Alhamdulillah, the akad nikah and in fact the reception at both sides semuanya dah selamat, berjalan dengan lancar. The solemnization ceremony was held at my house, attended by relatives, neighbors and friends. The day before the akad nikah, I couldn’t really sleep well. Not that I’m nervous, but it’s more of the preparation for the wedding and the akad nikah ceremony that worries me much. I was finally asleep at 2.00 in the morning

9.00 a.m – Went to Pasar Besar Ipoh to buy some fresh flowers for the pelamin with my sis. We have bit of difficulties in deciding which to buy and with the constrained time period, we can’t help not to delve into conflicting opinions. Much so when we are both equally not very easy to please as at times dia rasa cantik tapi to me tak cantik, or the other way around. After some time, we decided to pick pink lilies with baby flowers and paku pakis leaves.
11.00 a.m- Reached home. Had some rest before going for make up session.
2.45 p.m – Make up session with Cindy at Makeupz. She did my hair and makeup for only RM 70.00. And I love the result! It looks pretty natural.
5.00 p.m - We are on our way back when my husband to be called. Haha..The ceremony is supposed to start at 5.00 and here we are in the car still driving back. My sis told him to stall a bit so that we arrived before them.
5.10 p.m – The rombongan of my husband’s side arrived. Thank God I managed arrived bit earlier than them.
5.15 – I was at the bilik pengantin..-blurr- Can’t feed the details cos I just don’t know what’s happening outside at the living room. My bro (Cik) came in with a snap shot of my husband to be (at that time). “Tengok, muka dia nervous tu…” he said. Speaking of which, I was also very nervous at that time. Really-really nervous. I never had that kind of feeling.
I kept holding my sis in laws hand to ease my feeling. She suggested me to recite some quranic verse. It did help to lessen the feeling. Then they called me to the living room. The nervous breakdown filled me again. Oh, God..is this even natural?
I was led by my aunt to the living room. I just couldn’t notify who’s who was there. I am just so nervous that I could not lift my head to acknowledge people. When I was seated, I noticed my mother in law to be, my grandmother behind me, my husband’s to be grandmothers.
I did not even dare to look at my husband to be, it was such tense moment for me. Really tense that I guess it was visible on my face that one of his uncle told me to relax and not to be nervous.
I was asked to read the kebenaran mengahwinkan untuk pengantin perempuan and the kadhi went on reading the khutbah nikah, It was a long khutbah nikah…too long, in fact. Then the time comes, where my dad took the kadhi place and shook my husband’s to be hand. I don’t know that he was supposed to do the solemnization ceremony himself. Cos he is not really feeling well, my dad had stoke and he always stuttered in his speaking ability. He was asked to call out my husband’s to be name and say, Aku nikahkan dikau dengan anakku …… dengan mas kahwinnya senaskhah Al-Quran, tunai…
To everybody’s surprise, he called out Azwan Ali instead of my husband’s to be name..(Still wondering where is the similarities??) I tried not to laugh. Had it not been me in the wedding dress, surely I would’ve gelak bergolek2 kat tepi..Hahaha. Tried to keep compose, but I guess the smirk was visible. My dad was corrected, but he did the same mistake. Hahaha, he must’ve really nervous than to my husband’s to be. He seems to be very composed. I guess panic or nervous is like the last vocabulary in his life.
After 2 times being corrected and my dad had it correct. My husband was ready to accept the qabul and fluently said “Aku terima nikah …………. dengan maskahwinnya senaskhah Al-Quran, tunai. I was stunt..Is that it? Was it ok? The qadhi requested him to repeat it again and corrected him to “Aku terima nikahnya, bukan aku terima nikah.” Again my dad with his ijab and my husband’s to be accepted it fluently, this time with “Aku terima nikahnya”. Both witnesses confirmed that it was valid and I am at 6.04 p.m.; changed my status as a wife. Then the sessi membatalkan air sembahyang. He took out a ring and place it at (opppss, this time he got it wrong) at my middle finger. Thank God the ring was quite big for my size that it fits. I shook and kissed his hand. He calmly kissed me in front of everybody, at which point I felt a dash of blood defying gravity shot up to my face! I sheepishly smiled.
At that moment I realized the beauty of Islam, Islam tak membebankan ummat. Procedurewise, getting married is actually not that difficult..
And to my surprise, tiba2 nervous tu dah hilang! I didn’t even realized when..Hahaha…
