Goodbye Singlehood!
I should ave started this blog thing when I’m still single, it would have been fun to write about my dates/girlies-outings/loneliness/depressions/heartaches/breakups/curses to the boyfriends…But anyway, my writings may not be much different after all, for all things, honesty will be my anthem in my writings, so feel honoured to have a chance to surf into my deepest feelings and thoughts, like no one ever had..so here goes.That title for this post is a shout out mixture of hurrah and oh-ohs..Hurrah, as I am psyched that someone would actually ‘take-me’! And oh-oh, coz oh no, what have I gotten myself into? I was so excited on the wedding preps, and when the day comes, but after that, the nerves start to catch up, as I try to get used to sharing my closet space, my bathroom, having a life-size teddy bear on my bed everyday, a live-in bodyguard and tv-junkie partner.But lemme tell you how it feels like on my wedding day. Saturday was the akad nikah (the official registration), I was quite excited, esp tht morning, went to pick up flowers and the gifts (hantaran). Then my make up artist came, and can’t believe it’s about time to slip in my first wedding dress, the simple silver beaded dress with a crooked tube. My hair bun was esp huge, to allow the scarf to sit on comfortably. I LOVE the orchids on my hair..a personal touch from dad’s very own garden. And my make up, mmmuahs to ‘Kak’ Rina who did an exceptional job, of making my nose look sharp, and my jaws narrow..the wonders of make-up.
The official ceremony itself went smoothly, my hubby pronounced our tie (lafaz nikah) with one confident breath, how proud I was..But I forgotten forawhile to appear shy and reserved, as I gazed around the room like a preying bird, until I heard Pu3 (my sis in law) whispered “Muni! look down!”. Then I remembered my place.
Now lemme tell you about my mom and sis-in-law. How adorable are they. Mom was quiet, and reserved at first, until I threw my selamba-ness, and we went shopping for traditional costume, when she warmed up slowly. Adik Lucy is a cutie pie darling who showed me nothing but love and respect. Yey. And love the moment when mom came and put the necklace on, she actually cried! Aw..
