♥ Once in a Lifetime: My Royal Gold Moment ♥

In my previous post I already told you about the akad ceremony. While akad was held in the morning, the reception was held in the afternoon. I was waaay more relax since, like my mom said, "the principal part of the wedding is the akad. Reception is just party after all". I am a bit tired since I didn't get enough sleep the night before (I'll told about it in next post) and still worried about petty little things ( I know I shouldn't actually), but most of all, I was happy! I held my brand new hubby's hand  as often as possible and we stared each other like we didn't believe we are finally a husband and wife :') ( I knooowww.... it's silly :p)

My wedding itself using three big color theme which were gold, ivory and deep brown. When akad mostly used the ivory, the party was more to gold. My friend Dila said it was eclectic since I also mixed three big theme here; Javanese, Arabic and Modern-Islamic. I don't know, I just love mixing things :D

I luuurve the decor! Maroccan style. Beyond expectation :)

I was worried that I would falling so I rarely smile during the kirab (blame the 9 cm heels!)

I asked mas Hendy (the main photographer) to take many detail pics :) *inspired by lovely Alodita*

very happy seeing the guests :)

Alhamdulillah everything about wedding ceremony was OVER! Haha... I am totally relieved! Not that I was not enjoying the process nor the preparation...but thinking about all the sweat and blood... it was too small if I say I am happy I just have one reception... Maybe things would be different if I was using wedding organizer then...(note to self: if anyone asked about it, tell them use WO for D-day! Especially if they are super-drama-paying-to-details-perfectionist like me. Or they will just died. Like me. Okay, skip that)

So, like I have said before...the real party is on the way! Maybe you'll see a lot of newlywed thingy in the future hahah... Please don't get bored with it since I am not! *what a egoistic author :p* So I guess, I'll see you later? Live your life people, and have a blast! :D

♥ My Humble Akad Nikah Ceremony ♥

Assalamualaikum Wr Wb...

After spending HOURS picking (and a bit of editing), finally I am proudly say that I will post my wedding photos here!! *enthusiast clap*

My wedding, maybe wasn't my dream wedding at first. But as time went by, I started grew a strong feeling for it; its like my baby that I was taking care of until giving birth. And alhamdulillah the process of giving birth was running smoothly :)

I got married on Mother's Day, December 22th 2012. Me and my family was worried about the weather, since December is one of the biggest rain month. I was thinking will I get a sunny day like in June but I know that I shouldn't hoping too much. So we only pray, pray, and pray to God, to give us the best. The whole family, especially the grandmas, hummed Al Kautsar tons a day until the wedding day.


And you know? It was really a sunny day.

A big one :)))

After akad, the photographers team manage us to have photoshoot in mosque's park(ing area). I was so nerveous since it was the first time for me and hubby taking pictures like that (we didn't do any prewedding photoshoot before). We're a bit clumsy but we smiled a lot. So happy finally we're a legal spouse! :D

Alhamdulillah :)

There aren't perfection in this world, and so was my wedding. But despite everything it would be overrated if I forced my ego and complained; I got too much blessings that day. The biggest one was the weather of course, which really helps our guests came to the venue. The second was my friends and other guests, even who lived far away, but still managed to come. And another million blessings to prove that I had no reason to regret anything. Thanks God, thank you for the blessing. Thank you to make my dream become real.

So, are you satisfied now? What? Photos from reception? Ah, I am worry that you should wait, at least until tomorrow :p

I'll see you soon! x

What a 'What??' Wedding Gift

So guys, married almost two months doesn't make you free from wedding stuff ya bok...*sayup-sayup kedengaran "MANA POSTINGAN KAWINNYA, WOY!* *abaikan* nah berhubung foto-foto kewong masih males gue editin dalam proses pengeditan, nah sekarang gue mau cerita-cerita 17 tahun ke atas lucu seputar serba serbi kewong kemarin.

