Steve's Adventures in Indonesia

Mum signs the register.

After a few moments we returned to the reception area for the paperwork to be finalised. The wonderful man from Catatan Sipil (civil registry) in Amlapura had waited all day, just so that we could get the official paperwork finalised with the least inconvenience. We were/are very grateful to him. We'll overlook the omission of my surname from the marriage certificates, that only happened because my birth certificate, from which they took my name has my father's name at the top, and my given names at the bottom. Since Balinese and most other Indonesians do not take their last name from their fathers, there would have been no reason for them to suspect that I would do such an odd thing. :) It was fixed the next day.
