I had a great time last night during my nephew's wedding reception. The reception started at 6 pm, however the real party started as the newlywed open the dance floor.

As we arrived at the reception, only few guests had arrive. Since we're one of the earlies guests, we had the chance to take photos in lot of actions! My creative nieces had this idea and doa Boomerang shoot. Here's the result.

We were seated at one reserved table as we're considered VIP from the groom side. The tables were arranged nicely with water and refreshment on it.

On the table they provided a big bottle of mineral water, Coke and 100 plus. There were also goodies and traditional cuisine called 'Kelumpis' placed on the table for guests to eat while waiting for dinner.

As guesses started to arrive, the newlywed and their parents line-up at the hall's entrance to greet them.

Then at about 7.30 pm the party proceed with a word of welcome from the MC, followed by inviting the newlywed and their parents to come inside hall. The MC then announced that its dinner time and called a respected community leader, a lady to give prayer before dinner. The prayer was in Bidayuh language and we were like blur on what she was saying. Everybody do the Sign of Cross, then we do the same...LOL.

The dinner was a tasty one and in buffet style. There were about ten types of dishes served! I took all dishes and ended up filling so many food in my plate....LOL.. What? I'm hungry! Unfortunately, I forgot to take photo of my plate. 😋😋😉 The food was awesomely delicious.

After dinner, it was time for the bride and groom to cut the cake and do a toast to the audience in Bidayuh's style. Instead of saying Cheers! or Yam sing!, they said 'Taro taro taro!'.

The newlywed was invited to performed a romantic dance on stage followed by speech from the groom and bride, the bride's father emotional speech and the groom's father funny speech.

No one wants an empty dance floor at their reception. My nephew had hired a local band to entertain that night. As soon as guests finished their dinner, the band started to play a local famous song, and I was so surprised to see guests like possessed came to the dance floor and move their body to beat of the music!

This is the most fun of the dinner reception...the MC announced that the party will end at 1AM. Wow!.. Its been long time since I went to a party and come home that late...LOL.

Overall it was a fun night, by 1AM, I was dead tired. Some of the guests who still in the mood for party proceed to the bride's house for more Yamcha, Chit chat and Karaoke sessions. The next day, my nephew informed us that the party went on till 3.30AM. Wow! the people here really know how to party!
