Malaysian Chinese couple’s Malay-themed wedding ceremony in Iskandar Puteri, Johor
The wedding ceremony was held at an event hall in Iskandar Puteri, Johor, and at the start of the video, a group of men in traditional Malay attire entered the hall while playing the Kompang, a traditional musical drum instrument, a common practice during Malay wedding ceremonies.
The family of the couple follow suit, entering the hall behind the Kompang group while wearing Kebaya dresses and Batik shirts.
Next, a pink lion dance troupe entered the hall amidst Chinese drums complemented by the Kompang.
Afterwards, the bride and groom entered in beautiful pink Malay traditional attire, with the bride wearing a pink Kebaya, while the groom wore a pink Baju Melayu in full, including the Tengkolok.
They waved to the crowd as they made their way to the front of the hall to see the lion dance performance right before the video abruptly ended.
In the caption, @hushushushusna wrote, “This is a whole next level of cuteness”, while on the overlaid text of the video, she asserted,
“My husband got invited to a Chinese wedding, but the theme is Malay instead ?”

Malaysians are in awe of the beautiful wedding ceremony
In the comments section, netizens were impressed by the wedding ceremony, with many dubbing it a “1Malaysia wedding”.
Several commenters noted that the couple is most probably Peranakan Chinese, hence why they decided on a Malay-themed wedding, which is consistent with the Baba and Nyonya tradition.
Meanwhile, several commenters found the couple and their wedding ceremony to be very cute, with some even feeling the urge to get married again after seeing the video.
Besides that, one commenter said that wedding ceremonies such as this are worthy of being called wedding of the year rather than celebrity weddings, which are only meant to flaunt their wealth.
Several commenters were also amused by the couple walking very fast when they entered the hall, as it’s not a sight one commonly sees during weddings, especially by the bride and groom.
