A new life journey begins...

A picture by our photographer. Sorry kak, kami memang tak pandai bergaya! :-P

After the akad. Look at hubby's relieved expression! He he he. Yang, jangan marah na...

At the bridal table

With some colleagues and friends

During the akad, after merenjis. Together at last. :-)

With my kids, and my mentor, Dr. S. :-P

Note: This post is specially dedicated to my friends who live in far, far away land such as Mrs. Curmudgeon, Tengku Marini, & Mrs. Khairul who could not be there for my wedding due to 'location problems'. Also dedicated to my colleagues who are on their PhD journey overseas, and whose presence I sorely missed during my wedding, such as Kak Aini, Kak Zeti, Shafizan, Joey Rizal, Mimi Iznita & Bro. Harris. Finally, also dedicated to Wani, who could not make it at the eleventh hour due to family commitments, but nevertheless have been very supportive. :-)

I got married last week on May 10th, 2009. The akad nikah was held in Villa Felda that morning, followed by sarung cincin, merenjis ceremony and a bit of photography session. The reception started on the same day at 12.00 until 4.00 pm.

I just want to thank everyone who made the effort to be there for me, including my relatives, my friends, my students and my colleagues.

I also want to thank my family for doing so much for me, I could not have had such a beautiful ceremony if not for their time, effort and painstaking labor. Especially to my parents, for sponsoring the event and for their constant support. Especially to my siblings, Abang, Adib, Ira, little Naim and Kak Hana for being there every step of the way. Finally, to my aunts and uncles, and my cousins (including this particular cousin he he he he ;-)) for ensuring that the event went smoothly. Alhamdulillah everything went well and there were very few minor glitches.

A lot of people have asked me how I felt and how things are. To be honest, I had no idea that I would feel this peaceful and this contented. My husband is a gift to me; this responsible, funny and sweet man I am going to be with for the rest of my life and I am so happy that he is my jodoh. I look forward to this new chapter in my life and hope that everyone will pray for our happiness.

And what is a wedding without some pictures? Here are some memorable ones, just for those I dedicated this post for. ;-)
