One HUGE sigh of relief

Some posts back, I mentioned that there was a major problem with one of our wedding items. Really, it is like the quintessential of the wedding. It will make or break the wedding. This one kokarp, die already la like that.

We FINALLY saw our outfits for the wedding. Yup, one week away from the wedding and we finally get to see what we are gonna wear for the wedding. Siao bo.

Why so late you ask?

Because there have been a few hiccups here and there. Of course me and the tunang were anxious to see how our outfits turn out. We were THIS close to actually coming up with a backup plan if this didn't work out, 1 month away from the wedding. The thought of wanting to engage a different bridal was definitely one of our consideration.

Nonetheless, Alhamdulillah. Luckily throughout the wait, I kept my cool. The tunang of course wasn't happy la but lucky for us, our MUA, Kak Yati from Padi Bridal ensured us time and time again that everything will turn out alright.

I loved all the outfits. The tunang is superbly happy with his tanjak.

(Oh, don't get me started on this tanjak story k. We chose our bridal based on his preference of tanjak designs. No, I wasn't the cerewet one. Lucky I wasn't so cerewet on how a MUA cucuk the sanggul or put on the pengantin's lipstick or something.)

MasyaAllah, I really can't believe everything is finally falling into place. Alhamdulillah.
So many things to do still throughout the week. So I will still be kept on my toes until all this is over.

Everything is going on smoothly so far. I shall cherish and enjoy the last few remaining days of my wedding planning. May He continue to ease our plans. In Shaa Allah.

"Enjoying Married Life The Halal Way"

A good article for any of you planning on getting into the next phase of your relationship.

Excerpt from the article on www.purematrimony.com

The initial days and nights after a wedding are a blur of activity for a newly married couple, as they respond to invitations by close family and friends to dinner parties, lunches and other social get-togethers with culturally resplendent bridal splendor.

As the newly married husband and wife get sucked into the whirlpool of wedding-related activities, alternating between intimate nocturnal moments and frenzied daytime decking up and dining, it is easy to slip into heedlessness of God and laid-backness regarding acts of worship.

There are a few things that the new bride and groom can do in order to prevent their marriage from creating a distance between them and God on an individual level. The answer lies in ‘joining forces’ to become each other’s pillar of support in staying closely connected to God during this blissful and blessed milestone of their young lives.

May He ease all our plans and may we all be granted barakah as we complete half of the deen of our soulmates.
For we can only plan, but He decides.

InShaaAllah.

TEN!

Yes. I am still here. I have been drowned by all wedding preps. And to top all that off, I still jalan raya u olls.

But if you followed my instagram, you know that I had 1001 wedding thingamajigs to do. Heh.

And today, the magic number is...

10 dok.

Dah boleh kira dengan 2 tangan bro.

It has been very tiring these past few days. I finally finished cleaning my room. *hopefully I made more than enough space for the hubs-to-be stuff to come in* Just waiting for the new bed to come in (yah, it is coming in 1 week before the wedding because SOMEONE didn't want me to sleep on it before the wedding)

My invites are almost depleting. My wedding favours are almost done packing.

I hate to think that I left out something to do when I know that everything is done. Doing things last minute is a problem but completing duties early can also be a problem. Haiz.. such is life.

That aside.

The common question I've been getting is...

"So how do you feel? Any jitters yet?"

Well, I would ask the same question to any BTB. And truthfully, if they tell you they have not felt anything yet, they are right. You get so caught up with necessary preps, that you don't feel any jitters yet. The main thing in your mind is getting things done.

And I have also been practicing the "pantang" trend between pantins-to-be. We stopped meeting each other 1 month before the wedding, and so far, Alhamdulillah. You have some time to yourself and truthfully, you have some time with your loved ones. Well afterall, it is just one month what. After that, you can berkepit all you want with him kan? Hehe.

I hope all you BTBs are having loads of fun getting things done for the wedding. Despite all the stress, worry and tiredness, I did have fun. I know I will miss the process eventually, but then again, I look forward to the marriage.

I think I will only feel jitters when I see henna on my hands. I think that is a clear indication that "this is it". You get what I mean kan?

Sorry la u olls, I takde la update pape sgt. I think right now, all I need is loads of rest. Oh my poor dark circles.....

Nonetheless... I nak repeat lagi...

10 DAYS TO THE WEDDING!!!!!!!!

The wedding card reveal.

P.S. Macam mana punya bagus je. HAHA

Crunch time!

2 more sahurs and we are done with Ramadhan. What?! I haven't finish claiming reward points you know!

And to top it all off, there is suddenly so many things to do for the wedding!

I need to get my photobooth props done.
I need to get my backdrop stand done.
I need to get my backdrop materials.
I need to mail out my wedding cards.
I need to print 1001 things.
I need to send out itineraries to the vendors.

And we are almost through with the first week of August. Stoppit eh.

And I have been having hair problems lately. My face is going crazy. My skin doesn't seem to wanna be rid of scars.

And I still have Hari Raya to think about! Didn't know I could squeeze some baking in between all this madness.

I honestly, don't feel stressed out or worried coz I know how to keep my cool but my body screams out to me. Must be all this weird hormones.

Ya Allah, permudahkanlah segala urusan hambaMu ini. Moga segala perancangan kami akan berjalan dengan lancar.

Nonetheless, no matter how much you plan for things to turn out the way you want to, if things want to go wrong, it will go wrong. So redha and let things fall into place naturally.

Must. Keep. Calm. And. Just. Kahwin.
