Our Reception

I know this is an extreme late post. But I just received my pictures from the official photographers. Hehehe. Not their fault, but it was purely mine as we are a real


Move on.


Our reception was held at Dewan Perdana Felda on the 26th October 2011. (yah I know I know its like 4 months back. hehehe)

It was an odd date since the booking was done at an extremely ad hoc basis as we had to bring fwd the reception scheduled on 7 April 2012 to this date due to my late FIL condition. But Allah lebih menyayangi abah yang dikasihi...

Lets begin the story with the preparation bit. We booked Double Tree by Hilton, merely 5 minutes away from the hall to get ready. Registration was a little bit chaotic since we were late and the suite that I booked was not available as promised so we had to take the executive room and it is very small for us to get ready.

Imagine 5 photographers, 2 videographer, 2 pengapits, 2 make up person and the 2 of us cramped in the room.>

But I was still happy!



[look at my happy face]

[finally, I look pretty]

I was dolled up by Freda Santos, the famous MUA as recommended by KS Entourage. Initially I booked Kak Liza for the night but since Freda was already included in the deal so I had to let Kak Liza go. :( I love you kak liza (if you are ever reading this)

Make up and hair : Freda Santos
Our Attire : Syahrir Nurdin

[our beautiful pelamin by KS Entourage Sdn Bhd]

The concept and theme for the night was 'Classic Malay: Balairong Seri', the idea was thrown to us by KS (the Principal for KS Entourage) when we met him at Marriot Putrajaya when we were still in searching the hall mode.

I have to admit that the pelamin was beyond words. It was more than what I ever dream of it. Well, lets be honest here. I have never dream for a big wedding and never would have crossed my mind to have it at this scale.


[his hulubelalangs]

The entrance concept was a little bit difference as he walked in first with his hulubalang and walked in later with my dayangs and we meet at the pelamin which is supposed to be our balairong seri whatever. hahahaha...and believe me it was not my idea

The whole plan was his idea. We usually hear stories bout bride turning bridezilla making sure things goes according to their plan but this one is groomzilla

*sorry baby...hehehhee*




[that's me, walking alone a-la- catwalk kucing siam since the kain was so sempit i had to walk exactly like kucing siam]

[kengkonon sultan dan permaisuri]



We had 4 different types of speech that night. One from best friend, one from the brother who didnt make it for the wedding as he was in the U.S, one from the family and one from us (more like from rizhan since I looked like a total bimbo smile smile look pretty only. hehehehe)



[part 1: from best friend Aishah and Jamalee]

Part 1 was more like to introduce how we met. But since the real cupid has a stage fright so she outsourced it to Rizhan's best friend Aishah and she dragged Jamalee as well

I love Aishah's speech. It was one honest speech and a thoughtful one. Jamalee's speech was more like ceramah by ustaz



[part 3: from the families]

Mama, Uncle Jaafar and Ana were representing the family in thanking the guest for the night. Ouh ya, part 2 takde gambar. hhehehe.






[part 4: from rizhan]

Theres a reason why we gave out speech that night. It was to thank personally all abahs' friends who came from all over the world (literally) just to attend the wedding.

The guest invited for the night were from the list made by Abah personally before he was admitted to the hospital. On his way back from my house for the merisik, he wrote down every single name in his small black book and we feel that we must invite all these people to fulfill his wish.

The guest for the night came from Indonesia, Japan, Spore and even US to celebrate us and we feel extremely blessed to know that Abah had wonderful friends who always want to remember him by.






[rizhan and abah's best friend]




We also prepared one multimedia show that shows up abah's picture and it was beautifully presented along with 'Pergi' song sang by Rizhan's friend

It was a touching moment. Al-fatihah...

We miss you Abah



All in all it was a beautiful wedding and thank you to everyone involved. and thank you booTak for giving me one reception that I will always remember for the rest of my life

11.11.11

Today is the day,
The day where tonnes of wedding hall were booked years earlier,
The day where all tok kadi are fully booked,

The day where the newbies in the wedding industries get to shine themselves and tell the whole world that "hey, we are here and we are as good as the rest"

Three of my friends are getting married today, 2 are having their solemnization and one friend is getting her marriage registered today...


What a perfect date to get married,

Husband has no excuse to forget the date as it is pretty simple date,
and that is considered awesome.

I dont really have time to blog about our reception at felda on the deepavali day last 2 weeks, but I will do it soon once I receive the official picture from danialhaikal studio. But for now just some teaser...

Till then,









Love

Nana

New Journey



Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:

A woman may be married for four reasons: for her property, her status. her beauty and her religion, so try to get one who is religious, may your hand be besmeared with dust.



{Chapter 35, Book 8, Number 3457 : Sahih Muslim}





Alhamdulillah, Ive found my match in this man and we sincerely pray and hope for our marriage to last forever...




















To all friends who came to our wedding, thank you so very much. It really brought joy to our big day and again, thank you




Special thank you to all vendors who helped me throughout the whole preparation and making it a success.

Ida & Irfan: Congratulations!!!

I often see wedding as one part where those in business get rich and those wanting to have a good one die trying.
It has turn into one day where everyone try to outshine each other by doing something that others cannot do or rather cannot afford to.
From the event venue till the very last detail, even the invitation card.
What requires is just tonnes of bucks lying around, waiting to be splurge excessively.
What makes it more sad is one even suffer after that, post - marriage depression due to huge debt

But...
This one is an exception
Becauseeeeee....

This is the most beautiful wedding I have ever attended this year.
Yes!!!
From the pernikahan, after nikah ceremony and the reception.
It was indeed a beautiful wedding marathon
They deserve medal for this
Clap clap


Wedding held at Sime Darby Convention Centre,
It was the day to celebrate the merger of two entities,
'The Idas' and 'The Irfans'

From the door gift till speech given by bride's father,
I love it all....


* The newlyweds getting ready to perform the grand entrance.




* persandingan


* The pelamin



* menu for the night

We started the night with the lovely oxtail soup. Yum yum...as we were extremely hungry that time so the soup reach its base in just seconds away. Hehehe


*the soup

And so we begin the makan fiesta right after,
I did not take much time to walloped all offered dishes. Hehehe, pity those who were seated at the same table as mine as I believe almost 50% of the portion went into my belly.
My jolly belly
Hehehehe


* the sumptuous food

Soon, we were served with the desert. Haih, I have to tell you, it was good until I have no shame at all to even request for a second plate. Hahhaha... DID NOT!!! Segan okie..



And this is the door gift for the night, a chocolate egg from Fidani. Lovely




Guests were seated according to organisations. Ehwah...namely Maybank, BNM, LSE and of course family members. There were performances that night, Zapin, Joget and Inang kot. But I didnt have the picture to be uploaded here

Okay, before I further bore you with my lousy write up about the wedding, enjoy the rest of the pictures.

:)
