Brides and grooms didn’t let their happily ever after get in the way of their civic duty this general election.
Many brides and grooms around Malaysia have their wedding day planned for today, 19 November, which coincides with GE15.
However, despite being dressed to the nines in their wedding gowns and suits, it didn’t stop them from taking time out of their wedding day to vote.
