india trip 2

From Sri Lanka to Cochin..we finally arrived...
the story continues....

We arrived in Cochin after 2 hours of flight..It was a nice,medium sized city, tho a lil dusty...

Okay,the accomodation was good,tho my room smells like curry(rempah kaw2)..not cool.....prolly coz atas dapur kot,lol...but still uncool.....

SO after dressing up, kami bertolak ke wedding which was around 200Km away...lol
it took us 3 hours....and believe it or not, along the 200km, all i see was settlements and humans!

Okay..enough about that...

This is how an Indian Muslim's wedding goes.

• The guests are huddled up in a hall, and yea,it's like watching a concert
• The Ustaz arrives
• He sits on the chair at the middle o the stage and gives a sermon
• At the middle of the stage,basically there;s a table and several chairs
• Kirenye itu tempat akad nikah
• So the groom arrives
• He sits,and also saksi-ed by his father in law, the akad nikah process begins,
• They shake hand,agree upon everything, he signs the marriage cert. and everything is done.
• So he hugs his father in law first, and then, the guests of honor gets to hug him too,in a prize giving ceremony way,without calling out names...
• Done?yep, it's makan2 time...
• (see Pictures below)
  

P/s: I was imagining sumthing like hindustan movie stuff,but xde....They don't have the bersanding stuff..a simple wedding it is.

Food time....whew,orgasmic, that's what i can say,,even the best mamak shops cant beat it...
