I am truly sorry for all the wrong doings I may have caused intentionally/unintentionally that have hurt you in any ways, I beg for your forgiveness on this holy day.
Forgive & forget whatever that has happened in the past & make the best out of the future years to come. InsyaAllah. =)
* Rendang, lodeh, ketupat..all the various biscuits, especially tat nenas..I’m here! Hehe...
Anyway, we've decided that our nikah will be at the beautiful Masjid Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin (Masjid Besi), Precinct 3, Putrajaya.
Walimah will be either at the masjid's hall/surrounding area (kiblat walk, please) or an outdoor venue somewhere else or some hall in putrajaya (am not loving this option).
The date & time are yet to be determined. What has been discusses last time by both our parents was that it might be in March, 2011. So, based on that, I have about 6 months..but since we might/might not push it back & I don’t want to freak out & realize I don’t have enough time to plan & all, I am putting my ideas in this blog & hopefully, have the job easier to manage.
So, anyway...nikah & walimah will either be on the same day, same place/same day, different place (this is a bit troublesome as we might need to think of transporting the guests)/different days & place.
It will either be nikah (either morning/evening) & a short walimah right after (same/different place). Invite everyone, they can choose to be present for the nikah/not.
-or-
Nikah will be done the night before & walimah the next day. I might invite people for walimah only & nikah will be attended by immediate families only.
Should be determined as soon as the venue is confirmed or at least 4 months prior (info for invites).
Anyway...here are the dates that I'm considering (based on the fact that his birthday-04/02/1985 & mine-01/12/1985 is 300 days apart & my birthday & his 1st birthday is 65 days apart) :
I love the variety of food available here.. I love the history & historical places! I love that we are a multicultural & we live in harmony. I love everything that you have to offer Malaysia!
I hope everyone had a wonderful day!
*What did you guys have for iftar? I had nasi lemak & some curry mee with soya bean & cincau drinks, kuih lapis & seri muka! yummy. *Eid is just around the corner! I'm so excited!
Unlike most B2Bs,..who are planning their wedding for their soon to come wedding day (which they already know roughly when it’ll be)..I am actually planning for..the wedding of course..I am doing all the planning minus the actual booking, buying & stuff..
Why, different? Well, simply because I am not in the race yet. I am planning this way (notice the use italic there?) in advance because..well..I just don’t want to find myself in such a state where everything needs to be rushed. Trying to minimize any last minute hiccups that might happen..I hope not..but better be prepared, right?
Plus, have any of you noticed the amount of wedding blogs/infos/vendors there are nowadays? If there were only ten..I would not be sitting here in front of my laptop at 01:39 in the morning. There are so many blogs, and I have seen & read quite a lot..some helpful, some not so..some have really interesting & detailed info [ =) ].
At least by tackling the blogs & identifying which vendors I like now..I won’t have to do much research later on..just contact them & get on with the process.
So anyway, like it or not..I'll be posting current thoughts & ideas on the wedding..not things that are finalized & on-going processes for wedding itself.
Like any B2B..I just want my wedding to be a stress-free one. I’d like to be enjoying the couple of days/weeks prior to the wedding & not have to stumble/run here & there like a headless chicken..ESPECIALLY when I think it’ll be a fully hands-on & DIY wedding.
Okay, guess that’s all for now.
I’ll be posting a list of things regarding the wedding which I think should be handled later on. I’ll be listing it all down & discuss on the matter one by one.
Today is the start of my life as a wedding planner-bride. I’m hoping that I can pull it off. Well, at least if I conquer it earlier, I will know later if I actually need the help of a wedding planner..but I hope not.
Anyways, as I have said before...I love the idea of ‘green’ weddings, somewhat of a garden/backyard/park kind of thing. We want an intimate ceremony, but given the huge & close-knit family members that we have..that will be somewhat a problem as we have to narrow down to how many & who our guests will be.
What’s most important to us is of course, creating a ceremony that reflects our relationship, personalities & includes as many personal touches as possible.
So, as soon as my engagement ring was places on my finger, I immediately began to mentally catalogue my top priorities (one can never underestimate the importance of knowing your priorities in an upfront and clearly defined way) with regards to designing our day, which I hope will be a memorable one.
Here are the most important aspect of the wedding which need to be further discussed :
Location Date/Time Photography/Videography Food Company Music
Um...anything else? Guess that's all for now..will continue at another time. Ttfn.
