Alhamdulillah, 2008 marked a new journey to my life. Zul and I officially pronounced as husband and wife on Saturday, 08.11.08 at 10.43am. The solemnization took place at my parent’s house at Bukit Beruntung. I can still recall the atmosphere…the whether was sunny bright, the natural-fragrant of the fresh flowers soothes, simple décor here and there, the canopy setup and the guests; families and friends were there to witness and celebrate the occasion. Everything was simple just as I wanted it to be :) THEME: Purple!I was nervous on the big day, seriously. We planned to begin the akad nikah at 10.30am. Zul’s side arrived at 10.00am! And during that time, my invitees (families and close friends) were still on their way to our house. Even Tuan Kadi was not there. The house was just not ready for the event! Kak Nurul also came a bit late. Hehe well I guess express make over suits express wedding perfectly :P Luckily the makeup turned out so beautiful. Many couldn’t take it when I show them my wedding picture. Credit goes to Kak Nurul!
The ceremony began at 10.30am roughly. Zul and I settled down at our place and Tuan Kadi took it from there. I remember the look on Zul’s face. He was really calm, steady as always. Impressive! He smiled and laughed; and that drove my anxiety away! I asked him later that night; 'you looked so calm pagi td...tak cuak ke?' and he responded 'y should i? i nak u..' cair~ haha..Tuan Kadi also handled the ceremony well. I went to several akad nikahs before. Often, the surrounding was ‘gloomy’, serious and a bit tense especially for the groom. But this Kadi was so cool. The kutbah was interesting, once a while he added in jokes which helped to neutralized the aura in the hall. You could hear people laughing, see people smiling during the session. Aint that beautiful? I was so happy. And tried so hard to put away the sad feeling of ‘leaving’ the family and becoming someone else’s. I avoid looking at mama and baba; a tears-wedding do without!
My close friends were also around during the akad; Fatin arrived the night before and Wengurl came on the day itself. Alin, Sha, Zura, Diyana, Diha, Noran, Apid, Fira and Pina..they came in purple! Missing : Ms Syafina Daniel..hehe Old friends from school were also there. Zul and I were flattered! To Fatin, I owe u big time! Thanks for sleeping over the night before and treated me like a queen during my big day..
The event continued with acara besanding at 2.00pm. We were grateful for having Zul’s peers to join us during the ceremony. They came all the way from Sg Petani! Even his second man in charge in the battalion was there. The sword bearer ceremony attracted many to come and witness the military wedding. I couldn’t describe how I felt but I remember the big fat smile on my face. After bersanding, we headed to the main table. The food was great. It was during this time that I took a moment to peak around; glancing through the crowd, looking for people that I know. To my surprise, many came up..i’m blessed to have great people around me =)
Food was good, we then took off for photography session. Wow, everything passed by so fast I tell you! We were about to settle down; Zul delivered a short speech to the crowd and then there was a familiar voice, requested for “Satu lagu!” Oh my…we didn’t prepare for this! Trained as an army, it is against Zul’s stand to give up to ‘challenge’. So he held my hand and leaded me to the karaoke booth. Haha we picked the song called Seiring Sejalan by Broery & Sharifah Aini. It was fun! And we sang another song at Zul’s reception; Dua Insan. Siyes kene buli ;p
Overall, I personally love the feeling of getting married. I am satisfied with my simple wedding and think it was lively! I have one regret though, being the couple of the day, i was rushed here and there..and i didnt have enough time to spend with my close friends..this I truly regret! I hope they understand tho...
Thank to those who came. I really appreciate your support; in any ways! Thank you..thank you..thank you.. (you know who you are :) )...
