CONGRATULATIONS
BUYIN AND ZUBAIR
ON YOUR MARRIAGE!!

even tho u took my projected wedding date, i'm still wishing u all the best. wahaha. finally the deed is done and u're embarking on the next chapter of yr lives... hope you will have lots of fun along this journey and make babies soon! oh, and bring me back a turkish teacup set when u go on yr honeymoon hor... wahaha.
only putting up one pic for this post, so u know where to go for the rest. business as usual.

anyways, day started pretty early on sat, came home late (or early) from simpang and then had to wake my official saree tying person up. haha. thanks kavi!! u're the best! was feeling the effects of the awesome cheese fries from the night before so put off wearing the saree for as long as possible. fortunately my stomach behaved itself and i wasn't inconvenienced. haha. left at around 10.30am with kavi and my sis for the nikah happening at the cc.

the tuk kadi who married them was the same guy who did my bro, and my parents too. he's a veteran in the field i tell ya. so funny also! it didn't take too long, and was entertaining. after that we had lunch, and sat around waiting for guests to arrive. so pretty much tangkap jambu lah. haha. cannot do much work mah, wearing saree. wonder how those people go around dancing and running in saree. takes skills man. had to limit water intake cos can't really pee. haha. sighs. i know, why do i do this to myself... cos i look freaking good in it dammit!

so i was holding the bride's bouquet for her, waiting for them to arrive at 2ish. they looked gorgeous, obviously. there wasn't any kompang, had bangra dance instead and it was awesome! hahaha. so damn cool lah. took some vids of it, even caught the bride and groom joining in. so fun. it wasn't too loud or too long like kompangs usually are so that was good. so entertaining!

we left at about 4 to go home and change for the dinner. managed to squeeze in a quick shower too. redid makeup, accessories, etc etc then headed back to the venue. a bit kecoh lah cos the bridesmaids were late, and guests were arriving ready but guestbook wasn't there, there were boxes of berkat everywhere, etc etc. managed to get everything sorted out and then found out 2 of the groomsmen hadn't arrived yet. doh. went searching for them, then briefed them on what to do. basically stand there and look handsome, and take the lead from the bridesmaids cos they know what to do. haha. the flower girls and boys were damn cute lor! girls dressed like fairies complete with wings and wands... can die.

soon it was showtime, so the bridesmaids donned their masks and took their places. got volunteers to blow bubbles along the red carpet as the bride and groom walked in. then the walk started. bestman and myself led the group, followed by the 6 couples, then the fairies and their pageboys, then bride and groom. i must say it looked pretty good. haha. if u're wondering why there were sooo many of us, it's cos there r supposed to be 7 couples, to represent 070707. geddit geddit?

bride's sisters read the wedding speech on stage and they ended up in tears halfway, which of cos made the bride and groom cry as well. so touching... this just shows that no matter how good a speech u write, the way u deliver it matters even more. then there was the dinner and cake cutting and mingling with the guests... all in all a pretty tiring but fulfilling day.

ok lah right now i should actually get off my arse and stop sitting in front of the comp. talk about a lazy sunday mans. will try to get some chores done. haha.

the sheep entered the lion's den, and came out alive. well done.
