JUST A SIMPLE 1

Just done a very simple small ceremony requested by my mum during last holiday, something like sending dowry. Only within my family & guy's side. Thanks for those who spend time to come especially to my own siblings, their kids & a friend for supporting, helping cooking & prepared things. As I said I just prefer simple & don't want to make others feel difficult. Even my brother felt guilty he unable to come back. Nothing else I need actually other than blessing & understanding from every of my family members, that's it. The following journey after this is far more important.
.
Ignore the background, I know it's messy.

.
Different culture different family will request different things. For my family, especially my mum had requested:
.
- 2 different types of cottons
- 2 packs of sweet
- 2 packs of red dates
- 2 stem of sugarcane
- 2 kg of pork
- 1 pair of live chicken
- 2 bottles of honey
- 2 bottles of, suppose to be lihing but been changed to sparkling juice
- cakes
- 20 boxes of cake for distribution
.
Nothing much here, lucky that my family didn't request thing like buffalos or set of gong. The only not-so-logic-thing here you can see is the 20 boxes of cake. What to do, just full fill what had been requested, we sent & distribute the cakes to our relatives after the ceremony.
.
For my dad request, he didn't request anything including any cash of 'Berian'. Yes, none. Our marriage signing is enough for him, he just wished us to be happy ever after & have a good life.
.
.
The above cake has the most fans on that day. ^_^ Thanks for the home made baker accepted my order, it was seriously hard for me to look for home made cake during that time around. It was school holiday & wedding season. I'd ordered it from Atiqah Kitchen.

Hi Gallivanter, thanks for dropping by & congrats to you too. Visited your blog & saw your photos, it's beautiful & from the photos I can know & believe it was fun. :))

kris, every wedding will be unique ba. hehe.. got kecoh also, sure got kecoh eventhough small & simple. The only different is lagi grand lagi bnyk & besar kecoh, & we tried to avoid it.
