The Cambodian wedding’s ceremony and reception usually lasts for three day and nights, because of a special tradition that implies three of the most venerated mentors: Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha. There are three ceremonies, for each of these mentors. The first day of the wedding is held in a Buddhist temple, where the priest is blessing the couple and the families, and no one else is allowed to enter the temple and participate at the ceremony.
