Bridal shower.... two months too late?

The original title read, "Bridal shower.... one month too late?"

Apparently, I've had this in my 'draft' folder for sometime now.. not realizing that it has not been 'posted' yet! 

*facepalm* 

*****************************************************************************

It seems that most (if not all) of my GFs are already married, some with kids on tow. So it comes as no surprise that everyone was really excited when the 'youngest' in the bunch is finally tying the knot! We say 'youngest' mostly because her birthday is the last of the year (December)... and because, well because she's Drog. 

*muahs!*

I remember clearly those London days when we used to countdown to her birthday, a MONTH in advance. Yes, during our uni days. Yes, in London. She enjoyed it and we all definitely enjoyed pampering her so. Ah, don't let her looks and demeanour fool you. As her then-boyfriend-now-husband perfectly puts it..

"She's a BEAUTY with a BRAIN"

 

Yes, so smart one this girl. Despite her 'ultra' vain'ness, this is one keeper. Probably the most humble, kind-hearted and thoughtful person I've ever met. 13 years of friendship and counting (Damn I'm getting old) 

So ANYWAY, since she's getting married (NOW happily married!) pretty soon, we had a bridal shower cum birthday party to celebrate. Wonderfully organized by Azz and Jidons, it was one perfecto affair. Close college-uni-work friends came to join in the fun. The deco was perfect, prepared by EventsbyAzzwaa (Instagram acc)

Oh and of course, cake by NHomeBakes, who else? Haha. Took a bunch of photos that day. Konon nya Sha and I were the 'photographers' laaa.. haha but most of mine turned out a tad dark. Still, have not bought a proper flashgun. Still... ahaha

 

Happy Belated Birthday D'rog!!!!! Biggest congratulations on your wedding and may you have a long-lasting beautiful marriage with TONNES of smart kids (since you both so hebat!!) haha 

Love,
Natte'

p/s: Haha.. wedding photos to come yah! 

She got hitched

On 9th November 2013, my dearest cousin.. Got hitched! We're the same age and almost grew up together (minus the whole boarding school or study abroad periods). It was quite emotional although I did not cry until the reception that night. Seeing her walking down that aisle with her now husband just got to me.. Boy, she's married now!

I was busy trying to not let us both laugh during the nikah! Haha we're such a laid back 'pacat' kinda family. I'm not sure if everyone else can understand the kind of relationships we have amongst each other, aunties uncles included. Yes, respect is given when it is due.. But at the same time we all just get crazy and sakat around.

 

We always wondered who would be the lucky guy that would get her to say 'yes'. She is, well sought after by everyone. But being a well independent woman, a butterfly in her own right.. Being in a committed relationship is just not the norm. When she finally told me she was getting married. I was really interested to know who is this genius who managed to convince this girl, who has been flying around the globe (she is an Emirates cabin crew), truly independent, non-committal girl to want to move back to Malaysia and settle down.. And most importantly.. Have a 9-5 job! He is, a true magician!

The wedding as a whole is truly unique. Centered around her life in the sky.. Everything was turned into a 'flight', to be remembered. We even have our own cabin crews and pilots to welcome the bride. The emcee'ing was that close to inflight announcements, it's just superbly interesting.

The best thing? Everything was in-house. From the planning to the execution was all done by the bride, best friends and family members. No wedding planner hired.

Everyone, including this little one.. Had a blast! Apparently, I have super talented cousins who took the stage and performed.. Yeah, enough to assure Ninie (the bride) and I, that out of all our cousins.. We're probably the only ones who can't sing to save our lives. Pfft stress! All this wedding affair reminded me how I have not been spending enough time with my side of the family.. I was somehow reminiscing through out the entire wedding, good times.

Ah well, better late than never!

Xx
