Native Kadazan Lorraine Tokuzip, 35, and her Bisaya husband Asmerol Alias, 35, also held their second reception on Chinese New Year, to celebrate not only their matrimony but to also usher in the Lunar New Year as well. Upkeeping tradition: Asmerol and Lorraine in their semi-modern Chinese wedding attires for the Lunar New Year. She donned a semi-traditional red Chinese wedding dress while her engineer husband, who is a Muslim, also put on matching clothes. This is a meaningful part of the traditional Chinese wedding as it symbolises the union of two families and respect for their elders. “That’s why for our Sandakan reception, we wore Kadazan and Bisaya attires and did the Sumazau dance (a must for native Kadazan weddings) among other practices,” Lorraine said.
