Malay Marriage Culture

Greetings.
I hope my friends are always happy. Some time ago I visited a museum in the City of Tanjungpinang, the museum area used is an old architectural building that is well maintained.

I tried to enter the museum, there are several rooms used to store ancient item and old photos that have historical value. In the last room in the museum I Saw a mini display showing the culture of Malay people in the process of carrying out a wedding.

Previously, the Malay region was LED by a Sultante over time, now the malays are not LED by a Sultante is still maintained and preserved to day. The process before marriage, like a man's family coming to a woman's family to look for information about the nature and character of the woman.

Then there is a process of harmony, proposing marriage, ring exchange process, giving shopping money from the man's family until the marriage contract process is carriage out by the official. There are witnesses from both families.

Wedding ceremony.
The wedding hall is a place where two brides and grooms stand side by side. Decorated with cloth and various flowers, Malay culture is a wedding place , not an ordinary wedding place but a wedding place with tiers of stairs.

For Malay people, wedding place can be seen from the stairs as level of social status, for example for ordinary families. The grand father's family and the Sultante family and equivalent.

Malay culture altars are equipped with flowers, pillows, mattresses,cloth to complement the wedding decorations in yellow,red and green.

Thank you Cross Culture Community. Thank you and happy days.
