Jed and I were invited to a Muslim wedding this Valentine's Day. Our security guard, Mansud, invited some of us living in Leonie Hill Towers to his nieces wedding. Our friend, Sue Figov, was also invited. It was a blazing hot day, and the party was held on the ground floor in the HDB (Housing Development Board) where they live. Mansud and his wife were so welcoming. They took care to find us a seat, introduce us to others, lead us to the food, refill our drinks (juice only), and pose for a family picture. The Malay buffet was delicious, especially the beef randang. The desserts were not so good, and like the Chinese wedding we attended, the cake is only for decoration. The live band was pretty good; a large family that played instruments and sang. It was so funny, one family guest pulled Sue and I up to dance as soon as we finished eating. We were the only one's dancing, while the "locals" smiled at us and snapped photos. Needless to say, we worked up quite a sweat. Apparently, after we said our goodbyes, the dancing began and continued into the evening. It was sweet of Mansud to include us in such a special family occasion.
