Registering Our Muslim Matrimonial

And so now its official. The guessings and the plannings and the confusions of the date-settings has come to an end.

And now comes the jitters, the cold-feet, the butterflies in the stomach, the anticipation, the anxiety, the happiness, the sadness......anything and every emotions, all rolled into one.

And we hereby declare that our solemnisation date will be 190108. This will be a small occasion involving family members and very close relatives and friends. Customary will only be done at a later date, when my father can come and join us.

In about a month's time. One month. Sheesh...

It's like a wonderful dream. It's really happening ain't it?

Is it necessary for a good date/month for Nikah?

And this has been bothering us for awhile....

Cos my side prefers a good day and a good month for this auspicious occasion. But his side has pointed out that a nikah is an auspicious event on its own and there is no need for a good date/month. A good thing like nikah needs to be carried out, favourably, as soon as possible.

Being us, we're confused. And being us, we do not want to disagree with any sides. So its our call. and we have to do our own research.....

And i came across this article.

http://ibnayyub.wordpress.com/2007/07/01/the-need-for-simple-weddings/

And with his words i quote;

"When someone intends to perform two Rakats of Salat then must he print posters and send everyone cards asking them to assemble in the Jame Masjid before performing the two Rakats?"

Cos....Nikah is an ibadah. Which need not be told to the whole world when we want to complete and ibadah.

Which I/We conclude, that yes, we will Nikah soon, regardless of date/month. And only the neccessary people will be there to be my/our witnesses as required in our Hadith.

But cultures and customs will not be forgotten, and a walimah will be done for family and friends at a later date. Walimah's date has been set. Nikah's date has not...

Stay tuned.....!!

To Rent or to Tailor? The verdict....

We thank you all (or some)for your valuable input whether in this board, or verbally.
And with all your comments, we have decided.

So yesterday, 09th dec 07, we have officially tailored our solemnisation costume. Its' beautiful and my future hubby n in laws loved it so much! Mom n dad in-law have decided to tailor for himself and Faizal too for Raya!

More or less, our shopping for the exchanging of gifts is nearly done. Loved what we bought for each other. Practical and useful.

Thank you!!

And do still stay tune.....!

The Prep Course

And the day came....

02 Dec 2007

We met Ustaz Syed Esa. We loved how he touch on marriage subjects. On how he tries to reach out to us but not forgetting tht we came from another era. He has aged, but he keeps in touch with the modern times, the thigns he teach, we can apply. He is not boring, very funny, comical and very entertaining. Our course is a crash one, short and sweet. And marriage is a learnign process, so he kept our session short and simple...but we can come back for more when he conducts other sessions, touching on more elaborate subjects.

But the highlight of the day is......we finally got our cert!!! WOW!! We are so many steps closer to becoming the REAL thing!! Im scared cos i know my priorities will change but nevertheless, we are excited!!

Anyways, if you are interested to study under Ustaz Syed, contact me to get his contact details.
Trust me. He is good. And then you will appreciate Islam, not as a religion, but as The Way of Life.

Stay tuned........

This is mine!!

This is His!!

Our tired faces. Early morning course, back home to go jemputan then finally....ice-cream at swensens!! woot!

25th November 2007....A new Chapter

The day has finally come. This day, his side is suppose to come to ask for my hand in marriage to give me a tanda (ring). Everything was smooth and turn out be go pretty well. But shocker after shocker....i got big shocker news on the day that i am supposedly engaged!

Yes. It was suppose to be a small ceremony. But hey, my family (some) cant help it but to come. Im still the first cucu u know....

Mama, bibik, daya n my sayang brother, hakim. Bibik has absolutely no clue on whats happening on tht day.
Im so jealous. PsP is so useful at times where u gotta wait n tv is of no help at all. Not shy, i asked mom for one!! haha

Yes kids, look up and smile at your sis.

I never combed my hair. Cik ana ter-comb. Heh. Looky at the shocky!

Cil Lili. My man of the day. To officiate my ceremony. He still has no clue of the call that i just got from Fazli. And here i am ready to give him the shocker....
But before that....Chicken!!
The wait is over. His 2 atuks n nenek finally came.....

The women are listening intensely on what his side has got to say. Im lucky they are such fun. Cos my side is kan-cheong. I am in the room, prying my ears....

"Jadi kami nak mintak...kalau boleh......."

"mintak apa......."

"Terima lamaran kami?"

With all the buzz and the shocker, i managed to thumbs up and smile!

That's the one! My tanda. And now i have my very own Destinee Diamond! Woot!

Nak sarung nie...

"Muat ke...."

And with a sigh of relief...i smiled.....

And i understand how my mom feels. Plus my only nenek left in the middle, nenek Lamah....and my future nenek...also Nenek Lamah..

And even if i cant fulfil my arwah grandma's wish, i will try fulfill my nenek Lamah's wish. And with full of pride and happiness, she hugged me and gave me my first kiss of rahmat on my forehead.

And here they are, my funny future atuks! Who made my day!

My atuks with my man of the day, Cik Lili, who helped officiated my ceremony. My "Father".

And thats Shereen, with her daughter Lisha...

Bibik not shcoked anymore. With daya. The apple of my eye, Hakim..

My cousins. These are not even half of them. And somehow, they never stopped staring at me. Yes kids! Finally Kak yan is getting Hitched!

YUp. Gotta show of my ring Omega (The watch) style!

U cant see but its a bling alright..

Cik ana was sweet to order 2 cakes; One for me and one for Fazli's side. Hmmm salah to nama Fazli....hehehe

The whole ceremony has ended, but Lisha is the most tired being!

My adik sayang with his psp non stop.

And there's me....tired and all...happy nonetheless

And yes people, im still tryna get over the shocker....

What's the shocker? I donno if i should be saying anything now....All i want is to reminisce yesterday's highlights, and to post more pics from my uncle's cam (All the above is courtesy of my hp)

Stay tuned......

About Us

About Diana

Diana is a very independant girl. Stubborn & hard-headed and wishes always things will go her away. Now she need not wish for that anymore cos yes, things are going her way and a softie she became when Fazli walked into her life....

About Fazli

Fazli is the boy-next-door type with amazing looks. A head-turner but he is such a homeboy, it surprises Diana. His dedication to his family and work and now his wife-to-be, is amazing. The kind any girl wont let go once grabbed.

When Fazli met Diana...

Let's cut the long (and complicated story)short. They both met in the net and became msn buddies. She is there for him when he needs to rant and whine on the phone and he is there for her when she was down and out. Things kinda picked up after a freak accident that happend to her and well, from best buds...now they are inseparable!

The day we went to Buy Buy Ring Ring

Saturday.....10th Nov 2007We were both just chilling at home. Had a tiring day of doing my loads of laundry in our NEW washing machine!!! Samsung Samsung!

And that day in history, i got my shining star!
