I've attended a wedding in Indonesia before this but this was the first time I attended an engagement ceremony. It's slightly different from Malaysia. Honestly, tak ingat sangat engagement kat Malaysia macam mane. The last engagement I went to was Sha's which was 2 years ago. Itupun gi skejap je (like around half an hour) cos I had a flight to catch.
What's the difference between the engagement ceremony in Indonesia and Malaysia? I guess I can say its more intimate in Malaysia. But now engagement ceremonies in Malaysia are becoming more like a wedding reception. Seriously! The amount of money some people spend on their engagement is almost the same as their wedding reception. But if they have the money and memang the family nak buat besar-besaran, silakan.
Another thing that was different is the future bride and groom sat right next to eat other throughout the whole thing. In Malaysia, the guy doesn't have to go to the ceremony. At my friend's engagement I didn't understand what the MC was saying throughout the whole thing cos he was speaking in Javanese. So I can't really elaborate the whole event. But in the end, I had fun and am happy I get to experience a different kind of culture.
