The Plan for Engagement......

My family did not manage to perform for Umrah as my mum fell ill and collapse while at work on 09 January. She had Brain Aneurysm, which means that one of her blood vessel in the brain burst. Our family was feeling at our worse because she collapse on my Grandfather's birthday and the very next day is my Dad's birthday and on that day that she collapse, my younger sis found out that she was pregnant and is waiting for Mum to end work to tell her.
She was warded in ICU for almost a month and the only thing on my mind was "will mum get to see me married?"
Everyday I prayed and doa to Allah......
 
Alhamdulillah mum survived the 8 hours long operation that she has to undergo to clip the burst blood vessel. And till now, mum is on long sick leave....
from 9 January 2013 till today, 24 December 2013......lama kan? She is progressing well and she is able to do the normal duties however she is not strong as before lah. So wherever she go, we will not let her be alone.
 
Touching part, my parents and Wak Jawa parents have never met but they actually come down to visit my mum when she was in ICU...eh.....sweet kaper!!!!! touching eh...
They also did a small kenduri and cooked the bubur merah for mum to get well soon..eh eh.....nak nangis siol!!!!!!! asal sweet sangat bakal mertua ku??!!!! Sayang sangat lah!

 
Now back to the planning....
After da masok meminang session during April, we finally decided on the date. Since me and Wak Jawa wanted in June, we all agreed on 22 June 2013, Saturday.
 
Me and Wak Jawa planned on a simple 'just sarung cincin' event. Dulang setakat 3-4 with food only. Setakat jemput ahli keluarga terdekat furthermore my mum not that well right, don wanna tire her lah.
 
A few weeks later his mum mentioned that she has bought for me kain, sejadah,telekung and etc for the dulang.........eh eh.....macam nak nikah plak..haha!!! (I can understand coz its their 1st child mah)
And when his dad says that they want to pasang mini tentage kat depan rumah and inviting guests of 200 I was like -


Yes, anjat gegirl!!!! When I told my mum about it, she was happy because that is also what she wanted, to have a majlis. Haiz, mak aku ni pon....orang tanak penat kan dia.......
I also had a talk with Wak Jawa....he said to just follow if that's what our mum wanted...
I berdegil still wanna have it my way but what Wak Jawa said really change my mind...
"Awak, remember that time when you almost lost your mum? You don't want to live with regret of not fulfilling her wish right? Mak ayah kita ni besar hati anak2 da nak membina hidup baru...biarlah kita ikut jer cakap dorang k...."
Hmmmm....ok boss!!

I already knew who I wanted to doll me up on my day so senang lah, its a close fren of mine...
dulang all DIY from my mum's best friend nyer anak...
deco pon siket2 lah use her...makan2 all will be at the void deck.....
my void deck space just a small one lah...with karaoke sponsored by my Dad's friend...melampau eh! I initially didn't want the karaoke but Dad say "kan bosan orang dudok takder music.."
ok lah Ayah.....suka hati k....haha!!

I bought some stuffs for him. He liked Abercrombie & Fitch T-shirt and cologne so I bought it for the exchange gifts.
Wak Jawa don't really like to wear ring but he wanted to have a ring for the 'tanda tunang' (merepek kan dekni) haha!! He said "saya memang tak pakai cincin tapi tunang ni saya nak pakai jadi orang tahu saya taken..." eh....tak perlu eh perangai! haha!!! He likes watches too, so tanda tunang I bought both cincin and watch :)

For me, initially I let his mum choose for me lah....but while walking around town, I fell in love with this 0.7ct solitaire ring (you know that moment when you have already fall in love on something and you fell like that is the one..its like true love) ok, jgn macam paham! And during that time, there was a great offer and it was a freaking good deal. I immediately called Wak Jawa on this and told him to ask his mum if she is ok with it, of course I will need her to come down the shop to see the ring lah....
Alhamdulillah she is ok with it as long as I liked it..yeay!!!

Now just counting down to the special day :)