Nah yaa..yang namanya kawinan kan gak lengkap ya bo tanpa wedding gift. Yah bukannya ngarep, serius nggak, yang penting tamu-tamu hadir aja dan doanya yang penting... tp ya kalo dikasih mah kita bersyukur *iyalah masak dapet rejeki gak bersyukur* And I have to say thank you for all the wedding gifts dan amplopns, seriously you don't have to do that, but thank you! Wedding gift ini jadi penolong banget terutama karena seminggu abis nikah gue langsung diboyong cuami pindah ke kota lain. Yaelah dalam seminggu itu bisa apa sih bok, boro-boro mikir perabotan buat di sana, baju-baju gaul aja belum kelar dipak! Jadii...hari-hari awal pindahan kita emang gantungin banget ama wedding gift ini yang udah dengan baik hati dipak si mamah dalam kardus besar sesuai jenisnya... Kompor gas, magic jar, frying pan, dishware, bedcover, you name it lah, semuanya hasil sumbangan karena si cuami estri baru ini belum sempat belanji-belanji hihi... And kepake semua! Jadi thanks again, Insya Allah barangnya manfaat semua dan jadi amal :')

Tapi yah... sungguh tidak semua kado membuat kami langsung tersenyum atau mbrebes mili terharu. Ada juga yang bikin kami mengucap istighfar! Istighfarnya sekali doang tapi, terus dilanjutin alhamdulillah banyak-banyak haha #lho Kado apakah itu? Ya tau sendirilah... Gak tau? Yaudah kawin dulu tar tau sendiri... #pelit

Oya... selain jenis kado di atas ada juga lohh jenis kado yang mengharu biru... Ini nih salah satu penampakannya...

Jadi ini teh kado dari temennya cuami di Kopma Dr Angka. Note-nya sungguh menyentuh... membuat saya berpikir... INI ASLI BIKIN APA KOPAS YAK? *mohon konfirmasi*

Habis terharu baca note di atas *eh sumpah beneran bagus :')* kamipun beralih ke box yang berisi kado dari sang empunya note. Dan kadonya adalah...#jrengjreng

Ampun yak. Gak kebayang habis baca note begitu ternyata kadonya beginian! Yang merah itu buat saya..*make me feel like a bitch..*  Nah yang satunya buat cuami... Katanya sih patung Gatotkaca...Tapi bukankah jamu kuat itu KukuBima??#apadeh

Sungguh saya hanya mampu istighfar dengan wajah bersemu merah ckck... Tapiii ternyata kadonya tak hanya itu sodara-sodara! Ada lagi!

Tau kan yang mana buat saya mana yang buat suami? #ngelusdada #yangdatar #ehhhh

kalau belum ngeh juga...ini yang buat saya...*istighfar*

*istighfar lagi* *personal message for cuami* *mengamini* #lah

Saya sih cuma bisa berdoa 'Ya Allah maafkanlah kelakuan hamba-hambaMu ini... Sesungguhnya mereka tiada maksud lain selain menyenangkan hati pengantin baru becanda' hehe... Sungguh kelakuan anak jaman sekarang yaa...ckckck... Semoga dosa kalian diampuni naakkk...

Habis kado edan-edanan ini masih ada lagi kado selanjutnya... Untungnya kado selanjutnya normal...alhamdulillahhh *sembah syukur* *segera menyembunyikan kado 'ajaib' dari penglihatan ortu, mertua dan sodara-sodara* Asli niat banget anak-anak Kopma yak pada beli buah-buahan di mana tuh? Dicopot pisang ama durennya doang lagi... *mikir mungkin kawin berikutnya ada yang dikado nanas sama manggis (?)*

Yah gitu lah bok salah satu serba-serbi nikahan. Sebenernya banyak banget yang undercover nih, tapi harus tetep kena sensoran juga. Iyalah sekarang aib suami aib gue juga. Kalo cuma aib gue mah, gue sebar-sebar aja... #ngawur
Sekarang berdoa aja supaya gak males-males buat ngedit foto dari fotografer ya... Setelah proses panjang yang berdarah-darah milihin foto *22 GB bok* sekarang saatnya diedit... Aslinya sih udah ciamik, cuma kalau diperhatikan kan foto-foto eke di blog tone-nya selau blue-ish jadi biar tetep mecing yaudin harus pake personal editing juga deh... Mudahan malesnya gak lama-lama yaww...

