Re-enacting 50 years ago, how the groom came to make a proposal for the bride's hand in marriage.

He speared a pig to make known his intention.

The Groom , Holt Thompson was all dressed for the occassion beginning at 6 pm.

A very meaningful  50th Wedding Anniversary held in Sera, the newly completed longhouse. Rumah Tabor has moved from across the river to the present site.

The silver head band on the groom's head is more than 150 years old.

Friends from the USA who were Peace Corps serving in Bintulu during the time Uncle Holt was an Education Officer, came to celebrate the occsion.
