If there is to be a wedding in Bugis society, more often than not, ''calabai'' will be involved in its organisation. When a wedding date has been agreed upon, the family will approach a ''calabai'' and negotiate a wedding plan. The ''calabai'' will be responsible for many things: setting up and decorating the tent, arranging the bridal chairs, the bridal gown, costumes for the groom and the entire wedding party (numbering up to twenty-five), makeup for the relevant participants, and all the food. Rarely does a village wedding have less than a thousand guests. On the big day, some ''calabai'' remain in the kitchen preparing food while others form part of the reception, showing guests to their seats. <ref>https://the-singapore-lgbt-encyclopaedia.wikia.org/wiki/Calabai</ref> |
