Mom made the announcement about my engagement masa hari raya pertama to all my extended family members. Oiiiii berdebarnya rasa masa mom announce.
Habis teruk Ayu diinterview all. Uish. Seram sungguh.
Usai raya all...kami mula merangka persiapan. Yup, masa sangat pendek.
1st things first.
Senarai dulang hantaran.
Yup. Kami berdua decide on hantaran listing dahulu.
Kami bersetuju untuk 5 dulang from him berbalas 7 dulang from me.
Dah decide on that, makanya masing-masing pandai-pandailah curi masa mencari all. Decos and hantaran do 100% MSN serah pada saya. Ok, no problemo! :)
We couldn't thanked our immediate family enough in supporting us all the way. My mom, his mom, my sis, my BIL, his sisters, his BIL, his bro and our lovely nephews and niece.
May ALLAH grant them Jannah for their good heart. Amin.
Memang macam biasa lah, perihal pertunangan ni, memang family perempuan yang kena buat kerja lebih. But Alhamdulillah syukur sangat.. MSN sangat banyak membantu as well.
Number one, theme color.
Setelah berfikir masak-masak, I decided to have a baby yellow engagement theme.
I want my immediate family to wear pure yellow and me wearing baby yellow.
As for hantaran, MSN's sister is sponsoring a whole set of the silver trays for me. So, I just need to decide on the gubahan that suites the trays. As for me to him, since that he loves the color blue, I am planning a tiffany blue themed hantaran for him.
Baby Yellow - Yellow - Silver - Tiffany Blue.
My sis asked me more than twice about the color that I want them to wear. Yup, yellow is indeed a bold color kan? Jadinya dia memang seriau lah dengan pemilihan warna. But I am very confident and confirm about it.
So, let's Jakel.
My sis managed to find a matching pair yellow kurung for her and lilD and a matching pair baju melayu for BIL and bigD.
Tapi dalam picture ni nampak macam orangy pulak kan? It is not tau. Memang kuning.
Masa dekat Jakel memilih kain untuk buat baju tunang and also memilih kain nikah for both of us.. OMG.. Ayu seriau risau segala.
Sejujurnya saya tak pernah spent untuk harga kain macam tu. Gulp gulp.
But lucky me, my sis is around. She convinved me and said.. Kalau hari biasa ni Ayu memang jenis simple.. Takkan lah on your special day you nak simple sesangat pulak. Kita less is more still but tak salah berhabis. Nanti kan boleh pakai balik.
*baiklah*
Dapat je kain, terus call our family tailor suruh datang rumah.
Terus mintak tolong sekali dia carikan kain and buatkan baju for mom as well. Sebab my sis and her family dah beli siap kan?
And hantar mine.
Settle.
Few days before raya, we scouted one simple yet into the theme baju melayu johor for MSN.
So, everyone...done!
Now, tinggal persiapan keseluruhan oleh pihak saya.
Alhamdulillah sangat Allah kurniakan saya abang ipar dan kakak yang serba boleh. Syukur!
Segalanya memang tergolek terlentang mengadap my sis and BIL.
Part kata putus je, baru we all mengadap mom.
Pendapat layout, kedudukan khemah, perihal catering, what me and MSN wants, menu makan, design baju, makeup all.. semuanya tulang belakang saya ialah my sis and BIL.
Mom bukan tulang belakang dah. Itu kategori nyawa dah tu.
My sis and BIL lah yang mengatur aturcara majlis all.. Siap dengan meeting ringkas with family members semua. Ya Allah TQ so so much for this blessings..
Now, the hantarans.
Mana yang beli asing, especially on MSN side memang Ayu tak de picture. Nanti entry bertunang tu, ada lah full picture ok?
Mak saya ni memang orang lama sikit. Jadinya to her bertunang ni mesti ada benda manis-manis. So for hantaran or desserts (masa ni kami belum decide yet) kami macam biasa mengadap MakTun. MakTun memang pakar la hal-hal manisan ni.
Tengok mom macam mandor on the right tu hah.
Masa ni tengah decide size pattern all.
Saya angguk-angguk bawak kuar duit jer. Yang lain, ikut suka mom lah.
Mana pernah plan semua ni. So memang ikut je flow.
Allah knows best.
Mulanya Ayu cakap pada MSN kita kurangkan lah dulang. Tak sempat nak bekejar semua all again. MSN cakap, kita went through semua ni sekali je seumur hidup kita. This is our dream... Kita cuba sehabis baik untuk realisasikan.. Kalau kita dah usaha but tak dapat jugak, then kita redha bukan rezeki kita nak buat macam mana yang kita mahukan.
Alhamdulillah, kesemua yang dihajati dapat ditunaikan. Syukur. TQ Allah.
Delicious hantaran cake from no other MamaChak's Bakery.
Mom call kaki yang dia ada from Kelantan for this agar-agar gula batu. Ayu panggil agar-agar kaca. Bila potong alohaiiii macam kristal.
Edible crystal. Hiks.
I only bought the bekas to fill this in and gubah sikit-sikit.
Dah siap put aside. Sebab dia memang tahan.
Also for him.
At first, I thought nak belikan chocolate for him. Either Godiva or Patchi.
Sekali my aunty from Ipoh called kata nak sponsor sedulang hantaran. Manisan.
Pujuk punya pujuk barulah my cousin tu inform apakah jenis manisannya...
Taraaaa...
It's fruit and blueberry cheese tarts.
Punyalah jaga hantaran yang satu ni.. sebab dia sangat fragile dan memerlukan peti ais untuk disimpan.
Hehe.. Alhamdulillah selamat sejahtera segalanya.
We all decide 4 barang bukan makanan from each other.
The remaining memang food.
So, peresenting my only food item from him..
Percayalah... cuppies ni semuanya sedap nak mam!!!
Berebut rebut kami sekeluarga ok. yelah, benda lain derang tak boleh rebut..Semuanya hak milik mutlak saya..
*hiks*
Amik baju from dobi... jangan lupaa....
And finally his hantaran spectacles.
Oiii payahnya mamat ni decide...
geram je Ayu tau..
bak kata MSN, selalu senang jer.. but sebab untuk hantaran dia rasa special sangat.. so sorry lah if dia mengambil masa extra lama memilih.
Dah la tu.. asyik la pegang yang melampau mahalnya.. Ayu dah terjegil-jegil dah biji mata.. Bila dia pakai tanya OK or not.. cepat-cepat je jawab TAK OK. Muakakakaka..
Alhamdulillah, we managed to get everything in order betul-betul sehari sebelum majlis. Yup. Segalanya sehingga ke titisan terakhir.
Alhamdulillah..
Malam tu...
Ayu sangat merindui my nenek. I wished she's still with us to share my happy moments. But I know she is up there watching me.
Tidur berpelukkan ini...mengalahkan orang nak menikah.
Sobs.
Love, Ayu
