BIG BIRTHDAY SHOUTOUT TO MR ROPIN OF MVISION CINEMAS!
Heppy Barfday bro! Semoga panjang umur dan murah rezeki…
————————————————-
I’m back from my very very short walkabout to KK. The primary objective of my trip was to capture a mixed marriage ceremony (Pakistani bride and Kadazan/Malay groom) which took place in a place called Limbanak about 15 minutes from Kota Kinabalu. The event was also covered by a camera crew from RTM for a cultural series which will be aired later this year. The heat was sweltering and by the time I was done, I was seriously looking forward to a looong dip in the condo pool 😀
The road to Limbanak
Had to make sure I remembered the spelling of the place somehow 😉
Lovely young ladies dressed in traditional Kadazan garb
Mother of the groom and sister of the bride
Senyum la ba… heheeh
One of the customs involves the B&G feeding each other…. sound familiar?
The B&G
Gettin jiggy wit it! Doin da Semazau!
The program host from RTM was sporting enough to sing for the guests 🙂
It was a sizzling hot day but the sunset was enough to cool anyone down….

Lovely photos AB! Interesting jua.. ah, I love mixed marriages, when I was in Miri, I got to know many Chindian families and siok lah liat them together…
Your saudara kah AB? The bride wore an interesting version of the baju Kadazan
Love the lovely young ladies … 😀
lisadragon: thank you and I am fascinated by mixed marriages too, being a product of one myself 😉
Jewelle: yup the bride is related to me. In what way is the baju interesting?
Zul: yes, you would 😛
mula2 tingu..mcm sumandak… i mean.. kedazan dusun..lepas tu ada imbas mcm bajau kota belud… lepas tu lagi… muka the bride ada mcm pra sikit… pra ni pakistan lah…
SyazliE: eh, sia rasa kan, pra ni peranakan ba… Jewelle, betul ka?
aik… kalau we..in KK… the guys call each other “Pra Ji”
AB, the way she wore the long sleeve blouse inside her baju kadazanlah. Don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone did that before. She could actually have it made into a long sleeve like the Papar style. Even I modified my wedding baju kadazan and had it made in a more demure short-sleeved, instead of the original sleeveless style.
By the way, it’s obviouslah that the bride is a Pakistani – no Kadazandusun or even Bajau face at all (in my eyes lah) – and they will have very beautiful children I can tell!
Ya its an interesting variation of the original design 🙂 Do u still have yr wedding baju? heheh
The bride is pure pakistani, the groom is half-kadazandusun half-malay 🙂 and yes their off-spring will be gorgeous!
