wedding part 1 ; akad nikah

Long awaited post huh? HAHAHA. Four months passed and here comes the post. You can kill me if you want, for my lack of effort to come out earlier. In your imagination of course HAHA. I'll make this story shorter than it should be. You remember how your teacher asked you to just include important points in your essay? Yes, that's how this post will be.

Our akad nikah was on 29th May 2013. Most people will tie the knot on Friday, and of course at their house. It was different case for us. For some reasons, we chose just to do the ceremony at Muis office, KK. I just found out they actually prepared a special room for that kind of ceremony. With mini pelamin and flowers hehe. Easier for both families to come. And because of that, we had to choose working day because we don't pay overtime allowance for the officers to ask them to work on off day HAHAHA. I knew some of my relatives and close friends cannot attend it because they were still working on that day. But I am okay with it. Akad nikah for me is something special for just the family. As long as it goes well, then that's it.

Since the ceremony will be at nikah room in the office, I decided to wear something simple with some points here and there. My baju kurung was from Ratu, designed by Ezuwan Ismail for FashionValet. And my scarf was from Tudung People. It was hard for me to find matching scarf at first. I even went to KL to find a nice one (or I was just finding an excuse to go there hehe). I can't find any, then online shopping saved my life. A day before the real day, I spent hours in front of the mirror trying out which way the scarf will looks good wtf. Thank god that I don't have hijab-bad-day that day. And to make sure my scarf was good until the ceremony ended, I sat straight (and nap too) in the car all the way to KK HAHAHA.

The akad nikah went very smooth. Alhamdulillah. And also, my scarf been good all the time hehe.

(insert emotional song here) 

It was a little bit awkward moment for both of us. We've been together for so long. Looking at each other eyes is not a problem anymore. On that day, everything seemed different. For me, at least. I couldn't look at him straight on the eyes before the akad nikah started. I couldn't smile at him even once. I was very nervous to see him. Not that I was afraid he will run away and refuse to marry me HAHA, but all I can say, it was all different feels for me. 

Only after the lafaz was done (once only and I felt like patting his back saying Good Job HAHAHA), I can looked at him and smiled. But another thing came, I couldn't look at my mum, afraid that I might cry hehe. A good tears of course. To hide all those strange feelings, I smiled and laughed for everything like stupidos there. I really meant EVERYTHING! HAHAHA.

It didn't take too long to settle down everything. Not even an hour I guess. It was very very smooth, I thanked Allah for making it soooo easy for us.  

I whatsapp-ed my best friends this pic with a caption "off the market in sekali lafaz" to annoy them HAHAHA. Actually, no. They are all happy for me, I knew it. But they couldn't come since it was working day. There was my eheemm may I now pronounce it officially, my husband, back there had a phone call with I-don't-know-who. And me, at another table, sat with this best friend (pic below) gossiping HAHAHA.

Not really gossiping or what, we were busy replying our bff-who-couldn't-attend whatsapp messages hehe.

That was part 1 :)

tick tock to the big day

Think back, it is so not me to be apart of blog, twitter, instagram, etc. Well, that happened. The so-not-me is becoming ME wtf. Seriously, me myself can't understand why I tweet less and don't have anything to post in instagram.One that I know, I kept telling myself not to talk about the engagement or wedding before the time comes. So, that was why I don't tweet and posting pics. Okay, that makes some sense hehe.

Since the engagement day is over and the wedding will happens in a few days, so it's okay to talk about it now. Plus, this AyuCandy asked me to blog about it HAHA I thought no one want to know. So yeah. Here we go.

Frankly, Dedek and I actually planned this last year I think, maybe November or December, I forgot. But then, we wanted to keep it until we both are very sure to proceed or not hehe. Then, we both were agreed to tell the families. Dedek told his family in an easy way I guess. And mine was too hard HAHAHA. I always have this problem when it comes to talk about something serious like this with the family. I always feel lost and don't know how to start. I took few weeks to think before I made a call to my mum HAHA.

Me : Ma, hehehehehe. I'm getting married this June. The engagement is on March. Hehehehehe.
Mum : Ehh? No wind no storm want to get married?
Me : HAHAHAHAHA

I even asked mum to keep it as secret until everything is okay. Then the pressure begun T__T

Malay engagement or wedding have this tradition of giving barang hantaran to each other. I don't know where to start, so I told myself to buy anything pretty and affordable that I want and put them in the dulang. I don't need hundred dulang. 5 from him and 7 from me are fine.

This one was hard. To choose between Steve Madden or Aldo. Both are super gorgeous and I can only put a pair *sigh. Finally, I chose Steve Madden.

Not a fan of yellow gold. Visiting goldsmith also awkward moment wtf. Dedek even suggested me to go by myself because it will be very awkward for both of us choosing the ring together AHAHA. In the end, I chose the simplest one.

Stuff are all ready. Decorating problem chime in. I know I am not a creative person to turn a makeup stuff to a miniature twin towers, or turning a pair of heels to a miniature boat wtf. Bought pretty baskets, pastel flowers, beads, tadaaa~ problem solved!

Mine was pink. Purple for Dedek.

And the day came. Since the first day I agreed to engaged, I said I don't want pelamin. Everything should be simple. Old school please, no pelamin and the engagement is still on. In the end, my mum won wtf. She said I am the only daughter and this is her first and last experience. Okay, fine. Pelamin is fine. When I woke up the next morning;

OMGHIJKLMNOPQ!

Striking green, striking yellow, breath Vujie, breath deeply. Everything will be fine. That was what I told myself.

To keep everything simple, the natural makeup was done by myself. Well actually, it is the makeup I apply on my face to school HAHA. Nothing special on that. And I wore the Jewel peplum from Jovian Mandagie, last Aidiladha collection. It is pretty so it is okay to wear on my engagement day. Hair color done by Amy from number76. I purposely went to KL to get new hair color because Number76 salon is the only salon that gives my hair less damage from coloring. They are the best!

And this man. I agreed to give him a big responsibility to accomplish a taking-care-of-Vujie's-life mission wtf.

The mission begins.

Dedek and I, and also both families agreed, this engagement is only lasted for about 2-3 months. The wedding will be in May or June. This is actually what I always had in my mind. I don't want a very long engagement period. Engagement for me is something tough. I heard stories that during engagement, anything can happen. Pressure is double. And I think I am not tough enough to keep that as one of my major problem in life HAHAHA.

And they are all right. You think engagement is nice huh? Refer picture above. The first fight.

HAHAHAHA. No lah, it's not. We were just talking about something but I don't know why my face looks like I'm gonna slap him in any minute wtf. And actually, we are doing very good during this engagement period. Thanks to the short engagement period hehe. 

The wedding will be on 31 May and 1 June 2013. Maigawd it is next week! You, who are reading this, are invited to the wedding ^^, and share the happiness together with us hehe. As this post is near to the end, I can't guarantee when will I update on the wedding. I apologize in advance hehehe.

taken. but, not really.

Reaaaallllyyy want to blog something that makes me reaaallllyyyy excited these days hehe.


But I might spurt out something that I shouldn't talk about it yet hehe.


So, I better not say anything yet.


But I promise I will.
