The wedding was held at Balung Cocos last weekend. Wak Ijan is my MIL sister. The whole family coming from Perth to celebrate her son wedding here. As usual when the wedding begins a lot of Cocos tradition need to follow before the groom can see the bride. I think the tradition so sweet and happening! The best moment is when the bridegroom parents throw the money means in cocos dialet "Amburan Wang" to the closed family and some guest they will start to grab the money..huh...I think this moment so much fun..hahahha!Everyone will be more excited expecially for those nekwan and me also ahax! Siap ada yang terjatuh keranamu big note! After that Tokwan will be doing some Silat while the bridegroom di arak keluar rumah. Then Cocos dance will be more fun called "Melenggok" then the pengantin can sit at the sweet pelamin.
Evening activies goes to the kids and adults games. They called "Tiang Bubutan". Only for male participant. Two bamboo pole 1 for adults and 1 for the kids so they need climb at the bamboo pole with grease until the top of the bamboo. The top of tiang bubutan they hang with the best gift and if they got the flag they will be earn money RM500.00. So difficult to get closed at the top. So the participant enjoying to try again an again to get the big note!
