Destination Weddings in MalaysiaWhy not get married in Malaysia, a beautiful and diverse Asian nation? Weddings in Malaysia are a great cause for celebration, infused with age-old traditions which you can choose to incorporate into your wedding day.
During the ceremony, the couple will exchange rings, then the groom will kiss the bride and present her with a bouquet of flowers. They will then serve tea to their parents and other elders who are present, who give the couple red packets containing money and jewelry. Weddings can be held in a church or hotel, or outside in one of Malaysia's beautiful parks.
Malaysia, which is made up of Peninsular Malaysia and the eastern provinces of Sabah and Sarawak, is one of the most relaxed and inviting nations in Asia. From the soaring skyscrapers of ultramodern Kuala Lumpur to the verdant tea plantations and picturesque landscapes that cover much of the country, it is a delight to visit.
The colonial influence of China, Portugal, the Netherlands and Britain over the centuries has left its mark on Melaka, Malaysia's most historic city. Ancient temples, churches and antique shops are scattered throughout the charming streets, and the Dutch town hall, which dates from the mid-17th century, is unmissable, not least because of its striking pink color.
Penang and Tioman Islands are both renowned for their stunning beaches. Penang Island features the fascinating city of Georgetown on its northeastern coast, while Tioman Island has a string of villages along its west coast, giving way to interiors of dense jungle and dramatic mountains.
The romantic Cameron Highlands, in the center of Peninsular Malaysia, are overwhelmingly beautiful, with waterfalls, tea plantations, gardens, jungles and countless wild flowers.
A Malaysian wedding is your chance to experience this stunning country for yourselves. Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous influences combine to create a fascinating culture in an awe-inspiring natural setting. |
