Because the blog "Wedding in the Philippines .... and all that goes with it ..." is, and have for Peter,
understood the times so rough,
likely with a statistical evaluation can be quite difficult ....
And here's why ...
relatives, neighbors and friends to each separate person,
and be all in one ...
And with a very extensive family network in the Philippines that is very difficult to see through ...
At our wedding, about 200 people were present.
The Closer Family consisted of approximately 90 people.
parents, siblings, uncles, aunts, cousins, more distant relatives
I suppose is about 50 persons.
The unrelated neighbors I guess to about 50 people. There
friends according to our way of thinking it does not really ....
be recognized, however, classmates and fellow students accordingly among friends ... Ca. 10 were then also present ....
are we then to the 200 people :-)
Where I would see a total of 120 people as neighbors .....
onlookers were because of the rainy weather and the remoteness of the Leopards Resort only occasionally to be found ...
The invitations were made mostly by the mother verbally, in each case the families of uncles and aunts were invited ...
All volunteers, including many neighbors were just one of us directly and invited a few fellow students, we are specially went there .... We also have some
uncle because of their importance (Former mayor, lawyer, etc..) Must personally invite ....
invitation cards are known not there, so it's a gamble if sufficient food, because you invite one, he is either alone or bring another 10 man .... That can not be planned ....
why then had a total of 4 pigs squashed too ........
The food was prepared at home, we have hired a cook extra.
The slaughter was also taken right outside the front door from the neighbors.
also cut vegetables, coconuts, etc. scraping
Only one pig was taken away to end as a pig .....
Many helping hands so ....
