Haziq and Afiqah's Wedding

      Haziq is my cousin, well host cousin. Yesterday he had his wedding reception and the day before yesterday was his solemnization. During both ceremonies I was able to see things that I have never seen before. During the solemnization, Haziq and his dad and the bride's dad and some other men who are related all sat in a a circle with the Ustaz, holy man, and they were all agreeing upon the marriage. When everything is finalized and everyone has agreed, the Ustaz will say sah, meaning that it's final, the couple is now legally married.

      The following day was the reception. There was a lot of yummy food and delicious deserts. There was an adorable photo booth and all the family had matching baju kurungs. The adults had orange and the little kids wore brown. When the husband and wife came in and made there grand appearance, there was the family behind them and behind them was the rombongang. It was as if they were royalty, there was someone holding the brides dress from behind and when they got to there "thrones' as I call it, there were two people fanning them. 

      After the wedding I went with my other cousins and we went shopping at Kotaraya, and we ate at a very down to earth restaraunt called dapur gendela. There was a lot of decorations that looked recycled and it was a nice atmosphere. We waited forever for our food and drinks though. My iced cappuccino was pretty good, but I don't think it was really worth the wait. Afterwards we went to a thrift shop. It was pretty fun because it was my first time going to a thrift shop in Malaysia and everything was super cheap.
