The women look great, but not the men. We have our own Khmer wedding dress and bette, than this one.
Right,men attires are cloned from Europe.It is just like royalties who claimed to be Khmers but at home aa chha:kaer speak Siam, Fraing Yuon
believe or not, khmer wedding has a historical tie to the so-called 'devatas' or 'apsara' 'mysterious women' culture found on the walls of angkor wat. it is deeply rooted in our khmer culture, believe to start from the beginning of the khmer nation between the union of the khmer naga queen and a foreign prince from india. thus, the birth of this cultural symbol.
