The Chinese couple, as showcased by @ashawedding on TikTok, chose to celebrate their big day with a traditional Malay ceremony. Instead of the usual wedding attire, they donned elegant baju Melayu and kebaya outfits, and their bridal party and parents joined in, fully embracing the theme.
The wedding planner revealed that the groom, whose family works in the palm oil industry, wanted to honour their many Malay employees by incorporating Malay customs into the celebration. This thoughtful gesture has touched hearts online, showcasing the couple’s inclusivity and respect for Malaysia’s rich cultural tapestry.
The video of the wedding has racked up over 2.5 million views, with netizens praising the good-looking couple and the meaningful celebration, "Proud to see another race embracing Malay customs. Thank you, bro and family. I love this very much," one TikTok user commented.
Another added, "Very beautiful newlyweds! Even Malay brides don't wear kebayas as modest as this. So proud to see."
One netizen shared a similar experience, saying, "My brother also had a Malay-themed wedding because most of our neighbours are Malay. We are Chinese Bidayuhs from Sarawak, while my sister-in-law is a Chinese Thai from Melaka."
This viral wedding is not just a celebration of love but also a reminder of how Malaysia’s multicultural harmony can create unforgettable and meaningful moments.
