anep+anum

zul+shak

(...err it was sooo difficult to take photos while walking, trying not to block other guests'!)

i didn't realised how rush it'll be if it's a sunday wedding. last time during alia+shahrul's reception i was err...unemployed! we stayed till past midnight and i wasn't even complaining.

but this time, we had to leave early. tak sempat bergambar with the newlywed couple pun :((

...and haih, i'm having a sunday wedding too!

of february love (Part I)

Ya Allah, banyaknya wedding invitations for this month!

not that i am complaining BUT february seems to be the favourite month to get hitched! -valentines whaaaaaaat? we're celebrating our anniversary lah !

smart move, people!*wink*

speaking of wedding invitations, jade and i attended 2 home weddings and they were lovely! i always love love love casual wedding reception. formal ones are never my favourite in the first place! rasa macam...too restricted!

firstly, at home everyone is invited. your children can tag along to meriahkan the majlis. like babyA, he's the favourite flavour for all the events. semua sibukkkk nak gomol die :P too cute too resist lah!

at home, you have the whole time in the world to actually wait for the newlywed couple and snap photos+(minimal) catch up. not soooo much of a rush compared to seating dinner at the dewan.

tasha + rafiq

can even curi-curi cute candid shot of the newlywed since there's not much of heads crowd blocking your view.

myra+pojan

andddddd can camwhore with your friends too ;)) **ohkay this can be done dekat dewan jugak! anywhere, anytime. ngeeehhhhhh.**

or tanpa segan silu, can have a bite of their wedding cake/ pulut kuning! nobody knows it's youuuuuu.... ahahaha.

yay for home wedding? :))

...tapiiiiiii, satu je cannot tahan when go to home reception! the HEAT!!!!

hello malaysia. hello global warming *melted makeup*

the things that we need

ieverybody seems to be getting married nowadays. if not, how come got too many invitations one? 25 seems to be the just-right age to get married! *wink*

unfortunately i had to ditched 2 invitations on saturday as i was too busy, being the cinderella of the house, scrubbing the floor of our lanai four times. i repeat: FOUR BLOODY TIMES. i swear the tikus/burung that kept on poop-ing on that floor will have sembelit for the coming one month. ggrrrrrrrrrr.

but i was determined to get to bie's wedding the very next day! mesti ohkay. the reception was held at dewan komuniti taman tun dr. ismail. very simple and yet very meriah indeed!

anyhooooo, it is soooo obvious that we are aging because... we see relationship in a more matured perspective now. it's not all about "love at first sight" with the lupdup oh-my-heart-skips-a-beat whenever i'm near you. it's not just about having fun being around him.

what's a husband-material guy?
probably someone that is stable- financially, emotionally, spiritually; and can actually be the man of the house. the leader of the family. someone that can be a good companion throughout life; be it good times bad times. someone that might not be a perfect person but he completes you. most importantly, you and him must have the same thinking of where this relationship will brings you to. there's no point of being with a person yang marriage never crosses his mind at all. no?

ok rasa seperti orang tua matang. berfikiran jauh. cehcehceh.

"late" is my middle name

so nooooooot, ohkay!!! *pout*

it's just that, due to mr.bofwen's demanding workloadshits, we came to afif&mar's wedding late. i mean super duper late. unforgivenly late.

yesss, they were already cleaning the hall. pengantins getting ready for the outdoor photoshoot- which explained the i-am-the-bride-with-the-handbag-on-my-hand photo.

bak kate mar, pengantin dah tutup kedai dah!!!*giggle*

anyway, their wedding reception was held at wisma pkps, shah alam. initially mama and abah were all set to have mine there as well, just like along. but ahmagaaaaad, their wedding package dah naik harga now!!!! it is rm60,000 all inclusive. *fainted*

with that price, i might as well just have my reception in a hotel. reason being, they can only cater for 600pax for served or 1500 for buffet. even concorde shah alam will cost me rm830 per table. cheaper, no?

so forget it lah, kuzie catering!!! *waved goodbye, not turning back*

but finding THE PLACE ain't that easy tau!*headache* i nak ni, parentals nak tu.

requirement no#uno: must be in shah alam.
i'm okay having it done dekat rumah, honestly. but got no support from the familia :(( messy, so they said.

requirement no#2: must have aircond; quote mama. that's why outdoor garden wedding was rejected as well! and abah added, got nyamuk nanti tak comfortable.

+__+ "
riiiiiteeeeeee, nyamuk ek. *slaps forehead*

after much consideration and discussion with the parentals+mr.bofwen, we decided that there's no point spending that much for the venue. a decent airconditioned hall with tables and chairs would be sufficient enough. that gives us the flexibility to use our own favourite caterer. *thumbs up* yummy food is essential tau! and i can spend more+ have the freedom to hire my own wedding planner for the decor, to suits my taste and preference. and budgettttt!

alhamdulillah reception venue secured.*deposit paid!*

quick shortie update

was stressed out over a lot of things that has happened for the past few days- not just beause i've turned 25 ohkay.

before i share my quarter-of-century old post with you lot, i would like to take this chance to congratulate *drum rolls*....

