Ingredients for a FUN WEDDING

By -



The food that the groom and his entourage have to endure during a typical Chinese Wedding before they are allowed to even enter the house.

Normally the "Chi Mui's" (Female Friends & Relatives of the Bride) will prepare something for the groom and his entourage of "Heng Tai's" to consume for the sake of having fun.

The food signifies the process that a couple has to go through in their entire life. ie: "Tim" - The Sweet, "Suen" - Sour, "Fu" - Bitter & lastly "Lat" - Hot/Heat

There are many variations to this game and in our experience, there's always something new concocted.

Every culture's wedding ceremonies is unique already with their own customs and traditions. For example an Indian wedding will have many similarities across all the Indian traditions and yet it's their sub-culture's customs which makes them stand out individually, thus we are able to differentiate which sub-culture they belong to. The milk bathing ceremony is practiced by Ceylonese Indians, they are from Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, an island just at the south of India. It takes place very early at home of the groom before they just before they start the journey to the temple proper to perform the wedding ceremony. Blessings from elders are a must to ensure good fortunes and well being of the groom. We at Jet Fynn Photography have done plenty of these. Thanks to the environment that we are operating in - Malaysia, Truly Asia!

Sometimes we get enquiries from many clients asking us whether we do something different from what the usual studios are offering.

We take time to actually know you a little, ask you what type of response you like to have from people looking at your graduation photos. Some would like to have grand looking graduation pictures / portraits, some may want to show that "sense of achievement", some would like to be proud of themselves and some would ask for something really out of the ordinary. (That we always do....hehehehe.) Hence, our graduation pictures have many of our clients recommending their juniors and other friends to check us out. We may not post much here, just drop by and tell us what you want and we will take it from there. Though our photography studio is based in Ipoh, to date, we have had clients not only from Ipoh, we had people from Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Kedah, Mel

Be it a Chinese wedding, Indian wedding, Malay wedding or even amongst other cultures ie: Western / Christian weddings. Of course there are variations to that theme like a necklace but rings take precedence in most weddings. Here's one exchange of ring photo to share:
