After everyone was settled in, it took us less then an hour to get back to Ban Nam Lue, and the seven guests got out of the car on the road outside the village, and said they'd make their own way from there on. We drove into the village, and the pig as unloaded and tied up the the yard of the Bride's family.
Then we settled under a tree at the entry of the village, to wait for the arrival of the groom's party.

And waited.

And waited some more.

Around 4.00 someone arrived from the road and reported the party was having a bath in the river.
Around 4.30, someone else reported the party was taking a nap in a nearby field.

At ten to five, they were seen descending the path towards the river that ran between the village and the road.
