of wedding date

as u all might notice,my wedding is on hari raya..
precisely, the akad is on the second day of hari raya
during the kursus kawen, some (well almost everyone) b2bs that i met were surprised to know that my wedding is during hari raya..
and i was surprised as well to see their surprised faces :D

apparently here (KL & Selangor), people do not get married on hari raya
perhaps there are a few, but really rare..

au contraire, in Kelantan, weddings are usually held during school holidays, and hari raya is counted in.
it is because, it is the only time of period where u can gather the whole family, sepupu sepapat, sanak2 saudara etc.

in my case, i have a sister who is studying abroad..and she hasnt celebrate hari raya at home for almost 5 years..or perhaps 6 years
i surely want her and her family to be present on my big day
and the appopriate moment is the hari raya
so that my sis and her fam can celebrate both, my wedding and hari raya!
lagipon, a member (sometimes two) of our fam was always missing during hari raya or wedding for the past 10 years
because of that, our last family pic taken is dated 16 years back!

and that's my main reason for my wedding date =)
of course, there was time where i wanted to choose a date which is significant for us
for example on the 19th of any month, because mon prince charmant and me were born on the 19th (sounds silly arent we? )
or on the 10.10.10, mon prince charmant like this date so much..but i had to say no no no

we tried to have 10.09.10 tho..which means the akad has to be the first day of hari raya
but i might have a prob to get tok imam (hellooo..tok imam pon nak beraye ok )
and the bridal boutique told me that they will do the set up for my pelamin on the last day of ramadhan if i wanted it up before the akad
as i want to have fresh flowers, i am afraid it wont be fresh anymore for my reception (the 3rd day of raya)
thus the akad is on the 11.09.10..THE september eleventh. ngeeeeee

on the other hand..we can only plan, but everything is in God's hand
my lil bro is sent to the us for a 6 month training
and there is no chance he cud come to my wedding (sob)
he even has to postpone his wedding as well



hope we can take family picture at my bro's reception =)

doorgift: finalised

doorgift dah half settled!!! Biiigggggggggg relief =)

so if u guys still remember, my mom planned to give sarung kotak tisu as doorgift to our guests. and as my sis was going to Vietnam, she asked my sis to find it there.but no luck, my sis tak jumpe pon. but she found cotton pouch bag.



sgt murah n sgt sgt chantekk!n macam2 kaler..tp sume soft colors la.. im very much satisfied, thanks kak long =)

so skang, tgh nak carik bahan ape yg nak letak dlm pouch bag tu, here are the opitions:
-gula-gula
-chocs
-slice of homemade fruitcake
-puding

conclusion:foooddddsssssss :D

and i rase sayang sgt nak kasi this lovely nice pouch bag to kids..so im thinking of giving gula2 kpd mereka..so it will be another DIY project: beli kain net, cut it in small square size, letak gula2, then ikat pkai riben (macam org slalu buat utk bunga rampai)..ok tak?


but where can i buy gula2 timbang ye?i mean in bulk.

or beli lollipop macam huda (sgt suke lollipop bentuk love tuuuu)

utk vip yang kat meja beradap, my mom ckp dia ade berkenan something kat SSF. Im not sure wat it is, will check it with my mom bile balik puasa nanti. =)

about wedding shoes

we are getting married in about 2 months
and we didnt buy anything for barang hantaran yet..

ok i lied..there are handbag and purse, bought by my sis at bicester.
it is a duty free outlet..and u can get branded stuffs like dkny, mulberry, guess, ck, gucci dan seangkatan at cheaper price. and no, there is no coach boutique kat situ..hehhee

so that's it. baru satu dulang berisi.
we did a lot of survey, seriously, uncounted naik turun shopping malls
but we didnt buy anything..tunggu sale konon2nye..huhuhu
sale yg mane satu pon kami tak tau

btw hari isnin lepas, i mean the day when we did the hiv test and jugak pegi lh creative
we all ade singgah kat berjaye times square
sebabnye designer yg we supposed to meet tu had her tea break..
so she asked us to come at 5
but 4.30 kitorang dah tercongok kat jln pudu :D

so my fiance suggested to singgah kat berjaya times square
konon2 nak usha barang je la..iye la sgt kan
sbb i asik masuk kedai kasut je..haha
eventho dah decide tanak beli kasut akad nikah, nak sewa aje..another haha.

