Thanks to myself because I'm still on leave today. At least I had time for my body to rest because of the exhausted after the 12 hour journey via bus from Tawau yesterday. The last time I traveled by bus was 2 years ago and alone. But this time is different because I had someone accompany me. So that I don't have to worried about my stuff because someone else will take care about it. All I need to do is hugs him and fall asleep in his arms. Ouch!..
I rarely attending wedding ceremony even tho I got a lot of invitation. As to date, I only managed to attend 2 wedding invitation for this year. Its not that I refuse to go, but apart from the location are far away, the date also not timing.
During my holiday spending in Tawau, I managed to witness my best friend's engagement day. We've been friend for almost a decade now. This is my first time attending a friend's engagement. I stayed about two days at her place so that I could learn some of the preparation while I'm giving a hand in helping her make preparation for the ceremony.
According to wikipedia, an engagement is a promise to wed, and also the period of time between a marriage proposal and a marriage—which may be lengthy or trivial. During this period, a couple is said to be betrothed, affianced, engaged to be married, or simply engaged. Future brides and grooms may be called the betrothed, a wife-to-be or husband-to-be, fiancĂ©e or fiancĂ©, respectively The duration of the courtship varies vastly.
The bride and groom will exchange gift during the engagement. Gift are famously known as hantaran in malay.
one of the hantaran. Cupcakes.
Simple pelamin decoration. Design by her Aunt.
Not missed the chance to take a photo with the bride-to-be.
My favorite photo taken by me. The bride-to-be looked stunning.
The engagement theme was peach. Luckily, I had my old baju kurung pahang to (almost) fit the theme as I don't have much time looking for a new one. I had this baju kurung about 3 years ago during my college time but seldom wear it. Why not because its still in good condition.
Congrats Jee & Wan!!
I've known Jee and her fiancee quit for a long time. I know how they met and their journey. Every relationship had theirs ups and down. But my respect for them because still stick together against all odds. After dating for almost 8 years they finally decided to tie the knot and the solemnization will be held in November. Yeah!! Due to overly excited, I brought a return flight ticket a week after the engagement.
I realize that after this there will less hanging out my best friend, Jee because she has another commitment already after this. Many of my friends are already married and even had children. I think almost all of them. Oh well! I should married as soon as possible. If not I will end up with forever alone. *sigh*
To Jee and Wan, Selamat menempuhi alam pertunangan. And good luck in planning you wedding ahead. There will be a lot prepare of course. I heard that its not good to engaged for such a long time because the engagement period is will always put emotionally challenging for the both bride and groom. But I believe in both of you.
