Malay Bersanding Ceremony

Today my mom and I attended a Malay 'bersanding' ceremony. Bersanding means the bride and groom sits on the bridal couch and family members and relatives sprinklers them with scented water as a sign of blessing.

The couple walked into the wedding hall accompanied by kompang music.

The bride was pretty as a princess wearing a tiara on her head and a beautiful gold brown outfit.The groom was dressed the same color as the bride and he wears a head gear.

The bride and groom is known as king and queen of the day.

The wedding reception was grand with lots of sweets and cakes to choose from. My favorite was the buffet sweet table of course.The wedding cakes and all the other cakes were baked by the groom's sister from FAIRY LITTLE FINGERS. My favorite is the tiny cakes topped with caramel. 

After we had all eaten it was photo time with the groom. I got to sit next to the bride on the bridal couch. It was a beautiful ceremony with lots of beautiful decorations. I did not understand a lot of it because it was conducted in Bahasa but I still managed to understand a lot of what was happening.
