Thoughts on Malay Weddings

I feel a bit sad whenever I go to weddings because more often than not, it feels very impersonal. The Malay wedding ceremony is so decked up, the bride and groom placed on a dais away from the guests, the guests a mix of close personal friends and who’sthatnow?-mustbeafriendofmyuncle’sdaughter’sboyfriend, and the ceremony being merely a showing off of the people already married - I just feel that if I hadn’t gone, I wouldn’t be missed. And therefore I usually don’t go.

There is so much emphasis on the appearance of the ceremony that I don’t know how much thought goes into making the ceremony personal… the way I’d imagined weddings to be. Perhaps they are my own romantic dreams that don’t coincide with how a lot of other people’s notion of romanticism. Malay weddings are often a pretty fishbowl with the guests looking in, cooing at their temporary splendor before the married couple go off to live their perfectly average married life.

With this off my chest, I’m looking forward to being there for my own friends’ weddings. They make anything worth it.
