The Church and or Court (Registry)
wedding stage: Due to Western influence and Christianity, a wedding ceremony is not
completed until the couples are blessed are the church and the wedding is legalized
at the court or registry. This is based on individual difference; some couples
prefer to carry out both church wedding (the Muslim equivalent is known as
Niqqai) and the court wedding while some would go to church or the court alone.
The essence is to provide religious and or legal backing to the union.
The reception: This is the last stage
before the couple leave for their honeymoon where the guests are entertained.
The highlight of the reception is the toast and the who’s next bouquet
throwing. At the end of the reception, another couple would have join the train
of newly wedded moving on to face the reality of “happily ever after” and
endless bliss.
