hello guys!!!!
Wow, I really miss typing in the MFA column. It had been such a long time since I barely write anything. Well, let's cut to the chase. I 've been dying to finish my story and start a new one. Honestly, I'm tired of telling about the wedding ceremony. Well, here goes.
So, after all of us had been kicked out from the bride's room, we went downstairs and waited anxiously for the groom to arrive. My baju kurung was sweatier and smellier than ever that I had to use my mom's cologne all over my stinky body. Relatives from every corner of Malaysia came to fit inside in one small living room.
Just then, the kompangs were heard and its getting louder and louder. At last, the groom was here. He wasn't a very good-looking guy but what the heck. If the girl love him, that is considered fate, my friend. Well anyway, the tok kadi is with him too and the bride was ready at last. She was the centre of attention. Her white with gold laces baju pengantin was simply a beautiful touch for that evening. Her cream selendang that covered her black hair with a small crown on top of it made her look like a matured young lady. I can see from the groom's shining eyes that said, " I'm the luckiest man alive." Without wasting anymore time, the ceremony begun. The tok kadi asked him certain important questions to the groom those related to the religion. If you want to know,this is to make sure that the man was worthy enough to be a woman's husband and the leader of the house. As a husband-to-be, he must prove himself to be worthy as a religious man who can lead his wife and family to a life according to the Islamic principals. He must recite some of the holy words from the Quran confidently according to the tok kadi's requests. In his case however, he was so nervous that he stammered almost every word he said including the basic ones. Fortunately, he got through. With both of the families' agreements and blessings, the beautiful couple tied the knot that evening. Everyone cheered for them and wished them long-lasting happiness. Then all of us went to the buffet table and enjoyed ourselves with a plate of nice nasi kandar.
Well, that's the end of it. Hope you guys enjoyed it. Here's a picture I took during the wedding on the next day. Isn't the bride pretty with her prince charming?
Bye now!!! Hope I have the time to post a new one.
