Majlis Nikah-Vendors

My majlis nikah was on the 22nd December 2011. A very simple one indeed. We invited around 100 people.

List of vendors as follows:

1. Food: Embun Catering.

Food was excellent, but unfortunately we only had ayam goreng as everything was gone by the time majlis wrapped up.

2. Door Gift: 
Tante from Jakarta sponsored brooch along with its box. Very nice but no pics. We gave them out to all the ladies while for the men we gave out butang baju melayu. Brooch and butang baju melayu were put into a small bag along with telur masin (mom's idea). Telur wajib kan...tanda kesuburan walaupon masin! The bag is a very common one. I got mine at jalan TAR. Was very cheap. RM0.25 if im not mistaken. Pls refer below pic.

3. Dress: Sendirian Berhad

Bought lace from Tanah Abang, Jakarta. Inner was from Gulatis. Veil was from a boutique in Ampang Park RM300. Got my kurung moden baju tailored for RM120 + beads (not that much though). While for Curls, Gezal Mihat adviced to use linen. So we bought 4 meters of linen from Jakel, Shah Alam. It turned out superb! Lain drpd lain. Suka Sukaaaaaa as Curls is thin, bila pakai linen takde la keding sgt. 1meter was around RM80 if im not mistaken. While songket tenun was bought in Pasar Payang, Terengganu RM450.

4. Makeup: Munie Ahmad

Kak Munie was just superb. Harga berpatutan dan hasil kerja setanding dengan those professionals. 

Dia sgt punctual. I think she was 7months preggy. Bila makeup, sangat lembut. Orgnya pon mmg lembut. Highly recommended.

                                                                      

5. Pelamin: Ijab Qabul

As i have mentioned earlier, i wasnt going to go into details on pelamin sebab mmg in the first place mmg taknak pon pelamin. Tapi fikir2 balik, why not. Once in your lifetime :) Lagi2 mak angkat nak sponsor. Oh well, rezeki jangan ditolak ya. Ijab Qabul punya kerja sgt teliti and kemas. Love it! Liaise dengan dorang pon ok. Tak sombong mcm sesetangah vendor. Oooppps!

Idea pelamin came from this one website. Tapi dorang charge mahal sgt. RM1000+ just for this. No way im going to spend too much on a pelamin NIKAH. So i gave Shidi from Ijab Qabul the picture and apparently they came up with a better version. Good job Shidi and Julia! 

RM700

6. Hantaran: Arie Wedding

Like always, mula2 taknak ada hantaran. Lepas tu fikir2 (seperti biasa double fikir) balik, why not. Memang me and Curls tak ikut adat pon. 1 balas 1. He gave me cincin and emas kawin while i gave him a watch in exchange for a ring (dia tak pakai cincin). Gubah hantaran was RM250 each. Suka2 cantik. Tapi nampaknya mereka tak peka. I wanted something else, they gave a different gubahan. Takkan nak mengamuk last minute few hours before nak nikah kan. Nasib baik cantik. Lain kali peka and kurangkan sombong pls. Thanks

7. Photographer: Faris Syahmi

Mamat ni x payah komen sgt la. Dh mcm member2 dah. Highly recommended!

8. Videographer: Pixelworks

Overall ok. But really need to keep up with them kalau tak, lambat siap. Pushhh jgn tak push.

Price was RM1500. Harga and quality setanding la. Nak lagi cntik banyak, tp gotta pay more :)

 Did i missed out anything, anyone? Dh ngantuk sgt ni. Nak ZZZZzzzzzzzz. Will continue tomorrow insyallah!

Till Then

A New of Everything

It has been 6months since we got married. Alhamdulillah. Perasaan dlm hati mengatakan 'I seriously miss my weddings!!!'. Dulu sebelum kawin taknak sanding, taknak jalan down the isle, taknak ni taknak tu. Tapi sekarang bila semuanya dh berlalu, seriously rasa rindu sgt nak jadi pengantin. To all the girls out there who are getting married, do what you wish to do during your wedding sebab takut nanti jadi kempunan. I read someone's blog before getting married on choosing the right wedding dress. Dia kata, klo suka sgt baju tu, just go for it walaupon harga a bit off the budget. Tapi jangan la budget RM2000 tapi nak baju harga RM10,000 kan. Berpada2 ya. Yang penting hati kita puas dgn apa yang kita dapat. So pls go all out with what ever is within your mind and heart. Rasanya dh lapuk. Should i or should i not write about my weddings? Tup Tup Tup....ok la...in the next post! see ya!

