Caiyun: A Malay Wedding

Today I attended a Malay wedding with my mum and sister. We were invited by our old neighbour. It was her grandson's wedding. The bridegroom is only 18 to 19 year old. (Very young indeed but I supposed it is quite common for Malays to get married early).

The wedding is held at the void deck of a HDB flat. We reached there at 12 noon. What I find special about Malay Wedding is that there is no fixed time that we have to attend the ceremony. We can be there anytime between 11 am and 5 pm. When we arrived at the venue, it was already filled with people. I was quite surprised to see many Chinese guests and also some old neighbours. It was nice to see that everyone mix well and that we could get along with one another. The host (my old neighbour) is really hospitable and friendly. She greeted us warmly and chatted with my mother.

My sister and I love the buffet there. I find their cooking really good. We ate like gluttons (totally disregarding our images...Haha...kinda 'throw face'). We went off before the start of the actually wedding ceremony because my sister had to rush off for tuition. Kinda wasted as I wanted to see how pretty the bride is.

Anyway, here are some pictures that I have taken at the wedding:

This is a souvenir given to each of us.

This is for us to wash our hands before we eat. When I was younger (about primary school times), I thought that this pot is for drinking.

Chinese guests at the backdrop. That's my sister in pink at the foregound.

That's my sister again. She is eating the 'Malay Kueh Tutu'. It is really nice. Much softer than the 'Chinese Kueh Tutu'. BTW, I think that's my sister 4th plate of Kueh Tutu. She had been eating non-stop since she sat down at the table.
