Don't blame me for doing this to you! He warned me. “Yes dad, I’m coming!” Be patient!" I replied. I knew they were very excited to see our grandparents, but I wasn't ready yet! I don't have time to put on makeup; I closed the bags and quickly rushed to the car with a pink colored luggage and my favorite backpack We were heading towards our grandparents' house which is located in Teluk Intan, one of the most beautiful towns in Perak because of its famous tower. Leaning Tower looks a lot like the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy. When we arrived, the atmosphere of my village was peaceful, without the hustle and bustle of the city. The neighbors were Malays, Chinese and Indians. They were very friendly and helpful Even though we rarely went to visit our grandparents, they still greeted us. The reason we are in Perak is because we were going to attend a wedding ceremony held at our grandparents' house. while my aunt Marina got married to her fiancé, Hamdan. This wedding ceremony was so important that all the relatives and neighbors knew about it. It took place at our grandparents' house because it would be easier for us to come together as a big family. I saw many tents, tables and chairs placed in front of the house. The tents were arranged in a row and beautifully decorated. At the end of the tents arranged, there were beautiful tables for the bride and groom to eat. Floral designs were usually used to decorate the ceremony. The theme of this wedding was the mix of pink and white colors. This is because...... middle of paper ......o forms a bouquet. Usually we also distribute bunga telur with a handful of yellow sticky rice. What I knew about the egg is that it is the symbol of fertility for the couple to be blessed with children. Little did I know that each piece given to guests had a very deep meaning. After doing some research, I found out that the fishing rod is the symbol of a flagpole which is a place to hoist a flag, and it is the flag of a Malaysian's life principles. The decorative paper for the fishing rod is a symbol of the host's hope to maintain a lasting friendship with the guest. While the yellow sticky rice is a way for the host to atone for any mistakes that might occur during the feast. We were very tired of conducting this ceremony, but I discovered that this tradition should not be forgotten by the next generation, because every aspect of this ceremony had more meaning..
