Life in Malaysia: Bersanding

Bersanding is the Malay term for when the bride and groom sit next to each other on a beautifully decorated dais on their wedding day. If you recall my previous entries on Aunty Anoy and Cekmi's weddings (you can search my archive, OK?), you could see the photographs of them bersanding with their respective spouses.

Aunty Anoy and her groom "bersanding".

Cekmi and his bride "bersanding".

Do you get the concept? Remember, bersanding means bride and groom sitting next to each other on the dais. Now, what do we call this act by father and son? Is this bersanding too?
