This was shot early in 2013, only about my 3rd or 4th day in the dump. I was invited to a wedding.
The young girl beside me in the purple dress is named Iye-Iye. The last I heard she was living and working in Bangkok with her husband. She got married at 15 and had her first child that year.
The bride (also married at 15) that wedding day, is walking behind the table. Last I heard, she had her 3rd child and was back living in Burma after her mother in law got sick and needed medical care.
