Now while underwater marriages are not new to Malaysia, it’s the first time it was held in the city center! Usually such things are held at beach resorts, probably under the sea. As the bride commented that the swimming pool was freezing cold, we can now understand why other folks prefer to hold it in the warm sea waters. :D

As the years go by, some traditions change while others remain. My cousins in Penang held their weddings complete with the requisite karaoke system. Whereas my cousins in Kota Kinabalu had the whole group of performers and even Kadazan dancers! I think that weddings are joyous occasions and it is perfectly normal to invite a huge group of family and friends to join in the festivities and happiness. But personally I draw the line when the wedding becomes the parents’ wedding instead! (o.O) You know… the scenario where the parents invite their friends and at the end you only recognise 50% of the guests as the rest are strangers? That’s just wrong. I think ideally, it would be nice to have a simple and quiet wedding. Where only close relatives and friends are there sharing in your joy. Perhaps at a nice sandy beach somewhere. Underwater? Well, we’ll see. ;)

What about you? How was your wedding like? What is your dream wedding? :D
