The first akad

The first mini kenduri of Wani, my sister in law is done. Phew. Back to Taiping and working. Why it's mini kenduri? Because it is only the solemnization ceremony. The reception will be held in January next year. So now it's time to focus on the next event which is the akad and reception of my own sister, Uda in Taiping this coming weekend. Let's have a run through, shall we. The next week will be the reception on the groom side in KL. Another week later is the reception of Wani in Seremban and the week after that is the reception of Wani's husband side also in Seremban. See how many kenduris I have in line. Fuh.

Though it's just a feast for akad ceremony, the exhaustion was extreme. Because the food is not catered but self cooked. I think the cleaning up of plates and glasses, pots and pans and storing them away dry and clean was the most tiring. Plus it was held at night thus we worked hard to clear up everything until past midnight. The guest was estimated around 100 people but the turnout was way more. Nevertheless it was really really fun. There's warmth and laughter and I got to meet his side of the family again (a good chance to recall the names of the pakciks, makciks and cuzzies =p).

Pasangan pencuci pinggan mangkuk, periuk, talam, gelas, dulang, sudu, senduk, teko. Hehe.

She, who's reluctant with make up especially the fake eyelashes but was forced by the rest of us. Haha. I really respect Wani. I like how she is so moderate in everything. It doesn't mean she is conservative. Oh no, she is far from conservative. She's just following the rules of moderation as a muslim.

I love this picture. They look so sweet together. Congratulations to the both of you! Barakallah. May you guys have a wonderful blessed marriage throughout your life :)
