September Wedding Bells

I just got back from Singapore and Malaysia, after attending two wedding dinners in Malaysia. It was a good catch up with family and friends and boy, September is really an auspicious month to tie the knot! In just two weekends, there were so many wedding functions in the hotels and ballrooms.

Fresh flowers for the brides maid and wedding decoration.

It was fun to be part of the ji mui session(it is a Chinese tradition which is also adapted by the Chinese community in Malaysia, where the bridesmaids will arrange strings of games for the bridegroom and his best-men (a.k.a heng dai) when they pick up the bride at her house - some called it bridenap, which is a combination of the word bride and kidnap), though the preparation may require an amount of effort.

You could say, it is one of the main highlights in the Chinese wedding ceremony and the best part is, the bridesmaids can be mean (such as injecting wasabi paste into banana for the best-men to eat, requesting the best-men to pick up coins that are submerged into flour with mouth, etc) to the best-men without any guilt!:p

Nah, just kidding.

Anyway.....

May all the newly weds live happily ever after, as in fairy tales.
