Alhamdulillah! :D

I am finally married to my First Boyfriend.

Honestly, a Wedding shouldn't be about getting the most expensive, well-known brand name nor does it mean you get the cheapest vendor lepas tu takot sendiri bile vendor cabut. No it was never about that. Don't go around babbling, nikah je cukup. Honestly? Who wouldn't want to share the joy of Nikah infront of Allah S.W.T and HIS servants?

Make sure, that whoever vendor you're getting-its affordable to you. 

Yes you are allowed to have Bridesmaids, but please, don't start to compete in getting the MOST number of bridesmaid just cause your enemy has hers/his.

The hantaran thing? JANGAN SUSAHKAN PIHAK LELAKI FOR THOSE YANG MATA JUWITAN. Simple right? Unless you want to get married owing people hell loads of money.

And I bet, no one would have told you that you'll be Home Sick if you're staying with your in laws more than yours or that you already have your own place. I was homesick and had trouble sleeping. But Alhamdulillah, with a supportive husband, insyaAllah it will all be good.

The joy of getting married to the Man I love other than my father and brothers, is just splendid, Masya'Allah!

Let me just share the experiences through the various photos below in no order of events.

These were the vendors we took:

I have yet to feel the jitters. Perhaps I will be when I'm going to do my own bridal henna. Nyehehehe.


As of now, past few weeks has been chaotic. So much drama lah from unnecessary people. At the same time, I have been helping his elder cousin to prepare the photobooth at his place of reception. Pretty exciting cause the Boss is quite good with getting the right stuffs to put into place. CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THE OUTCOME!


Since this is my last "free" weekend as a single lady, I got to work in preparing the dulang-dulang hantaran yaw. Dengan tak mandi pagi, I did the following:





It's simple to me... And I did all of this from scratch with the help of my cute siblings. Kirekan berkat titik peluh pengantin? Hehe. I don't mind sharing cause people will end up seeing this next week. I doubt I will have time to be updating my blog soon right after the wedding. But whatever it is- people can say what they want.


We went for our last fitting the past Wednesday. I loveeeeeeee all the dresses I wore from Yani Mariposa Bridal. Macam nice like that. Hehe.





Ala mak, kahwin kan aku!

I am on MC today :( Am having a sore throat, earache,  flu (nose macam tap), diarrhoea and now I feel like throwing up. Dugaan kerje and nak kahwin ah ni?

Anyways,

After ironing the cloth, I displayed it this way to see how much cloth I need each. I had to pin the back to secure the cloth. I made these myself! The best part? His mum loves it! So did Abang handsome :) Alhamdulillah. Amin.

I feel really blessed. I should be... If I don't appreciate these little things, I guess I will continue to be negative about almost, EVERYTHING.

I used to complain about always having to help my mum out with my siblings. Oh come one, at the age of 16 and such, everyone had their own "life" and boyfriends. Me? I had to come home, to wash the toilet, change the diapers, settle the rubbish, vacuum the floor, get nagged for not doing those in tip-top condition, juggle with school and I was very into CCA and the Student Council, Vice President katekan. hehe. 

BUT, it was indeed a blessing in disguise. I can handle babies less awkward than some of my friends, changing diapers of babies are pieces of cake, you can come to my house toilet and literally sleep in there okay, only my kitties does that. hehehe. And that, multi tasking, is part of the job in the working world. So I guess those experiences HAS BEEN and STILL is a plus point for me.

The best part?

I'm blessed with so many relatives, friends and so many contacts.

From my wedding cards, to the bridal that we've engaged, photography, videography, kompang, Dj and music for the 2 days, booking of buses, caterers and I cannot help but smile at myself regarding this.

Although most of my vendors may not be as well known as some of  those you have engaged, it is A-Okay (re-assuring Brides who may feel like they're missing out in having a great wedding) . If you see and look at it in a way that-we're helping these small businesses grow and that we have to have faith that they'll execute the best for you, InsyaAllah, they will.

Yes a wedding is a once in a lifetime thing, but it's not everything that should be happening in your life. Your marriage is.

I feel blessed for everything that has happened, and will happen in the future. We aren't the best of planners cause HE is.

Well, we did what was the most important of it all- to get ourselves registered. Cun-cun 12 midnight, I had my fiancé sit with me in front of my lappy. Just to make sure that his details and mine are correct. On top of that- we had to think of our saksi-saksi too! That part panic mode. Cause I thought I was suppose to have them from my side. Actually it doesn't matter pon. But since my dad will be my Wali, it'll be fair to have the saksi-saksi from his side :) 

And so, kite pun bergegas ke Sembawang town council to book the linkway and void deck. Fuyoo. I had information from them that- deposit for the venue(s) will increase to be $500 from the usual $100 with effect from 1st April 2015. That's cause they said people have complained about the wedding being too noisy and tukang masak waste water and all. Ishk. Sometimes I think that there's so much that you can do. I can imagine the $$$ pain future pengantin-pengantin has to go through. Please remember to bring your parents or siape-siape yg you tinggal with, as they are the owner of the house to be able to book your venue. 

So, we settled the booking of venue!

Looking back at what I have actually done... I don't think I've done ALOT. Okay maybe, some of  the research, asking, contemplating, annoying the partner with what WE should want (of course I took into account what the Mr. wants. Nyehehe) 

Anyways, 

I can't believe we actually booked our bridal for andaman THAT early. The price we got then, was GOOD. It still is good. But from what I heard, they've recently made changes to the price. The bridal is quite flexible with payment. Kirekan; Own Timing, Own Target (OTOT) kinda thing ah they said. so kite pon OTOT lah.

I think it's about time that I actually write about something I do that is related to weddings/ ijabdanqabul/ solemnization. Thanks to a sweet sweet friend (Read up on this Bride-to-be HERE) She gave me an idea for me to write up on this post. Heh.

I run a small business called Inai By Rini. You can look it up on Facebook or Instagram in regards to the designs. I left my number for Bride-To-Be's to contact me, if they want to lah kan. hehe.

If you wish to compare me with the fantabulous Syraskins or Ekasya and all other better henna artist, of course I'm not there yet. I know myself. I still have loads to learn! But the reason I'm doing so is cause, it's a therapeutic task to be henna-ing other people. Therapeutic habis babe.

Here are the rates of what I am currently doing. 

I'll prolly give you a peek of my artwork(s) too, yes? Hehehe. Here you go people. 

**I do not claim that all the designs are mine, unless stated. It unethical to claim a design as mine when it's not. But rest assured, I will do up designs from ANY source that you can provide me with. Afterwhich, I will leave a tag on IG/FB of who or where I/You got the inspirational designs from :)

I'd say that, you will now know who you may think of engaging for your Big Day? Hahaha. I tak force you okay. I'm just one of those people you may want to keep in mind ladies.
