Engagement Ceremony.

Last week, we went balik kampung. It's the school holidays. So what's up? Well...we're having a kenduri, that's what.

My sister in law Rose is getting engaged. My father in law decided to do it big. "Biar tumbang lembu sekor" he said. What to say, Rose is the youngest in the family and the last yet to get hitched.

On the big day, things started going in the early morning. A cow has been slaughtered and its meat taken back for processing.

~Meat cutting~

Everyone around came to help. They have been assigned with specific tasks. I helped around, here and there.

~My beras..errr biras, Shahril~

~Ladies at work~

~Pak Teh, Abang Ngah, Ayah...discussing~

Some of the 'hantaran' from our side..

~Betel leaves (daun sirih) are a must~

In the afternoon, it all begins. The groom-to-be has arrived...
Ayah is all dressed up in baju melayu complete with samping.
The 'hantaran' is exchanged. Discussion follows after that regarding the engagement. Terms and conditions apply hehe...

Some of the 'hantaran' received...

~Bekas cincin~

~Telekung~

Then it all ends and Rose is officially engaged to her fiance, Shahril. Yep, there are Shahrils in the family. Let's decide how to differentiate them later...

~Rose with her fiance, Shahril...all smiles~

I guess all's well ends well.
Our family wishes Rose and Shahril all the best and may their hope tranlates into marriage as planned next year.