#mrM&mrsZ on the new addition to their family; babyAdam. he is sooo adorable *loveeee* semoga menjadi anak yang soleh insyallah.

#mr&mrsF; the newlywed. the wedding was sooo meriah which was held at kelab shah alam with the theme "arabian night".
**location wise, it'll be very convenient for MOI if i were to have my reception there but unfortunately i had to crossed it out as, personally, i thought a)the place is a bit small and cramped, b)food was just so-so. **


getting maried... having children of my own....
both i have yet to achieve in life!

for alia. to alia. with lots of love!

i had a rather busy weekend- 3 days straight of wedding receptions! mine you, not that a lot of my friends got married during the weekend. just one, ohkay! but it's the special one; whom i have known for the past 15 years. we watched each other grow up- close or far apart- we still made a point to keep in touch.

alia and shahrul's wedding, being the first friend's wedding i ever been to in my whole life, was beautiful. and well organised! i utterly loveeeee the fresh flower concept used by nas great idea *thumbs up*

i'm glad my first wedding attended was a FUN oneeeee because initially i was quite worried that i'll be stucked there alone- mr.bofwen is still not back from umrah. but it ended up to be just like a school reunion, i tell you.

.....i get to see more of the bestie :))

....or people i met during last (or one of the) summer(s). (or someone that i normally stalked in fb but never ter"bump" into!)

....or even better, someone i haven't seen for the past 9 years!!!!

....meeting someone new? by the end of the day we are no longer strangers to one another*wink*

the best thing is that you acted as if nothing has changes ever since! potpetpotpet about the wedding itself; how pretty the dias was, how extra gorgeous the bride became thanks to the magical touch of the make-up artist, sue cantik. (sooo very the pretty one! highly recommended!); how cantik the wedding outfits were- rizalman's work!

andddd drooling over the hantaran (gifts) given by the groom. ahhhhh chanel, when will you be mine? *cough*hint baek punya for you, mr.bofwen*cough*

oh of course, camwhoring is a must too*turns to the camera, pose and smile*

to alia and shahrul,

i'm extremely honoured to be here, on all 3 receptions, to witness and be part of your special day. although i had a bit of headache trying to find outfits to wear :S 3 nights dek oiiiii!!!! hihihi.

anyway congratulations on your marriage! although alia, you did mention before that you'll only get married after me...itsokay! you are forgiven :P

having seen you grown up for the past 15 years, with all the secret crush, heartbreaks stories that we've shared... i am happy that you have finally found your prince charming.

i wished you an everlasting married life.

saying, "yes i do"

i had an intimate, private and small get together lunch to celebrate our second newly wed couple. (incase you've forgotten about our first couple who had their receptions in malaysia just recently.)

and most of the time throughout the lunch, i was like, "awwwww she is the luckiest girl in the entire world!"

one of the best things to have in life is definitely to have your guy to love you, whole-hearted, simply because of you. to be able to love you that much, he has to accept all the flaws you have. instead of making a big fuss of it and wanting you to change it, he'll accept it because there is nothing to be ashamed of.

having a guy falling all over you is not being measured with how romantic he can be, how big the diamond ring on your finger(s), the unlimited-funding on the credit card etc.

...because love has its own way to make it well-known and being noted by others. you can see it when it's there. definitely can't miss it!

CONGRATULATIONS again, mr&mrs!!!!

what i wore today:-

black jumpsuit; new look + blue cardigan; mango + belt; accessorize + gladiator sandal; aldo + blue clutch; asos

just married

probably there's a point in your life that you realised those people that matters, those that never did, those who won't matters anymore and those who always will.... come whatever, nothing can change that.

maybe that's why people decided to get married in the end, realising that they could not live without each other.they feel complete with one another.

but then, when should kawin meh?
some people i've spoken to preferred to get married once they are financially stable (most of the guyfriends la!) so that they can afford to sara the other half. but some young couples do get married time belajar; which i find it amazing on how they can juggle between their marriage and studies. and some even got kids somemoreeeee~walaowei! *respecto*

so here's our first ever couple to get married time belajar - definitely the first for the past 5 years i've been here!

to aini&lutfi, congratulations again! hope you two lovebirds enjoyed the post-wedding dinner at tuk din with 14 of us. lagi ramai lagi meriah, no? err hopefully we weren't much of disturbance lah. maklumlah tgh nak berhoneymoon-mode lagi. ngeeeeeeh! *wink*

*a long table of good companions to share the bundle of joy together**a plate of comfort food**wedding toast malaysian style - teh tarik satu!*

lastly, may your love be modern enough to survive the times and old fashion enough to last forever. semoga berbahagia ke anak cucu lah!

...with love from all of us!
so, who's next?
