kun and Phoung Wedding (The Groom's Processional) Part 8

At the beginning of the day, the bride customarily waits at her parent's house while the groom gathers a procession of his family and friends. The procession symbolizes the journey of the prince Preah Thong to meet his bride the princess Neang Neak. The groom's procession approaches the bride's home bearing wrapped platters of gifts, usually fruits and Khmer desserts, and is led by a band of musicians and singers.

Here comes the groom, This is the song for you.
Now, at the break of dawn, We rise to the place of celebration.
Holding up high, the wedding flowers The groom is coming.
With the achar as a witness Granting his good wishes
According to tradition.
Holding up the umbrella high, As we journey through places bright
This day is the perfect day No better to be chosen.
The procession is coming with our gifts, Offerings for the parents of the bride.
Weaving in and out as one, We come to the place of celebration.

@muttsma : it's the gifts from the groom family give for the bride family. if refer to traditional meaning, it mean the groom parents buy the gifts to ask the bride parents allow the bride marry with their son. there are many kind of gift which the people carry such as fruits, drinks, cakes, meats, and more. some of the gifts like fruits, drink and cakes are give to guests who come to join the wedding in the morning after they finish their morning porridge which prepare by us.
