Dear Friends,
Wedding reception of bride & groom, Nimi and Aaron at Sutra House.
23 August, 2024
Hosted by
Dr Azimah Pilus (Nimi’s Mum).
This special wedding reception for the couple’s friends who came all the way from US, held at Sutra House, had an Indian theme, from the cuisine meticulously curated by Sivarajah Natarajan, right to the Odissi performance by Sutra dancers (Geethika Sree, Vickneshwaran & Tan Mei Mei).
Dr Azimah, who has been an ardent supporter of Sutra, mentioned in her speech of her wish to take the opportunity of the wedding celebration, to feature the rich diversity of Malaysian multi-cultural experience to her American guests. They were feted with an exclusive Indian theme in Sutra House, and latter with a Malay ‘bersanding’ and wedding dinner reception at her apartment and Chinese Peranakan, in Penang.
Blessings rained from the heavens and guests were cozily entertained with dance and dinner in the studio surrounded by drawing exhibition of ‘Glance of a Dance’ by six Malaysian visual artists, of Sutra dancers.
Nimi and Aaron exchanged wedding garlands and there was also cake-cutting ceremony celebrating Nimi’s birthday and Aaron’s graduation on completing his MBA.
Gifts of songket-sampins for the men and mengkuang for the women followed after dinner. The men were given lesson on how to wear the ‘baju Melayu’ with the sampin, which they took seriously as they would be wearing them at the Malay wedding reception.
Some of the guests had just arrived the very morning from different parts of the US.
We wish the couple a memorable celebration of this special occasion and a wonderful wedded future together.
Sutra
