My sister got hitched!

Last weekend was significant. My sister got married. It was a 3-day-3-night event and it was an awesome and cool wedding. It started off with Friday night whereby they were solemnized. When Fariq's entourage came and my sister came out from her room, I couldn't recognize her. She looked different and pretty. Honestly, I teared a little when she came out. Soon after the Tok Kadi came and I remember I stood behind my sister feeling all the jitters. Alhamdulillah, all went well and they were solemnized.
Thanks girls for coming. I appreciate it lots.
Waiting patiently.
Confirming the details.
The akad nikah
My gorgeous sister who just got married.
Yay!
And so it was end of day 1 and I was feeling so tired already.
On Saturday, was supposed to wake up early to run errands still but couldn't. In the end I got ready kinda late. When Huda and Azrika came, I was still not ready yet. Anyway, Saturday was the sanding and it was busy yet fun. Most of my friends came and I did not take a single picture with them. Yes I was an idiot like that. Pfft! The best part of this day was all the different kinds of "ERP" the guys' side had to go through. Too bad Naz and Ilah came down late, if not we would have made a good "ERP". Hahah. Apart from all those, there were other good surprises as well.
"Tak cukoooooooop!!!"
Finally..
I like this picture.
And this too..
I think Fariq sabo-ed him to do this. It was hilarious.
And the friends sabo-ed Fariq and my sister to dance.
At about 4pm we went over to the guys side at Pasir Ris. Lucky I refused to drive cos I would feel tired for sure. Over at Pasir Ris, Fariq sang for my sister and they had to dance. It was so funny. On a more touching note, they expressed their love for each other which made me teared a little. Heh. Went back to Jurong West and at this time I swear, I just want to knock out.
Our relatives from across the border.
The dayang-dayang plus Naufal Danish.
Back at Jurong West with the 2nd outfit. Again, with the dayang-dayang. Heh.
With our 2nd cousins.
2 down, 1 more day to go.
Sunday was the best of all eventhough there was some glitch here and there. It was held at Raffles Marina and to hold a wedding there, it's so beautiful. Everyone came in their cocktail best. Girls with their dresses and guys in their suits. It was all glitz and glamour including the makciks. And to add to the glitz and glamour, the couple together with the bridesmaid and best men came in a boat. It was the coolest thing. Plus, the guys including the groom had their shades on. Haha, just what I've imagined a year ago when we were planning the wedding.
Actually, the reception should be held outdoors. Kinda like a garden wedding theme but the weather didn't permit us to hold it outdoors. Everywhere near Tuas was raining but the rain didn't even reach Tuas. Pfft! We had no choice but to go to the ballroom. But it was still good anyways. Over at the ballroom, the couple had a rockstar march in. They marched in to Starlight by Muse. See, another cool thing. Heh.
I think my sister was rocking out to starlight.
I'm so loving this picture.
We rocked too!
I totally kicked ass. Hahah
All the single ladies wanting to catch the bouquet.
In fact, I have videos too but too lazy to upload them here. Go to my facebook for the videos and more pictures.
Overall, it was the best wedding. I didn't run errands for nothing and the tiredness I felt really pays off. In the end, I got a brother-in-law which is an another cool thing. I spend quite alot on grooming myself in preparation to the wedding. From the accessories, to the haircut, the outfit, shoes and make-up. Despite having eyebags and menses I still managed to look alright and I think I did a good job running around in my 5.5 inches heels. It was no easy task chasing the boys and going up and down the stairs in those heels. The fun part about this wedding was the endless photos we took be it formal or candid. But most of it was candid and again, it was cool.
To my sister and Fariq, congratulations on finding each other. You guys made me see what true love is and I'm very happy for you guys. Hope ya'll have a blissful marriage that will last forever. Insya'Allah.
XOXO