usha punye usha..i berkenan kat satu kasut ni.
simple. ivory-pearl white. murah. saya berkenan.my fiance pon berkenan.his money. ngeeeeee

rasenye cam tak match sgt ngan baju becoz baju kaler cream-goldish-brownish sket..tp sbb murah sgt so i angkat je..hahha..suke la hati..klu tak sesuai, pakai mase wedding org lain..erkk

after that, we all pegi balik ke lh creative..dgn hati i yg sgt gembira sbb ade kasut chantek..muahahhaha

pic?mak tade camera la yang.

wedding card: final draft approved

right after doing the hiv test, we headed to jalan pudu, lh creative.
there are two showrooms, our first visit to lh creative was at their showroom, jalan brunei.
but org yg design card kitorang is at showroom kat jalan pudu.
when we were there, the designer wasnt there yet. so salesgurl tu soh i checked draft dulu. this was our second draft..yg first draft tu kitorang dah betulkan and anta thru email.

ok there was price issue:

mula2 kitorang nak order 700, then macam tak cukup, so nak order 1000. lagipon mengikut kiraan, the different was rm160 je..so alang2 tempah je 1000. as for the price, we got "the exhibition kat midvalley" price..and luckily, mase exhibition tu, i mmg gile amik manyak sample yg berkenan, and asked the salegurl to put the exhibition price at each card. So it's clearly stated utk each card, price utk 700 keping and 1000 keping. why i asked that, sbb i takut salegurls ni lupe harga yg dia pnah ckp kat i, then nanti nak tempah jadi isu plak pasal harga, which did really occured.

bile i ckp nak order 1000 instead of 700, and ask for the price, dia ckp harga rm1.20 and without emboss!! i said it cudnt be, as harga utk 700 pon with hotstamping and emboss pon dah rm1.20. that salesgurl macam terkejut. dia ckp i can get rm1.20 utk 700 tp without emboss, otherwise it's rm1.50.

hellloooooo..i already paid the deposit, and on my invoice, it is clearly stated HS+emboss gold. lagi mau gaduh. tp yg lagi kelakar..dia btol2 tak percaye i got rm1.20 utk 700 keping..walaupun dah terang2 kat invoice i tu ade word emboss. geram jugak nak tanye if dia reti membace ke idak...

finally i said, sample card yg i picked kat exhib ari tu ade HS and emboss as well, and kat belakang mmg ade tulis harga utk 700 keping and 1000 keping. and the sample card is with the designer, because i mmg nak exactly macam sample card tu.

so dgn lajunye salegurl tu pegi carik designer utk tgk sample card tu n seb baek designer tu dah sampai opis. and yes, it's stated

700 : rm1.20
1000 : rm1.00

so terpakselah akak salesgurl tu mengalah..yeayyy!!.. harga kat sample card tu really saved my life..dan jugak sample card as well, sbb mmg ade HS and emboss..ade kad lain, tp design exactly same, cume ade HS sahaja..huhuhu

sgt sgt sgt lucky..fuhhhhhh (klu tak, sure perang la kot..menangis nanti klu kne bayar lagi mahall)

bile harga dah setel, we all checked draft dgn designer. we reread our card thoroughly again and again. tried to find errors yg bole mencacatkan kad kitorang..seb baek designer tu sgt baik n soft spoken. her name is Sara (fully recommended).almost sejam jugak la kitorang verified our card, betulkan itu ini, sempat tuka kaler kad lagi..hihihihihi. then Sara siapkan 2 bunting for both of us. tenang je rase bile berurusan dgn sara ni..takde lorat, takde nak panik, nak risau ke ape..kitorang check draft tu sampai nak muntah..hahahhha

finally, we gave our approval..dan sekarang berserah sahaja.we did out best to have our nice wedding card.

still cross our fingers tho...
