ATTENDING A WEDDING RECEPTION OF A NEIGHBOUR'S SON

These days, wedding receptions are usually done in wedding halls and no longer at the homes of the brides and grooms. Today however I went to attend the event held at the house of the bride. The invitation came from the groom's father who is my neighbour. We were invited to the receptions of the bride's side in Kampung Pasir.

To be seated at the same table with six other people from my neigbourhood would be something very rare for me.

There was a real invitation card sent before the reception. We now only receive e-card on social media platform like WhatsApp.

Another traditional practice that we encountered today was we were given packed food to bring home before going home. This was something common many years ago.

There was another wedding reception of a neighbour's son which will be held at his house tomorrow.
