Luckily Your Hand Does Not Smell Prawn Paste

You May Now Kiss My Hand

The Way It Is Done

Bandaraya Mosque Likas

You can choose Bandaraya Mosque Likas to solemnise the marriage but you have to make a booking early.

Wedding Venue

One of the best wedding venue is at Foyer Yayasan Sabah Likas Inanam Kota Kinabalu.

It Is The Main Table

Cocos Islander Community Wedding

Is Everything Alright

You must do a rehersal at least a day before the wedding to see if the program runs smoothly including the music, dance performances, singing, cue that would help the MC and the Technicians to their job better.The guests may feel bored if there is no music, no performance and there are too many gaps in between the programs.

Taboo

The bride has to observe certain taboo before the marriage. She cannot meet and see the bridegroom for fear that there is no more aura in her. It is not so much of a taboo but to reduce stress and enthusiasm as that may create some problem in the form of hiccups before the wedding.

Even the bridegroom has to observe this as there had been instances when the bridegroom did not come to the wedding for certain reasons like accidents. So guys and girls better listen to your mum eh.

Are you Ready?

You have to condition the bride before the wedding so that she looks prettier. I took the bride to a SPA to have a whitening scrub and milk bath in a jacuzzi,back massage, facial and eyebrow uplift. It only cost RM200 for the whole package.Next is to give a flower bath to the bride to give the extra natural energy and aura.. The makeup artist will do the rest including the accessories that she has to wear for her wedding night.

Give Ang Pow

Dont forget those who had given their servies, so give 'angpow' lo. Get ready the 'ang pow' early in packets, so they dont see how much you had given them (ka...ka..ka).

Dont Panic

As the days draw closer, say 1 week, you will just have to review your works and action, including the guests list, food and beverages, tables and chairs, performance, dances, singing, multimedia presentation, sound system, PA System, transportation, accomodation, security, decorations, 'pelamin', door gifts,tasks for the Committee members, wedding concept, thank you speech, 'merinjis ceremony' etc and etc.

Knowledge Is Power

For those people who aspires to wed must first register themselves and take the marrige course with Majlis Ugama Islam (MUI). It would cost RM80 for a 2 days course. You will then be given a Certificate to register your marriage with the Jabatan Hal Ehwal Agama Islam.

If your partner comes from outstation, say other States, he or she must register at that State and send the documents to be registered at the place of marriage. I thought getting married is as easy as 1-2-3, but a lot of bureaucracy, isnt it?

They said divoce cases are increasing and the reason to organize such a course.

Whatever it is, the marriage registration should be facilitated as I understand it would also take some time for the documents to be registered!

Cocos Islander Community Wedding

My daughter has chosen the Cocos Islander Community Wedding. Even considering the Bestman and Bestlady to be in Cocos costume. Planning to make her wish come true.

Affordable Venue

Foyer Bangunan Sabah provides an affordable wedding venue if you want something different outside the Hotel and cheaper. You can do your own concept and deco. Lots of parking space and nostagic and historical and symbolic venue.
