Earl and I were honored to be invited to a Balinese wedding in Ubud, and it changed how we think about celebration and consumption.

The decorations? All from nature. Flowers, leaves, fruit, palm fronds β€” arranged with beautiful artistry. Even the whole roasted pig was carved and displayed like floral sculpture. 🐷🌺

The plates? Woven bamboo. The venue? The family home of the groom.

Besides relatives, lots of community members and friends came out to support and celebrate.

Guests wore traditional sarongs they already owned. Multiple generations β€” grandmothers, parents, toddlers β€” sat together on chairs and woven mats and prayed side by side.

No vendors. No registry. No debt.
Just community, culture, craft, and deep intention.

America could learn a lot. πŸ™πŸΎ
