How we end 2011

2011 end very well for us (but for me personally, few things might ended better). WE ARE MARRIED! This post is all about our wedding. From the solemnization night, to our reception.

We chose 11th November 2011, to mark our new chapter in life, and 20 November 2011 to celebrate it with our family, relatives and friends. We did only one reception. Yes, ONE. Simply because; we had the same circle of friend and we can save not only in terms of expenditure (the wedding dress, the invitation card, the photography) but the time as well. Buat saudara mara yang jauh - jauh tu, tak perlu lah nak datang sampai tiga empat kali kan? :)

Shall we start with our solemnization? :)
It was held at night. So, siang tu still ada masa nak setelkan apa - apa yang tak setel lagi. Seriously, banyak gila benda nak buat. furthermore, i'm not working in KL. One minus point. Each time i came back to KL, i had to spend my time for the wedding prep such, checking the venue, dress fitting, shopping for hantaran, etc... anyway, I was the bride and the wedding planner. T.T
Not being cheapo here, but i rather do it on my own. So, I was on leave dari Raya Haji. Kelam kabut! Mana nak raya, nak makan rendang, nak jaga makan lagi (takut baju nikah sendat.hehe). Tapi Alhamdulillah. everything went well sebab saya ada pembantu yang setia bersama. She's my cousin. :D
And saya ada mak, kakak, abg, adik, abg ipar and my husband's family to help. I'm so grateful for it! Nikah was scheduled after isya'. My MUA janji nak datang pukul 6pm tapi sebabkan hari jumaat, as usual, there were heavy traffic all over. by 6.30, Alhamdulillah, my MUA safely arrived. At the time when she puts the veil on me, she was like, "what happen to the veil?". Jeng..jeng..jeng...It was burnt! I wasn't supposed to iron the veil but i did! and.... biasalah, orang tengah nervous, i didn't realize the iron temperature was too high. tiba-tiba je, lubang my veil. teeeet! nasib baik boleh cover. I had to ask my cousin to sew the veil. If not, togel lah kepala malam tu.

Alhamdulillah, dengan sekali lafaz, I became a wife to Syafeeq Abd Rahim. Macam sebak juga but i rarely cry in public. Dalam hati jelah sobsobsob.
3 days after that, i went back to work... Kesian, baru kahwin da berpisah. huhuhu.

Back in KL after 3 days. And we were sooooooooooooooooo busy for the reception. Our reception was held in Taman Tasik Titiwangsa. My dream of having garden wedding akhirnya came true. hehehe.


entrance to the venue

Our plan is, to make everything simple and near to perfection. We are not that rich to make it soooo grand. Cukuplah dapat celebrate it with our love ones. Two families collaborate in making our plan to reality. And the night before, we met our best-man and bride's maid and other friend whom i appoint to assist in giving out the door gift.  We back to the basic. Bagi telur je. Orang dulu dulu percaya, bagi telur as a symbol of fertility. In a way, wishing the bride and the groom will get baby real soon after they get married. But nowadays, people getting more creative. When we attend a wedding, the usual door gift that we could get are like mug, muffin, and macam macam lagi. Me and hubby, penat dah discuss nak bagi apa. At last, we accept his mom's suggestion to give telur rebus

Since it'll be outdoor reception, the arrangement of the table and the ornaments will be done the night before. But....selagi kita menjadi hamba Allah, we'll be continuously tested. Malam tu i had a very bad diarrhea. It made my husband became alone in monitoring the preparation. Luckily, our photographer and videographer came. They were actually surveying the venue for some reason. They then accompany Syafeeq. Allah knows well right?

Next day, after subuh, we went there again. To check up on the preparation but we were bound by our preparation at 11. Alhamdulillah, there were kind soul to help us in make certain that everything is done accordingly. And Alhamdulillah again, the majlis went smoothly...


instead of kompang, we hired a band from VI



Many thanks to my mom, my sister & family, my two brother, my grandma, aan, my in-laws family, my STAR (makk,zati,lynn), husmi, munh,shakila and all families who help us... We do really appreciate it. Doakan we could have kids in near future. :)

And now we are happily married. :)
