28th November 2011 was my cousin's (Maslyn) wedding. I took a flight from KK on Friday night and it was sure a bumpy one because it was raining quite heavily that night. I missed the akad nikah and was already late for the 'malam berinai'. When I arrived, it was already the photography session and some relatives were already preoccupied with the karaoke set.
So here's how we do it in Labuan... Firstly when the groom arrive, they'll exchange greetings and then one of the bride's family member will recite some doa and selawat before allowing the groom to enter. And the the groom will be brought to circle an umbrella for 7 times. But these days people simplified this practice with only doing so for 3 times
And then comes the besanding part. The tepung tawar thingy was done during malam berinai so basically during the besanding, the newly weds just sit there and let people look at them and take pictures. (^^)
Here's my favourite part of all! \(^^)/ Makan suap suap!
I actually don't know what's the formal name for this. This is just what I created myself since I was little. What I like about this one is that actually the pengantin belumba2 suap. There are 3 rounds so they belumba la sapa bole kasi habes the 3 rounds first..
Masa kecil2 dulu, my cousin and I always curi makan the pengantin leftovers. Orang tua2 cakap nanti cepat kawen. My cousin suda kawen.. Me belom lagi hehe So I think what the orang tua said is so not true hehe
So here's another family picture with the pengantin..
And then we went to Grand Dorsette to enjoy the fo0d festival hehe :P
So that's it.. The Wedding: Labuan style (^^)/
We were amongst the early birds for the big event on Sunday. Well, each of us were given our own task so that was why we were so early. Actually a few minutes before this pic was taken, I was still in my track suit and t-shirt and was carrying watermelons and some other things hehe
This is my cousin's pelamin. Very nice indeed!

This is our family photo with the pengantin. At the centre there, that's auntie Maranih, the bride's mom (^^)
Then after photography session with family and friends, comes the 'potong kek'. When I was little, they usually do this on Sunday nights. So, in the past it was nikah on Friday, malam berinai on Saturday, bersanding on Sunday (usually morning to midday) and then the ceremony ended with potong kek on Sunday night. But now, everybody is so busy that everything is done in one or two days.
As you can see my cousin is wearing cheong sam there. Well, we have some chinese blood in us but for my cousin Maslyn, her dad is chinese. So she's like more chinese than all of us.. Get it?? Hurm.. I'm also little confuse with what I'm trying to say here
