Same status cousin
Yeay my closest cousin since I was young has gotten hitched just a few months after me. Dearest Mazni, the ever modest and soft-spoken girl who had lived all her life with her family in Terengganu has found her knight of shining armour. I was so excited to see her, particularly to share with her what she will be expecting on her big day. She was not nervous (yeah, so wasn't I AT FIRST), and was blur and dreamy (been there!). Stood by her all the way along with her 2 younger sisters who were nothing but big smiles and giggles. I wore the soft pink kurung pesak just for that day and I was right in guessing that PINK will be the theme color. Yes, it is Mazni's fav color..She had her official hitching (akad nikah) ceremony at the serene Floating Mosque in Kuala Terengganu. Peaceful and a holy start of a new life. Couldn't resist a picture to pretend that we were the newlyweds..Then, back at Ami (Mazni's mom)'s house, the party is just beginning. Mazni sitting calmly, seems to have no care in the world, except to get beside her hubby as fast as she could. *Grin*. It was obvious how the wedding reception was planned to be made as simple as possible, because she didn't have a professional make up person or even a bridesmaid picked out! My sister in law Kak Faridah and Mak Long came to the rescue to do her make up. And without hesitation, I jumped into the position, and fan-ned her as the 'bidan terjun' bridesmaid for the day. Although my post not as glamourous as I thought as they did not have the merenjis ritual, I felt equally important showing Mazni the ropes on posing, posture and procedure of a so-called wedding ceremony. (I'm so full of it).Anyways, the journey and in between family hang outs to Terengganu has been quite pleasant. It's nice to have B around to do this with. I found a nice silk batik to make baju raya this year. Never was I, in my adult life was looking forward to Raya, but this year I am..
