#preMerisik
Sunday, October 08, 2017Not a firm believer of adat and etc but one of the first item to checklist is that I had successfully chosen my cincin merisik yesterday-a day after my birthday.
Merisik in Malay actually means spying (but in this context, it’s not the James Bond type though). It means to learn more of something through informal inquiries such as to further understand the backgrounds of both families, and in this particular case, of the feelings of the intended spouse and her parents. In addition to that, merisik is carried out by the young man’s parents or relatives to informally inquire on the girl’s agreement to the intended marriage and more importantly, to seek the consent of the girl’s parents. Marriage is a serious institution and both families must feel secure, happy and comfortable with the proposed union.

One of our first times entering gold shop accompanied by Mak and Abah. Choosing the right ring can be quite confusing as most of the rings looked the same.
My "cincin merisik". Approved by Abah, Mak and Weatherman.
This whole year has been exciting and yet extremely busy but hahaha I will update more on that in later upcoming posts..