I'll see you soon, lads!

Hello From Bed

Sorry for the super long hiatus

Newlyweds will write again very soon ♥

Another Ramblings

Assalamualaikum, fellas... Finally I get my internet connection fixed so I can do a morning browsing/ blogging/ facebook-ing/ whatsoever.
Life have been busy (sure you heard about it a LOT) but seriously I haven't been this busy since I did my Final Project in March/ April. But seeing the fact that I literally jump into this wedding thingy right after I was done with my FP stuff, and I had been doing my FP since last year, so it is not too much if I said I am already busy for a year (and still continue... at least for one more month).

I am enjoying the process preparing my big day, even so I have my own fear about this and that. To mention a few; the amount of the catering, souvenir, invitation; so typical of every bride-to-be problems (I never heard any groom-to-be ever worrying about this... Well, what we can say? Boys). Another else such as weather. I am gonna married almost in the end of the December, which is, based on experience, is the month we'll get the heaviest rain. Idk, I am torn between worrying about my guests coming and thought that rain is a gift from God... *holly face*. But (thank's God), in a few relaxing moment I realized that I have no power to erase my worry, so what's the point of being worry all the time? There's a Bigger Hand that hold my problems,  the only one Who had the power to fix everything. That's why I should asked to Him to give me the best after I did my best :) And start to believe what happen in the future, that's the best :)

Well, what else? Oh, I owe you bunch of exciting post filled with amazing photos! (or at least that's what I was thinking...). I haven't write yet about my graduation, my last exhibition and the rebirth of my brand! I manage to do it right after I finished with invitation and souvenir, so wish me luck :D

I't's the sneak peak! :D

So I guess I'll see you later! :D

PS: I hope for the best for our brothers and sisters in Palestine... Sometime I just don't get it, how mankind can be so heartless and cruel to each other :(

In A Month

*all pics were gathered from Google*

I am going married in a month.

The stress still remain but I managed it pretty well.

Although I won't be a party pooper, I think a bit of wedding moodboard won't harm anyone!

Broken white is my eternal love. And I always looking forward to the touch of gold. 

Well, the result won't be exactly like the pics above, talking about cost... But no one as curious as me to see how my wedding turns out! :D

♥

What to Sing?

Woke up this morning with a lil hang in my head, then jumped out in front of PC monitor to go online. Why such in a rush? Well, I planned to manage my wedding song list...
Even so, I didn't expect it will bu turn out this hard; I mean, geez, it is almost two hours and minutes ago I still confused between Everyday I Love You by Boyzone or Nothings Gonna Change My Love for You by George Benson (anyway, Mr Benson won)! I was only allowed to pick 20 songs and was sunk between nowadays hits, my 90's music taste, and classics wedding songs...

The manager of my wedding's music entertainment said they tend to create particular atmosphere in my wedding, based on my personal option. I know what she was talking about; one of my friend created a wedding songlist that contained kind of songs you heard in a lounge. You know, kind which make you humming and shaking legs. Not enough to make you sing, only humming or shaking legs. Or only enjoy it.
I knoooww it is maybe good, talking about the harmony, one  theme, et cetera et cetera... but I realized I just want to hear songs that I love yet reflect my love story in my wedding *duh!*. And turned out it was a really a random list; what on earth Maher Zein will meet up with N'Sync, I asked you...

Well afterall the list finally had been made, I just need to hear what the manager said later. Oh, have I told you that I am damn nervous nowadays? Before my graduation, everything about wedding seems so far away... But today, I almost got a heart attack when realized we are going to the end of September!!! I got the bride-to-be blues yesterday when I found out the invitation was not exactly made like I expected. And the printing shop forgot to add the how-to-go-to-the-venue route... Thank's God, it's still early. We still have the time to fix it *exhale*

See, I am babbling around again. Please stay with me, at least until December :p See you soon!
xoxo