Easel

Been searching for this baby. Finally read from a blog that u can get it from Weststar (Taman Melawati). So yeasterday fiance and i headed to Tmn Melawati but there was none at Weststar. So we walked around the area since it was near to MIA (Msia Inst of ARt)so there must be more shops nearby that do sell these babies. Went to a shop beside Weststar. Surprisingly it was cheaper than the ones i saw in shah alam (near uitm). So apa lagi....beli je la. It was RM92.

Make Up Artist Terengganu

Fiance texted me few days ago informing me that there will be a kenduri plus akikah in Terengganu side. Oh Myyyyyy...less than 3months and i have to go and search for a tukang mekup/mak andam. Agak2 ada tak yang masih available? Crossing my fingers!
Hot date plak tu. 31 December 2011. But thankfully it'll be just a small kenduri. I dont know how majlis bertandang in Terengganu works. But usually in KL/Selangor its just like a normal wedding.

Less is more!

Me and fiance am trying our best to minimize the wedding (in terms of costs). So no pro photographer :). I dont mind. As long as my side (reception), i get what i want.

Ive been trying to find a decent makeup person. He/She doesnt have to be a pro. As long as the end result is satisfying. I know this one contact Kak Ida from D' Paloma. Her work looks good. She resides in KL, but often goes back to Terengganu (hometown). Unfortunately she has no plan to go back on that date :(. But she recommended D'Idaman and Dee Renjis. Problem is that D'Idaman doesnt have a website, or a blog. Cant see his work. I dont care if i dont have pelamin...a photographer...but i need to have a great makeup artist!

Hantaran

They say hantaran is a must in every weddings. Well it really depends on which wedding and it REALLY depends on the individual/family. As for me, hantaran (dulang) has never been something pivotal for my family. Even during my engagement we didnt even plan to have a hantaran dulang. Only at the last minute his mom wanted to give this and that. So being a Malay, it wouldnt seem nice not to be giving anything in return. We ended up giving him 3dulangs which consists of (sirih junjung, kain and cupcakes) which wasnt even decorated properly (ooopsss). And his family gave me 5 dulang( fruits, kain, ring, sirih junjung, cake).

It was so weird and awkward. But there was no issue from both families :). Alhamdulillah. No intention of spoiling the custom and tradition, but we do it OUR WAY :). Yes people might make a remark, but honey...adat is just an adat.

As for our wedding, we came up with a plan for the hantaran. Hopefully everything will go as planned :)

HIV Test

Sebut je HIV test, im positively sure 80% of B2B will freak out. Bukan nya takut sebab nak kena jap...tp disebabkan perkataan 'HIV' itself makes it a lil creepy giving u goosebumps.
Alhamdulillah the process was simple than i thought it would be. Managed to book a session at Klinik Kesihatan Ampang. Most clinics would want u to call, come by to the clinic to isi2 borang (book the session), and come another day for the test. But Ampang clinin was diff. He managed to make an appointment through the phone. We could come by anytime from 2-4pm. We came exactly at 2pm. There was a guy, and a couple. Isi borang, bayar rm1/pax. Waited for our turn. Went to the counter and handed our finger tip, and japppp. Mmg tak sakit langsung. Tp mmg terkezzzuuttss. After a while the nurse will give the result to us, and we had to place it in a provided basket and wait for our turn for consultation. The person just ask 'bg 3 cara bagaimana HIV boleh merebak'. CET! Bila d jwb...'OK boleh kawin'. Yeay! But i think if the person was HIV positive, then they would ask on the personal Qs. You know what i mean.

Ramadhan 2011
