Two Contrasting Cultures, Steeped In Traditions.

Here are the wedding pictures of my niece (Tracy Anak Temaga @Nor Alia) married to a Kelantanese Malay steeped in traditions; Iban Traditional wedding 'bersanding' and Malay Traditional 'bersanding' ceremony held in July 2006. It is truly reflections of the Malaysian Multi-cultural society. The Iban Traditional bersanding was held at the bride's Longhouse at Rumah Sadan, Sg Laong, Bakong, Baram District. Meanwhile the Malay akad nikah and bersanding was held at Dewan Suarah, Miri. Both ceremonies was attended by both families and friends of the couple.
