Then the occasions are followed by the 'Majlis Berinai' - Berinai Ceremony. The Groom left the residence of the bride to change to a different set of costumes.

When the groom comes back this time he will be received by a 'Kompang Group'. The bride with the same colour of costumes invited the groom, and they are escorted to a beautifully decorated bridal stage called 'pelamin' in Malay.

Here they are seated side by side, this is called 'bersanding' in Malay and the families, led by the elders take turn to perform the berinai.

The 'berinai or menepung-tawar' is being performed by an auntie "Mak Long Maimon".

The ceremony ends at about 11.00 pm and it will be continued the next day for the 'Hari Langsung'- Final Day.
