Just Married In Ubud, Indonesia!

IMG 4455 Just married in Ubud, Indonesia!

Jonathan and I eloped and were married May 20th, 2010 in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia.

The ceremony was in the garden of the Indus restaurant/hotel in Ubud. We wore traditional Balinese wedding garments. The ceremony was a traditional Hindu Balinese marriage blessing full of flowers, rice, incense and offerings. It was incredibly beautiful.

This illustration gives the Balinese names for all the garments and accessories that made up the wedding outfits. You can’t tell in the picture above, but Jonathan had a sword suck into the back of his garment, just like the guy in illustration.

My headdress took about 90 minutes for the hairdresser to build out of 75+ metal ornaments. It was very heavy and sharp, but totally glam.

A lot of people have asked us about the ceremony. I’ll post more on that soon.

    What an absolutely beautiful photo Patty. Would you and Jonathon allow us to use it on the Indus (only a restaurant btw) webpage, please?

    I would love to hear about the rest of your day too please.

    Congratulations and thank you.

    Hi there. I stumbled upon your blog and hope you don’t mind if I request some advice. My partner and I will be in Ubud for the writers festival in October and while we are there we want to get married – eloping, no guests. I love the Indus and to have a traditional ceremony there would be amazing. If you could possibly put me in touch with someone whom I could speak with by email about this I would be eve grateful. I’m not sure where to start! Thank you much, and congratulations and best wishes to you. X
