A Wedding

A friend got married recently. It was a beautiful wedding.

They had their nikah in a large mosque, attended by family and close friends.

There were exchanges of vows in a beach-side pavillion in Bali. A toast was made by the best man who was suitably suited in a tuxedo.

The bride and groom paid homage to the ancestors after the customary tea drinking ceremony at the parent's house.

The imam read a prayer for the bride and groom and the end of the bersanding, we had yam seng for their prosperity at the fancy reception in a large ballroom.

The chinese bride wore a resplendent white kebaya and the malay groom was in an exquisite silk red mandarin shirt.

I love cultural diversity and tolerance.
