As they progress around the table, it appears that after this nothing more will happen then a continuation of eating and drinking. Our team has another seven hours drive ahead, so we take our leave and get into the car. then a messengers from the groom family comes and asks us to wait a moment, we need to take some formal photographs of the family. Stiffly posed, as usual.

From left to right: mother groom, bride, groom, father groom, groom's two brothers.

After that we finally leave at about 3.00 pm. We get back to Luang Prabang around ten at night.
