MALAY WEDDING CELEBRATION

Last Sunday, We attended a traditional Malay wedding party at a country home resort near the city. It was a beautiful wedding celebration. The bridal couple was sitting on a well decorated stage where family members, relatives and guests could give their blessing by sprinkling them with yellow rice and scented water.
The blessing from a guest.

There were plenty of "makan" (food). We had a good time enjoying the traditional Malay cuisine, like curry, rendang, kurma, samba and other delicious dishes.

Guests enjoying the wedding celebration.

As we were leaving, we were given a "bunga telur" each. In Malay culture, bunga telur (flower egg), is distributed to each guests as the wedding ceremony‘s token.
