The Playful Gesture of the Traditional 'Cake Tasting'
The Wedding: It was solemnised a long time ago
between Ainee a friend of Hank's daughter Azlin
and Hendroff a Caucasian.
Images: Attributed to Azlin and her friends
as a choice. Not strapless nor sleeveless but just as elegant, It was matched with
the groom dressed in Malay costume. Teary eyed Mom emotional as seen often
but not on this occasion looking brave as ever. Dad and family extending support
with their presence.
Friends of the bride threw in their lot accentuating their all, Not anything raucous
but enough. They squeezed in a Bachelorette Party. They sacrificed time for three
separate occasions, The Bachelorette, the akad (marriage vows ceremony) and the
wedding reception. Drawing on experiences and a variety of talents, they handled
it all for a modest outing hurriedly but perfect in execution
A whirlwind romance Hendroff and Ainee in matrimonial bliss uniting two families
from two continents. For them both we would gladly wish them the best for the
future, for that wonderful marriage made in heaven.
Blending two cultures
Supported by office mates
A blissful future
