'Hantaran'


Damn....how does one pack all the stuff above and get them to India uncrushed??!!!Arrrgghhhh!But they look sooooooooooooo pretty!Colour theme:maroon,gold and silver.....such 'indian' colours though!Hahaha...

'Hantaran':exchange of gifts between the bride and the groom in traditional Malay weddings made up mostly of edibles with maybe a Quran, the 'Mehr', and a tapak sirih (betel leaves).But clothes,accessories,jewelleries and other adornmnets make up most of the 'hantarans' these days as decorative pieces 'dressed up'as eye candy for visitors of both sides of the family to ogle at.
