In the post, LA Thoma, who is part Kadazan, talked about how they underwent the traditional Kadazan wedding ceremony called Miohon Pinisi:
It was such a gift to be able to celebrate and connect to my mothers cultural heritage that welcomed Grant with open arms.
Let’s not forget, Thoma’s family that were participating witnesses to the lovely event of cultures coming together:
For those of you who are unaware, Miohon Pinisi is a traditional Kadazan wedding ceremony involving both couples stepping on a stone that’s been blessed by a traditional shaman. As well as exchanging rice and wine whilst reciting their vows.
