A niece's Malay-'Scottish' wedding ceremony

Peace be upon you all. Today Friday the date is 1st March 2013 or 1.3.13. The nice date made me feel compelled to make new postings in every of my blogspots starting with this one.


Last Sunday, me and family went to a niece's wedding ceremony.


The niece is the eldest daughter of my wife's brother.


First we sat waiting under a canopy.


The wedding ceremony (the niece and husband have officially tied the knot a week earlier) was held at a hall in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) campus, Jalan Semarak, Kuala Lumpur.



Walking around I saw what is a rather curious sight for a Malay wedding ceremony, a 'Scottish' band with kilts, bagpipes and all waiting to spring into action.





The ceremony was started with the family procession walking into the hall...


The band led in front playing their music. By the time I took this picture they were practically out of sight.







The band then settled at a corner.


The wedded couple also took their place...




A look around.





The wife and our baby, Johan.


A guest which used to be a quite popular singer, a middle-eastern guy known as Imad was invited to belt out a piece. For the record this is the 1,111th article in this blogspot.
