"Pertunangan adalah menyentuh (mengemukakan) pernikahan
daripada orang yang diambil kira dengannya"
After more than 5 months of planning..the day finally arrived for us to officially get engaged :) Despite our long-distance..my syg & I planned everything together..it all started with the first step--> me going to Sabah (in June '09) to meet syg's mum & dad (because on our engagement day they can't come to KL)..We bought all our hantaran stuff (engagement rings, shirt, tie, baju kurung, etc.) during the Merdeka Sale when syg came over to KL & we got real GREAT bargains (knowing me, I always go crazy over SALES). From booking our catering, photog, make-up, flight tickets...all the preparation that we made felt so much more precious when we used totally our own savings (so it was with a very tight budget! hahaha)~ and to make everything that bit more meaningful..my bestfriends & family were helping me in anyway that they could ♥
what more could I ask for when I have my hearts updating me on the best sales/shops around, maf making my hantaran, Kaye sponsoring my engagement cake, my uncles & aunts sponsoring jelly, dadih, chocolates for my hantaran, gubahan sireh junjung & sarang burung, popia (yang mmg jual kat kg. Baru ok!)..I am honestly the most luckiest girl around :)
We got engaged on a Saturday afternoon, after Zohor (approx. 1.45 pm) & everything went smoothly & fast...It was great..to have syg's family there (dorg datang about 8 cars i think), his uncles & aunts that flew from Sabah to join our ceremony, his cousins, siblings & niece..inilah time for them to berkenal-kenalan with my KL-based family :)
The Theme: Lilac Purple/Baby Purple/Light Purple
My Hantaran's to him: Lilac Purple + Black
His Hantaran to Me: Silver + White
as it was a small & simple event..we only invited our family members, my best best friends & our neighbours, so im sorry if anyone terasa sebab tak dijemput, it doesn't mean that we aren't close..it's just...engagement's should be that way..time kahwin nanti, InsyaAllah..we would want to invite everybody!! (my mum siap nk ajak makcik yang jual burger kat pasar malam~yes, my mum is an over-peramah person) hehehe
"Tidaklah digalakkan menghebahkan pertunangan
sepertimana perkahwinan. Hebahan pertunangan
sekadar perlu adalah terletak di atas budi
sepertimana perkahwinan. Hebahan pertunangan
sekadar perlu adalah terletak di atas budi
bicara keluarga masing-masing"
"Adapun hebahan tentang perkahwinan adalah
digalakkan (sunat) oleh Islam dan menghadirinya adalah wajib."
