Day One Reception : Unedited 14th March 2009

all my guests are invited to partake a meal on that saturday afternoon. talking about the food, it is prepared based on gotong-royong or cooperation among neighbors and relatives, for which the Malays are most well known for. foods like nasi briyani gam, kambing, and ayam golek are mostly imported from batu pahat, johore cooked by my father's relatives. apart from that, all guests are also presented with a bunga telur each. literally, this means 'flower and egg' and the egg actually symbolizes a fertile union and the hope that the marriage will produce many children. hehehe insya-Allah. well, the feast went noisy and was a lively affair. just like what i always wanted. a troup of people beating the kompang, groom flanked by bunga manggar, a busload of relatives and friends....nice. next is the menepung tawar session where our relatives sprinkled petals and rice as a fertility symbols on us, seated on the throne.. :)
