Dean and Nur Aimi - Qil's Sis

WHO:

Sometimes, faith do have a funny way of letting our path crossed. We were on our way back from JB when we saw them. Qil drove the car while Fie, Wana, Ada and Ezum squeeze themselves at the back; they were minding their own business. After a few rounds of persuading them to contact the number I wrote on a piece of paper, they finally agreed to stop at one of the R&R. That day, Hamid and I got ourselves involved in their life, as the unofficial abang angkat. Being one, I have been trying my very best to stand by their side, whenever they needed me. Today, Qil's sister, Aimi, tied the knot to the person who needed her the most. She would be standing by his side, I'm sure. And on the other hand, I had to be there for Qil (and of course, for Wana and Ada who wanted to take a cab to the kenduri, if I hadn't offered myself to bring them over).

THE WEDDING:

The colourful reception was held at Dewan Alamanda, Seksyen 20, Shah Alam. The happy couple decided that blue should be the colour of the day. The pelamin was nicely assemble, beige in colour, of which I think does not really blend well with the based colour of blue, but then again, the couple do stand out when they sit on the pelamin. An arch was put up at the centre of the hall, which, initially had puzzled me, as I thought it should be suitably place at the entrance; probably symbolizing the door of a new life that the couple chose to venture together. As they walked slowly towards the stage and stopped near the arch, dozens of photographers took their chance of taking the best shots of Aimi and Din. Judging by the numbers, one could easily be misled thinking that the couple are celebrities. Anyway, Bagai pinang dibelah dua, they deserved it. Yet, I think they should have smiled more often on that auspicious day.


The bunga telur were of different variants but the ones that caught my attention were nicely arranged in a rattan box or a nice plastic container (could be). A sweet girl at the entrance was handing it away. She too, had caught my attention, probably it was in her smile.

PERSONALLY:

I will at least stay on guard; for Qil's Mahligai, one day.

Siti Azliyah Eli and him

WHO:

Siti Eli is an old friend. I met her when I was doing audit at FAS in Kelana Jaya. Since then, we stayed in contact although I've shifted jobs a couple of times. I suppose it's because our line of work is similar. She was married earlier to a teacher and was blessed with 3 daughters. It didn't take her long to be in love again and continued this blossomed love into a marriage.

THE WEDDING:

It was a simple reception. Only 2 khemah(s) were put up in front of the double storey house in Setia Alam, Selangor. This would easily cater for approximately 40pax each per khemah. Purple was the based colour used. The bedroom was coloured is green and white as the based, and it was decorated very simple, suggesting that the newly weds are 'simple' people.
A big mirror was hang on the wall giving the room a wider effect. Squeezing myself to take the shots were not that easy though but i did managed.
Nevertheless, the set up was very nice. Just take a look..


PERSONALLY:

Marriage is never a simple thing. And it is even harder if you come in a package. The commitment that she pledged to him would be an uphill task but she had always believed that there's light at the end of the tunnel. She never quits. I wish the courage of hers would flow through to the daughters. They would need this courage in the new Mahligai. And indeed, I would need some doses of the courage too.
May God bless you and your family.
