The bersanding event to show once again the bride and groom as husband and wife to a more wider circle of people. The bersanding is a grand event with a decorated platform where the bride and groom will be seated. The newlyweds are dressed with lavish attire in front of hundreds of guests. It is the event with the biggest number of guests. With more options available and to ensure ease during the big event, the bersanding is increasingly organised in hotels and halls.
The post-wedding events include the malam ambil-ambilan held in the evening. The concept is similar to a wedding reception where family members of the bride and groom celebrate as one big family.
Another post-wedding event is balik tiga hari that marks the moving of the groom into the bride's family's house until they choose to build their own house. The balik tiga hari is a formal visit by the newlyweds to the groom's family's house.
Modern couples today have more flexible views on how they can organise their wedding. Fortunately through education, commercialisation, and simplification of processes have allowed for the number of functions practiced to be lesser or allow the combination of event.
Such decisions however depend on the parents of both bride and groom as it has been said that the "bride and groom's marriage is the family's wedding".The Brunei Times
