Since I was gonna be back in Malacca anyway this weekend, we decided to pop by the wedding. Even though it's in one of those small villages in the outskirts where you need about an hour's drive from town, I was still enthusiatic about going. Know why? Coz we have GPS!
Only to then find out that there wasn't any Jalan Kebun Sayur listed in the GPS! *gulp*So, we did what we do best.
ASK for directions. (Yea men out there, learn to ASK for directions will ya)
Even with directions coming from the only local pakcik we found, we ended up driving into really really narrow deserted roads including through a Chinese graveyard, almost knocking into those tombstones! aiyoyoyo...
Then this little signboard along the road brought us to the exact location.
Finally.
You can see we had to drive through some oil palm estate with real bumpy roads just to get to this so-called 'car park area'. Thank God Choy Phyll had not driven her new car here :)
The weather was quite chilly - a sign that the rain was coming. Other than that, it was nice to be outdoors in this pollution-free, quaint little village where the people welcomed us with open arms and a feast of traditional Malay dishes.
Roziah's sister led me into their house where I managed to take this picture of their pelamin (the 'thrones' they were going to be sitting in).

Both the bride and groom's side were standing by with the kompangs.
And here, the lovely newlyweds in pink walked hand-in-hand towards their pelamin.
Ain't the groom cool or what in his shades?
The surrounding cows and ducks and geese join in the joyous celebration as well.
For the first time in a wedding, we did not stay for the lunch (!) and left early.

Plus it wouldn't be much fun if we got stuck along this road while manouevring our way outta here.
It was a long journey yes, but I am mighty glad I made it to what I hope is Roziah's happiest day of her life and the beginning of a lifetime of love and joy with her hubby.
