Malay Marriages and Weddings

Now I will do the weddings of the early Malay doctors, their grandparents, parents, children, relatives, peers and friends. The photos were sent to me over many years. Some related stories, some also wrote stories, anecdotes, etc. You can still send your wedding photos and I can upload them here in this blog. If you are sending photos or video links, please provide some details (state your name, whose wedding, date of wedding, wedding venue, etc). In the meantime, take a look at this wedding video taken at the E&O. YouTube wedding video: Wedding of CJ & Steph, Garden Wedding at E&O

TIMELINE

I will need to search for at least 43 wedding photos... need to arrange first...will take some time, as I now have editing to do for about 1 month.

HOW TO CREATE WEDDING PHOTOS WITH PHOTO EFFECTS

Most are composite photos as wedding photos are not available for many of the doctors. I worked in PowerPoint, where I combined 2 photos and used overlay and repeat techniques. I used 2 programs to add the photo effects - MyScrapNook (for frames when necessary), and Pixlr-o-matic (for the film reel effect). I don't have Adobe Photoshop and Aldus Freehand.

WHAT IS KNOWN ABOUT THE EARLY MALAY DOCTORS

Most biographies have no date(s) of marriage(s) stated. They can be approximated from the DOB of the first child. Some of the names of the wives were unknown and only call names were known.
