PETALING JAYA (July 31, 2011): The first publicised marriage between two women made headline news in Chinese dailies today.

The couple from Batu Pahat, identified only as Thomas, 29, and Apple, 27, received the blessings of relatives and friends in a full Chinese traditional marriage ceremony on Saturday.

Thomas, in white suit, and Apple, in a white bridal gown exchanged vows in front of their parents and friends before the tea ceremony.

The couple shed tears of joy as they received ang pows, jewellery and most of all well-wishes from their parents.

Earlier, the “groom” and her entourage had to overcome the usual sisters’ barrier at the bride’s house before “he” was allowed to take the bride home.

Contacted by Oriental Daily News, Apple said the decision to spend the rest of her life with Thomas was made after a two-year courtship.

She said they had no problem getting their parents’ consent, whom she described as “being very understanding”.
