The 30th September
We love 15 so much that we decided to have the Lipis
reception 15 days after our nikah day. So, on the 29th September,
the first 2 cars – Triton with ambok umi and cik dalek – City with Ica zahdah and
yours truly, started the journey to Bibik’s house in Bangi. My husband was from
Kuantan, so we decided just to meet there in Bangi. Before slept, Radiah
managed to put on some henna on my hands. Anyway, next morning, we were all set to Kuala Lipis for
the first time except for my husband of course. We led the convoy and we had to
drive very slowly as there were 5 cars altogether.
Again, I hate the nervous feeling
and I tell you what, this time was even worse. Haha. I know I should not feel
this way but even my 2-weeks-old-husband can read it straight away from my
face. He asked me to chill and relax as this time, the people would not be as
many as our first reception.
Honestly, I was nervous as I would be meeting all
his family members and relatives. As a person who likes to think about useless
things so much, that was quite scary. Plus, I would be left alone by my family
here in Lipis. Sob sob. Since I went home in 2008, I was always stuck with
them, but now, I would be here without them. Can you see how mengada I am?
However, Alhamdulillah, the warm welcome of the husband’s
family, which is now my family too, changed everything. We went to the hall at
1 and again, I still did not eat. Haha. Now I felt how rugi I was not to eat all
those special made food for bride and groom. We did not have the bersanding
ceremony here so it was a quick reception. Around 2 plus, my family members
were ready to go back. Well, I did not feel sad as what I had thought. Haha.
After sending them off, we continued to entertain the guests.
Again, thank you
so much for those who were there on our second reception.
Around 3 plus, the reception was officially over. Here came
the most anticipating part – the outdoor photography session. We did not have
our outdoor session in Johor due to time consuming, so Alhamdulillah we got
slightly longer time for that here in Lipis.
Firstly, we were brought to a
railway. I would say the view is spectacular. I did not know that I still feel
shy to look at my husband’s eyes when we were told to do so by the 2
photographers, Fadhli and Afrozaini. Haha.
Suddenly my husband came out with kinda crazy idea, that was
taking pictures in the middle of the Kuala Lipis town. I did not mind as I was
very sure the locals did not know me so yeah I agreed. We took photo at the
stone that I really like (the Kuala Lipis 0 km stone) . We also got a perfect
picture in the middle of the road, which was taken in less than 10 second. We
had to wait for the road to be cleared from any cars, so yeah, I had to run a bit with my heels and
gown. Nevertheless, we had so much fun!
The best part was when the locals keep
saying hye and waving their hands, wishing us congratulations even they did not
even know us. One Indian uncle also told my husband to take care of me very
well and we were touched by that. See, more people are praying for us!
Alhamdullillah. Taking pictures in the middle of the town was not a bad idea at
all, my dear husband! I extremely love it =)
We went home around 6 plus. For the first time, we had our
dinner together that night. All of us were there. Abah, Mak, Along, Kaklong,
Abede, Ateh, Adik and of course Damia. Abah kinda gave a short and sweet speech
welcoming me to the family and asked Abede to recite doa. I really, really feel
blessed and grateful at that very moment. Alhamdulillah and I could not thank
more.
Welcome to the Wan Zainudin’s family, Kak Ngah! =D
