Malay wedding usually span 2 days. But the excitement starts 3 days b4 the actual "bersanding" day.

Today is the "berinai kecik" day. My sister hands and legs will be stained with henna.

The Mahendi Artist came around noon. Sis need to leave the henna on for hours so.. if we start the henna tatooting in the evening, she won't be able to sleep comfortably as the henna need to be left overnight ... hahaha

Long long long ago, the Henna staining ceremony is much more elaborate affair..
Google it if you want to know more..


Her friends came. They had their hands painted as well..


Nowadays Henna come in tubes. I rather use the fresh crushed leaves. But it's hard to find henna trees nowaday.
