a malay wedding

the average malay wedding has come a long way:-
where previously,
1. elders were seated at the main table, it is not unusual now to have a dato titled guest as the VIP, there being so many dato's now that it would not be difficult to get 1 to attend .
2. the venue would be chock a block with vehicles, now one can always round up a few RELA guys with the promise of an allowance.
3. you just have a sombre doa selamat, now you have at least a passable PA system.
4.door gifts of an egg in a very simple manila card holder, now they are replaced by a few titbits in a gift bag.
5. the food would always never escape being the topic of conversation thereafter and would in most instances be quite delicious.
