SELAMAT PENGANTIN BARU....

to my dearest friend, Ayrul bin Mohd Rashid and his wife Maryanti binte Salim....
to my other friends fyi I was chosen to be the wedding planner for both the nikah and sanding. It was my first time doing it for a friend and Alhamdullilah everything goes on smoothly as plan. All thanks to the fullest support that was given to me by the commitee members: event director, assistant event director, floor manager, ushers, bestman, motor convoy, driver, dj, mc, caterer, mak andam and other family members. There was of course some hiccups but haha... we manage to overcome it and the show goes on....

The nikah was held at Ba'alwi mosque on 20/07/2007 after asar. Masa nak keluar rumah it was about to rain and by the time kita sampai it started to hujan lebat. Dalam hatiku berbisik, " Ya allah, moga hujan yang turun pada hari Jumaat yang penuh barakah ni, akan membawa rahmat keatas dua mempelai yang akan di ijab kabulkan sebentar nanti di rumah mu Ya Allah." tarching kan haitz sebak beb.... Bila dengar the Kadi, Pasuni Maulan proceed with the Khutbah nikah, aku duduk kat belakang sekali. The bestman panggil aku thru the set, asking me to sit nearby, but i replied takmu lah takut nanti aku pulak yang 'hujan' . Yes... dalam saat saat begini I can get very very emo so as far as possible i try to avoid ah..

Lafaz akad dimulai and Ayrul jawab dengan sekali lafaz yang penuh yakin 'Aku terima nikah........' then everyone ard him nods their head. Maka dengan itu bermula lah lembaran baru dalam hidup ayrul dengan gelaran "Suami"... I was neither smiling or crying at that time. But i was totally glad of course. Glad, happy and relief. After everyone proceeded to the reception area, I continued to stay behind at the main dewan. All the hantarans are still in the dewan, there were LV handbags and accesories, Rayban sunglasses, Levis jeans and others lar so I tot its best that I stayed behind to keep a lookout lar... Aku pun sandar lah at one of the pillar... pull out my ear piece and stared blankly in the air... for that moment of time so many tings came to my head.... hahaha.... cannot tell ah...

actually there were so many bloopers and some funny and tense incidents that took place throughout the event. I stayed over at his place for 4 nites....but lain kali ah aku story... panjang sangat ah... anway below is the pantun that i wrote for the pengantin and I recite it to them during their dinner reception.. Gabra beb... 200 org aku tak kenal all were looking and listening to me....

Dua insan berkenal mesra
Hingga terjalin ikatan pertunangan
Suka duka tetap bersama
Kini terbina mahligai impian

Lafaz akad sempurna dilaksana
Di masjid Ba'alwi kami saksikan
Suami dan isteri gelaran berdua
Selamat Pengantin Baru kami ucapkan

Majlis persandingan telah diraikan
Bermulalah lembaran hidup berpasangan
Doa dan Restu kami titipkan
Moga mahligai kekal berpanjangan.....

To Ayrul and his wife, Selamat pengantin baru, moga mahligai terbina dirahmati tuhan berkekalan hingga ke akhir hayat, dikurniakan anak anak yang soleh dan solehah... Insya allah...
I am honoured and glad to be your wedding planner.....
