Overview, Diana's Wedding

Reached JB at 11 something. Normal timing, though considering I started at 8 something. Many cars on the road. Duhhhh! (Earlier Saturday I started journey at 11 am something).

Diana-Irman's Wedding
December 16, 2006
Putrajaya Holdings' Conference Hall, Precinct 2, Putrajaya.

The bride n groom - beautiful, handsome. Sama cantik, samanya padan. Intelligent. Very nice persons. Bride is my immediate cousin and groom is my distant cousin (hers, too, definitely). So it was a marriage of relatives, a hall-ful of relatives.

The ceremony - Well-planned, well done. Great slides accompanying us throughout the ceremony. Rasa terharu dan nak menitis air mata watching the slides on Friday night's Majlis Pernikahan. Obviously, the photographer is the best in capturing golden moments. Two particular pictures touched my feelings deeply, i.e. the photo of Uncle Jamil hugging Irman after nikah and that of Auntie Ah's hugging Diana with red, tearful eyes. Another nice photo was that of the Doa Pengantin.

The food - In complete agreement with Auntie Na. Poor catering services. Though it was beriyani, the lauk-pauks were dry, no acar in sight. Tak tau lah kot dah habis, but I arrived at about 2 something. Majlis began at 12 noon. Takkan kot. There was nasi putih. The daging kurma was a bit liat. Air sirap. And there was teh tarik stall-style outside the hall. Auntieh Ah said the caterer degil. She's been telling them to alter menus repeatedly, but tak de apa changes. But it's okay. Alhamdulillah, it is rezeki. First time buat kenduri kahwin pun, pasti ada yang tak biasa.

Baju Pengantin - In fuchsia shade. Like the bride and groom, sama cantik, sama sepadan. Their own wedding outfit, not rented ones. Diana pakai tudung cantik dan kemas, tak nampak janggan with the veil and tiara.

Her sisters - Lovely angels, all three of them - Iffa, Sarah and Yasmin.

The Wedding Cake - Three-tiered, different flavor each. Was there when they cut the cake, eat with the pengantin. Tasted vanilla and coffe flavs.

ANIS - It was as if my darling angel was waiting for me the moment I made my entrance. MISSED HER SINCE YESTERDAY. There she was, dalam dukungan my ayah, she was quiet and calm, but she looked slightly bored, probably not used to the crowd and excessive noise (really, really my niece). Was playing with her hands, lost in thoughts, haha. The moment she saw me, terus hulurkan her hands, smiling, asking me to dukung her. Alhamdulillah, sayang Anis. The man who was talking to my Dad said, "Mau pulak dia orang dukung". My dad said, "Dah hari-hari dukung dia, ni (myself)". Hahaha.. sounds like a failed attempt by that man to dukung Nayniss. She can be very reserved with some men. No problem with ladies, though. After that she played with my long necklace, which I named 'tasbih anis' - sebab dia pegang the beads macam tengah berwirid.

The Music - mostly my favourites, for I used to like love songs too mmucchh!

THE UNWANTED ELEMENTS - Thanks to Allah, when I arrived, they already went back!

Relatives - Spent a great deal of my time there salaming and chatting with my relatives. Tiring, but I was happy nonetheless. I took Anis almost everywhere I go, and she sat quietly with me. Two people alike, it seemed. Two people who don't really like crowd and noise, finding comfort in each other's company. THANK GOD FOR NAYNISS. Nasiblah ada juga sorang gang in my family. Yeehah! Agaknya si Nayniss ni gonna be like me, loving her own company. But this does not mean we don't have friends or tak suka berkawan. We do, but only the people we trust.

Gambar - Whenever I have it, will share it.
