A Wedding, Singaporean-Malay style.
Weddings are always a happy occassion. Relatives and friends coming together to share the joy of the couple tying the knot. Here are some candid snap-shots of a cousin's wedding. In Singapore, the Malays usually will hold the wedding reception at the void-deck of the flat's block where they are staying or in community halls. Couples with bigger budget will have their reception in restaurants. My cousin - the bride - had her reception at the void-deck. Very typical Malay.

Guests helping themselves to the food.
Chicken in spicy sauce. The chicken pieces are first fried. The spicy sauce is later poured over the chicken pieces. The spicy sauce is made up of grounded ingredients - shallots, garlic, dried chillies, coriander, fennel & cumin seeds, ginger and tomato paste.
Dalca - a curry. This curry is a vegetable dish. But, pieces of mutton are usually added to give it more flavour. The dish ingredients are - dhal, curry paste, potatoes, carrots, brinjals and string beans.
Briyani Rice - a rice dish cooked in ghee (clarified butter), full cream milk, sliced onions, cardamon, cloves, star anise, cinnamon, mint & coriander leaves, a sprinkling of saffron. Sometimes, raisins and cashew nuts are added.
Another spicy dish - Beef Rendang. The ingredients are - beef, dried chillies, shallots, garlic, ginger, galangal (blue ginger), tumeric. Herbs such as lemongrass, tumeric leaf, bay leaf and kaffir lime leaf are added to give a very fragrant and delicious smell to the dish.
A salad - cucumber, turnip, pineapple and green apple.
The salad dressing - spicy peanut sauce.
The dessert counter - bite-sized traditional Malay cakes.
Again the dessert counter - cut fruits.
Another dessert - an all-time favourite - banana fritters.

Having clocked up 36 years of marriage myself, I would like to wish the couple every happiness for the future.
As for the photos, I think you have made an excellent job of caturing the day.
