Bridesmaid or Sisters from other ethnic groups

[Phiphi]

Does anyone know if your bridesmaid/sister must be a Chinese?

I have a good friend who is a malay and I want her to be my bridesmaid. Anyone here has done it before? Mine should be quite a traditional chinese customary wedding with tea ceremony etc..

Appreciate all comments! Thanks.

bridesmaid/sister does not need to be chinese la. just that when you come to food you might have some issue. But then some malay they very easy one as long as they dun eat pork they ok ... some cannot must die die hala one...

so will depends on your friend la. and if you really want her to be involved then you must think of a way to "feed" her during the day other then that I dun see any issue.

oh oh oh just to add in normally people are more concern that if the bridesmaid/sister has to be single or not la.

and hor if you guys going temple or church for your wedding hor your friend willing to follow or not some will not some ok .
