Our study is mainly on Malay, Chinese and Indian only as it represents the largest ethnic groups in Malaysia. Our main interest is on the wedding ceremony and customs on all the three main races in Malaysia. Besides, we also discussed a little on Orang Asli, Ethnic Sabah and Ethnic Sarawak wedding ceremony.
