Dato’ Yahaya’s Son’s Wedding Reception

Mama and the whole family were invited to Dato’ Captain Yahaya Abd. Rahman and Datin Sharipah Mohamad’s son’s wedding reception at Perbadanan Kemajuan Pertanian Selangor building in Shah Alam, Selangor, today’s afternoon. I was there too.

I didn’t really know much about Dato’ and Datin but according to mama, Datin had lived next door to my grandparents in Seri Menanti, Negeri Sembilan, when she was a teenager. So, they were neighbours and extremely good friends.

It was quite a lavish and elegant wedding, you know! And guess - WHO WAS THE WEDDING PLANNER? No, not David Tutera, you silly! It’s none other than the famous Pak Engku from Kuzie Catering - one of Malaysia’s most renowned wedding planners, who also planned for Ning Baizura and Siti Nurhaliza’s wedding. 

This was absolutely a beautiful wedding, perfect for two beautiful newlyweds!

The newlyweds proceeded to the wedding dais (pelamin) where they were seated to receive their blessings. For those who don’t know, this process is called Upacara Merenjis dan Menepung Tawar.

It’s time for makan beradab. Sitting next to the groom is Tan Sri Zaini Omar, former director-general of Public Works Department, Malaysia.

While the newlyweds were enjoying their lunch at the high table with the VVIPs, the guests were royally entertained by two famous veteran singers, Rohana Jalil and Azizul Khamis.

Wanna know something that I didn’t actually know? Dato’ and Datin even made it to my wedding reception that day. How sweet of them for being there!
