about conversion, well, every time I sit through a mass, and when the Catholic priest reminds the flock about the legality of both being catholics and not ... I smile
and once, the said priest admittd times are changing and all are welcome, converted or not .... and wamly once asked what's the plan for baptism of the small one (whose parents aren't legally married in the eyes of the Catholic church

and I casually once said to him, I'd rather join the Anglican church who aren't so strict , as married men / women there can be doing services.... he could only smile ....

Hey squirrel, that's never been a problem with the catholic church. My wife is an OTT Catholic who married a pagan (ROM obviously) who had been married 2x before. Both of my kids were baptized as RCs.

I can list a few RC churches here who will explicitly refuse to baptize unless you produce the confirmation of both parents and God parents ...sundaymorningstaple wrote:Hey squirrel, that's never been a problem with the catholic church.

Malaysian refers to nationality of country Malaysia, not ethnicity of the Malays.

---------------------------------------
Ma·lay [mey-ley, muh-ley]
1. of, pertaining to, or characteristic of a racially intermixed, generally short-statured people who are the dominant population of the Malay Peninsula and adjacent islands.
2. of or pertaining to the language or culture of these people. noun
3. a member of the Malay people.
4. an Austronesian language of Malaysia and Singapore, differing from Indonesian only in orthography.

Ma·lay·sian [muh-ley-zhuhn, -shuhn]
1. a native or inhabitant of Malaysia.
2. Malay (adjective)
3. of, pertaining to, or characteristic of Malaysia or its inhabitants.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Malaysian?s=t
---------------------------------------
So a Malay is a generally 'short-statured' (hehehe) person of the Malay peninsular (and islands).
But a Malay is also a native or inhabitant, of what ever ethnicity, of Malaysia.
Therefore is a wedding between non-Malay Malaysians still a Malay wedding?
Based on what you posted, my statement still stands, except for note 2 and 3 for Malaysian.
