Weddings are such a joy. Catching up with family and friends.
And especially when friends that we grew up with. From small and suddenly everyone's all grown up!

Engagement.
Alhamdulillah, Praise to Allah for the blessings upon my family to have me and my sister to get engaged in one day. It was a fun and fantastic day. With lots of laughter and smiles. To have neighbors, family and close friends with you to further cement the foundation in order to build a bridge towards marriage. Words cannot describe enough how thankful I am to my family, especially my mom for her tremendous effort and support.
Believe it or not that picture is one of the 3 of us together. Lucky me to have a very shy fiance.
Below is a brief summary of all the people/team I worked with for the engagement day. I have no major complains ( yg kecil2 tu biase lah, I am a closeted perfectionist) and I have no qualms about working with them again in the future.
The pelamin was done by Surizlan Bridal House. I have to say I am very happy with the outcome and for such an affordable price too! I wanted something classy yet simple and the husband and wife team delivers!
The food was catered by Nurul Izzah catering and Alhamdulillah, everyone loved the food. Including my picky great aunt!
Baju was bought by my mom some kedai I can’t remember where. Was surprised by design at first, but I somehow grew to love as the engagement drew near. She also gave me the brooch on my tudung with a matching ring big enough to rival mak datin.
The veil was lend to me by sister. and the tudung was designed and tailored from Kak Nora in Shah Alam. I’m not a fan of tudung with awning but hers is just comfortable.
The gifts, was made by my close friend, Adreen Nordin. She is talented and I am very happy with the end results.
Photography was a last minute thing, was suppose to have Ian Zakie but he got cold feet so Syafiqah Ainudden and Erliani came to my rescue. They gave their commitment and it wasn’t at all awkward.
and lastly makeup was done by Farah Munirah from MakeupParlour. I am always a fan of natural makeup and against that motto of: “a good makeup artist is one that can change how u look” itu motto zaman 90s okay. She is friendly and bubbly. She even manage to cool my nerves. I love the outcome. and more brownie points were earned when my family (especially my mom) loved how she make me and my sister up. Key word: you still look like yourself only better. :)

Hello
Have you ever felt that your dreams are slipping away?
Or that your life has turned into nothing but routine?
Or that the weight of the world is on your shoulders?
Or that you’ve changed but you’re not sure for better or worse?
But, at the same time,
You feel like jumping to the moon in joy,
and you feel like you’ve accomplished something,
and that Joy, that pride, is enough to make you say:
“Booyah! Bring it on,”
