Assalamualaikum, it is a pleasure to write on one of the vanishing traditions of Brunei Malay's wedding. Majlis Berbedak Mandi literally translated means 'Powdered and Shower Ceremony'. The event marks the start of several ceremonies toward the actual wedding day. At the Berbadak Mandi' the bride or bridegroom will sit in the middle of a room surrounded by very close and elder family members from the mother and father's sides of the families. Led by the oldest family members (in some cases the parents), scented white powder would be applied to the open palms of the bride or bride groom. At the end of the ceremony as short prayer would be recited. The event concluded with the bride or bride would be given a shower (in private) by a 'pengangun' (literally an elderly chaperoned). For a bridegroom, this would be carried out by a close relative.
