Baba Nyonya Heritage: Peranakan Weddings from a Malaccan Perspective 
--- 
Charles KK Chua


The author is a native Malaccan and sixth-generation Peranakan Baba, whose love for his culture dates back to his childhood, as a member of the original family who built and dwelled in this house. He isalso gifted with artistic ability and a great eye for detail. He himself repairs, recreates, and re-interprets the pieces under his care, preserving the beauty and spirit of the family's collection, sometimes adapting and updating them as beautiful objets d'art. During the course of his life, he observed, learned and participated in every aspect of traditional Baba Nyonya weddings - from the matchmaker's arrival, to exchanges between the families, to the actual wedding, which comprises many small and intimate ceremonies of its own.
