Syukur alhamdulillah

Praise to the Almighty, I am now a wife to the man I love dearly. :) My solemnization & wedding reception took place last Sunday, October 24th 2010. Overall, the event went smoothly, alhamdulillah. Below are some of the unofficial photos, taken by one of my hubby's best friends (official photos from professional photographer will be shared another time...hehehe)...

My family members at my solemnization, with the triplets being as "quiet" as they can. Hehehe... ;)

Part of hubby's family members. Even his aged grandma came, which made me really happy. :)

The two of us, officially husband & wife... :)

These photos were taken after my solemnization. Wedding reception photos? Another entry, ya. ;)

Tomorrow's the day!

It's Saturday morning...just over 24hrs more till my solemnization! ;)

Dub dab dub dab

This time next week, I'll be at the mosque, waiting to be married, waiting for my fiance to say the right words to make us husband & wife. Yikes! Hehehe...

Am I prepared to be a married woman?? I don't really cook well, do housekeeping that well...well, not yet. Hehehe... Erm, not too sure about being fully prepared for it, but I'm definitely gonna give it my best. Hehehe...

I've been living on my own for so long, being single all this time. To share my life with someone (package includes families & friends too! Haha!) is indeed a huge step in life, right? Well, I'm willing to give it a go, and so is he. I'm sure it won't always be sugary sweet, the eternal sunshine with happy smiles all the time, but well, that's part of marriage. :)

The Wedding Invitation Card...

The black-&-white artwork... :)

Too bad the beautiful olive-green with silver scribbles can

10 more days...

...till I'm no longer a single woman... ;)

Pretty pic

It's just too pretty. A swan at Serpentine Lake, London (pic courtesy of my lovely colleague, Zanita, who went to the UK with her son a couple of months ago).

Psst: Notice the shape made by the swan?? A heart! (Suddenly reminded of that song, which goes "Love is in the air... Everywhere I look around..." Haha! Well, love is definitely in my air!) Hehehe...

October

...already??? This is my wedding month... Yikes! :p Hehehe...

I've still to hand-out / distribute (post) my wedding invitation cards. Need to post to my FB as well, since I'm running out of cards (erm, over-distributed at my workplace...haha!). Although I know most of my colleagues or work acquantaintences will not be able to attend my wedding (a bit far from here...my hometown is 4hrs drive away), I just felt it better to hand them my cards, to still invite them as we've worked together for some time now. Same goes to a number of my friends. :)

My theme... off-white & green... Not exactly like in the pic, but just wanted to put it up. Hehe... ;)

Oh, the card... ;)
The envelope is white, with olive green lettering and design. While, the card itself is olive green in color with silver lettering and design (embossed). It's actually quite glossy, but not well captured in the pic. Simple, but still nice, right? :) (Do excuse the bad photography, ya...)

Erm...just realized the post office's closed today, as it's the 1st Saturday of the month. Huhu... So, guess I'll have to wait till Monday to post the cards (since I haven't got the stamps yet. :p)

Raya! Raya! Raya! Part 2...

In the midst of preparation, as food just arrived... Yum! Yum! Looking at the pic, just realized that the 3 of us (myself, Kak Liza, Razman) at the table were in shades of pink! Hehehe...

Some of the menu for the event. :) Mouth-watering watermelon, delicious festive cookies (traditional & modern ones), lemang, roti jala... Yum, yum, yum! :D

Preparation got done earlier than expected (by 3.30pm. The event was scheduled to start at 4pm, when everyone available that day, is available. Hehe). So, everyone back to their own work first, before the event officially begins... Well, work still needs to get done, right? ;)

Arrival of the engineers, led by our Manager, En. Rahim (smartly dressed in full Baju Melayu attire)... Hehehe... We didn't actually plan our arrival from the upstairs office to be in a flock, like this... It just happened that we were all at the office and En. Rahim led us all to the lab downstairs. Haha!

In the previous post, pic of the ladies were posted. Now, here's a pic of the men of System Testing. :) Almost all of them were there, minus a few. :)

Oh, we also mass-celebrated (is that the correct expression?? Hehe) August and September's birthdays that day. Aren't the cupcakes just lovely? (after tasting, also yummy!) Oh, simply chose the "football field" theme as only the "boys" celebrated their birthdays within those two months. Hehehe...

Well, the event was a success, in my honest opinion. Everything went on nicely. Slight hiccups here and there, but nothing significant. :)

Selamat Hari Raya, everyone! :D
