My Brother got married

My brother got married last Thursday, 13 December. My sister in law hails from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah but now works in Petaling Jaya.

It was a joyous celebration as the couple got married according to Hindu rites, early Thursday morning at the Sakti Eswari Temple at Sungai Way, Petaling Jaya. On Saturday, 15 December they hosted a wedding reception at the Hotel Maya, Kuala Lumpur. The couple took their married vows amidst custom and rituals filled with pomp and flair, surrounded by Indian traditional music and religious mantras.

As the Hindu ceremony took place between 8.30am-10am, we had to get ready at the wee hours of the morning at about 4am for the wedding as we also had to travel from our home in Klang to Sungai Way. Although it was a working day, about 300 guests attended the wedding. My grand uncle, grand aunty and their son from Singapore graced the occasion with many other relatives and family members. The guests were also feasted to sumptuous Indian vegetarian dishes.

Both sides of the families are truly happy that these two people finally got married.

For the reception at the hotel, I was the emcee…in a romantic setting with flowers, Indian kuttu villaku and Indian music. The married couple finally revealed how they decided to tied the knot when they were at Mt Annapurna, Nepal.

The 250 guests were treated to a fusion of Chinese and Indian flavours and of course with wine and liquor. Beside the newly wed couple everyone was also in high spirit that night.

Oh I must have impressed people with my emcee skills as I had requests from guests to be emcee for the children’s wedding reception!

As usual will try to post some pictures later…ha…ha!

I end this post with the toast I proposed that night

“May your voyage through married life be filled with abundance of love, good health, prosperity, lots of happiness and be majestic as Mt Annapurna..to Alagappa & Ann”
