Alhamdulilah, it's been 2 months of marriage and although everything isn't rainbows and butterflies, I'm so thankful. It's been a while I've been wanting to update about my wedding but thanks to my never ending procrastination, I managed it only now. Gonna be an extra long post so get ready.
Throwback, 2 May 2015.
I couldn't sleep a wink the day before. I finally only fell asleep 2 hours before my alarm rang which was at 6 in the morning.
Woke up and didn't have time to eat breakfast cause I was feeling too much anxiety. Looking at all the Hantaran presents on the bed (I slept on the floor) reminded me of how real it was.
Around 7am the Mak Andam came, and we begin to put on the make up.
(I've never worn make up so thick, it freaked me out a little bit.)
Soon my bridesmaids came one by one and I got less nervous with more company. It began to rain outside, and my photographer couldn't come early to capture me getting ready as he was stuck with his bike somewhere. Nevertheless, he made it in time for my nikah, Alhamdulilah.
Around 9.30am, the rombongan from the guys' side came and my house got so cramped, I got more nervous. My sister arrived and stayed with me in the room, while my mother was stuck in the kitchen cause she couldn't walk through the crowd. Feeling the pit in my stomach, I wondered how the man was doing and people were telling me he looked pretty nervous. He'll get it done anyway.
Seeing the Kadi arriving reminded me once again how surreal it felt that we're only minutes away from being husband and wife.
I couldn't describe the moment my man held the Kadi's hand and made the lafaz. A mixture of relief and thick emotion overwhelmed me but I managed to tone it down and not tear badly. I didn't notice I was shaking till my sister told me to calm down and take a breath. Alhamdulilah was the only thing in my mind. I'm a wife.
Then things got pretty funny when the man entered my room to put on my mas kahwin on my wrist. With his 2 bestman's non stop comment about his shaky hand, they made the environment relaxing again.
Took a couple of shots with our nikah baju and then I headed to change into my second wear. This took a pretty long time, and I apologise to those who waited really long for it. Nevertheless, more shots were taken and I got more emotional as the shoot with my parents approached. Looking at my mum, and knowing how different things are now that I'm a wife, made me well up. I always knew I'll leave some day and when that day came, it broke me. A mother who's my father, sister, best friend, motivator, advisor and everything else. Thank you for everything, I might not be even half of you as a parent but in sha Allah I'll try my best.
Putting emotions aside, we left my side and headed for the man's.
It was crazy there. The amount of people expecting us was a first. I never grew up in such a crowded environment, I felt kind of awkward. But having my husband by my side, and reminding myself that this is my new family made things a little better. Or not.
I didn't know if people staring at you too much was good but that was how it felt the whole day. The only thought I had in mind was- I need a drink.
Took quite some time taking photos with the guests and delayed our meal time. Further more, our best men and bridesmaid were nowhere near taking our food for us. Thank to Abang Mamat, we got our food and settled down to eat. Alhamdulilah. The food? Amazing.
Afterwhich we walked down the buffet area and take even more photos. And it was finally time to change to our last wear.
I didn't know how long it took, but it made others unhappy. Not wanting to dwell on that, we went down and had our cutting cake ceremony and then waited for people to take even more photos. At that point of time, I was really tired my attitude face came out. Sorry not sorry.
By 5, we headed off to Woodlands Waterfront for our outdoor shoot.
Thankfully, this made me feel a little better. He has funny friends.
That wrapped up the whole day. Alhamdulilah.
Surreal how I'm a wife now. Amin.
