i attended my cousin’s (the bride) wedding last sat. and because i brought a camera, and therefore had to sit real close to the pengantins to take their pics, i kinda felt a strong blow of mixed emotions from the pair during the akad nikah moment. when the bride and groom were getting ready, listening to tok kadi bebual non-stop (you know la tok kadi yg senior-senior would bebual-bual to relax the groom), i could feel the butterflies in their stomachs. i could feel their excitement and nerves.
i was nervous la. seriously. orang lain yang nak kahwin, org lain yg nervous. (other ppl getting married, someone else gets nervous) my hands were cold and i could feel my head feeling light. i almost crackup a wee bit.
then after the whole ceremony ended, we made our way to the reception canopy and waited for lunch. while i stoned ( i woke up at 5.30am okay!) i suddenly envisioned myself on my own wedding day.
firstly u wont see fanciful henna drawings on my hands cos i cant stand those things. secondly i’d be drinking lots of water so i have a reason later on to excuse myself to the washroom anytime.
thirdly i’d puposely take forever to dress up cos i think i still wont be ready for that day on that day. i bet i’d be so bloody anxious cos im such a nervous wreck. you can just imagine me saying “oh noo.. i rasa i tak jadi kahwin!” (oh no, i think i dont want to get married already!) just when the groom enters my house and sits on the songket cushion thingy.
so really. if there’s any future husband reading this, be ready for such nonsense on our wedding day okay. HAHAHHA.
