Dial A for Aunties Part 2, Chapters 18-25 Summary & Analysis

Part 2, Chapter 18 Summary

Duty calls. Meddy photographs Jacqueline’s veiling ceremony—in which her parents put on her veil and give away the bride—and the acara penjemputan ceremony, in which the groom’s party pays a symbolic “visit” to the bride’s home (here, her hotel room) and undergoes several trials from the bridal party as part of the wedding festivities. However, the groom’s party is late, due to hangover chaos; when Meddy asks her family for an update, all she gets are strings of incomprehensible emojis.

The groom’s party finally arrives for penjemputan. Their first trial is wearing women’s lingerie; Maureen then discovers one of the groomsmen is missing because he can’t find his clothes. As the groomsmen move on to the second trial, Meddy helps Maureen and Jacqueline find a solution for the missing groomsman. The penjemputan ceremony ends smoothly, and the wedding officially begins.

Part 2, Chapter 19 Summary

The tea ceremony is next, in which the wedding couple serve tea to their elders and are given gifts in return. Seb and Meddy photograph the event as the relatives compete to outdo each other with increasingly elaborate and expensive gifts. Afterward, Seb goes to lunch, and Meddy helps Maureen carry the gifts back to the bridal suite.
