I have already rec'd several common questions re.: this wedding.
1. Bride looks awfully young!?
Yes - brides can be as young as 12 and average 14/15.
2. How many wives?
Being a muslin country - men are allowed as many wives as they can afford up to 30. Most Indonesian men have 2 wifes.
3. Where is groom in pics?
The groom is not "carried" like the bride. He is at the end of procession, walking, hitting a bong with the rythm of whatever the "band" is playing.
