Subas's wedding @ JB
subas is one of my indian ex-colleague (ya, he travelled to china n speaks chinese) who is a malaysian n hence his wedding was held in JB. this is my first time attending an Indian's wedding and it's really an eye-opener.
pic of a peacock drew using coloured sand (i tink) at the entrance of the hall~~
wedding hall was set up wif bright decorative lights and little pavilions along the stretch from e entrance to the stage~~
women holding lighted flowery candles getting ready to walk in~~
the aisle lined wif red carpet and the little pavilions~~
e stage at e front of the hall, where e groom n bride will perform their ceremony~~ tink a very impt part is the lighting of the sacred fire, where they've to offer lotsa stuffs like crushed sandalwood, herbs, sugar rice, etc to the ceremonial fire.
it's a tradition for the groom n bride to seat on the stage while we went up to offer our blessings~~
grp pics wif all my ex & current colleagues~~
