! I meant the Yang Berhormat and Yang Mulia's) started to arrive.
The Yang Berhormat Dublin Unting and Yang Berbahagia Fraulein (she does look rather "bahagia")
Lost Ibans? Well, if Jessica Alba could pass as an Iban in the Sleeping Dictionary, so why not a few Lebanese, Greeks and Italians?
The Groom and His LoinsMen!! (ooh look Cocka! Feathers? No Cock Feathers however!! Or rather none that was evident!!)
I say Jabu, One Daughter Please and make it Snappy!
Look into my eyes!! You're Mine
Bride: Oh God!! He's Starring at my Breast!!
Groom: Oh God! She's as flat as an airport runway!!

Thus we have the Iban wedding, which was rather lenghty ceremony that lasted for nearly an hour while the rest of us were indulging in alcohol and keeping ourselves amused with ever so polite social conversation!! The major decision that the guests had to make as can be seen in the picture below of YB Snowdown Lawan and his wife, was whether they wanted a glass of red wine or a glass of champagne!!
Buzzing around the room, I noticed that the Son in Laws of Datuk Amar Leonard Linggi was present, or should I say the present and former Son in Laws
Alistair Smith formerly Linggi to Grame Brown - Linggi: so that's how I caught my wife with that other guy in bed!!
