Punjabi Wedding Part VIII - Ipoh


Finally we had some rest on the bus.
Its a total of 7 hours ride. Stopped at several stop and escorted the bride to the toliet.
Drum and singing filled the bus, all the old hindi songs.
Its a long and unbearable journey, too tired, din really sleep cause I am too excited.

Finally around 8.30pm we arrived at the groom's place. Its a 2 storey landed property. The groom's family members jump off the bus and get ready to start the drum and singing for the arrival of the couple.

Singing and dancing started and leading the couple into the house, the bride's family followed behind. The couple have to step into the house with first their right legs.

The couple were seated on the sofa, the groom's auntie and mother present their gift and blessing. After that the couple were sent to their room upstair. We followed behind.
The couple were seated on the bed, the groom asked us to take a pic for them while he sent a suprise kiss on the bride's cheek. The bride shly smile.

Groom's nephew, big boy, around 20 years old, came in the room and sat on the bride's lap. He will not get up unless he was give a satisfied amount. Some bargaining take place, but the boy is too big, the bride finally give in.

When everyting is over, we went downstair and dinner is served. We ate the dishes catered from the one and only punjabi caterer in Ipoh. After dinner, the groom's family called 3 cabs to send us to the hotel.

The bride is unable to eat, she felt sad and scare that we are leaving her hehind, haha big baby. Finally we bid goodbye and board the taxi.
