Most of the masters of matrimony are women, and are known as sang1kae1mm4 送嫁媽. Although rare, occasionally men also fulfill the role, in which case they are known as sang1kae1kong1 送嫁公.

Technically the duty of the sang1kae1mm4 and sang1kae1kong1 is limited to the wedding ceremonies. They are expected to be well-versed in the various customs, do's and dont's, and to ensure that the various ceremonies are conducted correctly and smoothly. Weddings of Taoist couples have the most elaborate customs. Nevertheless, oftentime Christian couples may also hire the services of the masters of matrimonies to conduct the 會面 Hoay33 Bin33 , or Tea Ceremony. The term "hoay33bin33" actually just mean "to meet up face to face, for any purpose". The actual ceremony is called 捀茶 Phang3 Teh2 , literally, "serving tea".

In the old days the wedding masters were also involved in matchmaking, and as such as these female wedding experts are known as 媒人婆 hm3lang3 poh2 , who is more common and numerous than their male counterpart, the 媒人公 hm3lang3 kong1 . When the role is reduced to only the wedding ceremonies, the positions become known as Sang1 Kae1 Kong1 and Sang1 Kae1 Mm4. These are the masters of ceremonies of the wedding, though nowadays, it is more often that the bridal couple simply hires a band to play for them, or even install a karaoke machine.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
