wedding epidemic

Weirdly, for the past 2 weeks and another month or so, wedding bell, or better, "nikah" or wedding vow, were and will be relatively common. I know, it is cuti sekolah season, people take advantage of it to held such an event, yet, the weird thing is when the brides and grooms are among your friend and relatives.

Yupp, i'm completing my study, and according to others, dah 23, it's time for someone to start "something". As i can still track down, it start maybe with Wan Radziah, but her nikah was months ago. Let rephrase that, it start with Asiah,who was married, either on the raya day or day after. And after that, the epidemic suddenly spread. Soon after that, Hafizzu, out of sudden, without notice, told us, he was getting married, 4 days just before the event. Yet, he's 26.

Among the shocking ones, were, Hashimi and Firdaus. They are relatively new as an item, and their sudden and out of the blue announcement of nikah(which was today afternoon) did create some wave in the my med community. Hmm, following their footstep will be fahmi and norlida, yet, again, they were engaged.

In addition, at the epidemic is so cantagious, it spread to cause minor effect to the couples, who are in their "journey". The engagement syndrome, appreared nearly at the same time. I'm not really sure, but what i heard was, Marina with Shafie, Shikin, and banyak lagi laa...hmm

Anyway, i officially involved with one, my dear cousin, who is 2 years my senior, Nani Ariyani. At first, i thought, i was only able to attend her wedding reception on saturday, as her nikah was on friday evening. But Allah had plan it all. My Teluk Intan posting was shortened, and by thursday night, i was at my aunt's house in Serendah, "destroying" the nearly done several tray of hantaran.

I did not attend the nikah session at the mosque, i volunteered to stay at home to make sure the foods, the place was ready for the "jamuan" after the nikah session. Plus, i was relatively, "severely" sunburn, i tried to avoid wearing long sleeves.
Wedding reception, i watched Zam, our makeup artist tranforming my sweet cousin, to a fabulous so called bride, before went to Dewan to be "unofficial penyambut tetamu" cum "photographer".

And today, i was there again in her bertandang session. Hmm, alhamdulillah, allah gave me the chance to be part of my cousin big day, starting from the beginning up to the end. I'm not sure, will i be, like what happened to her brother, to be there to deliver her first baby. (i was my big cousin's bestman, and i was handling matters in the labour room when her wife gave birth, and i was the first person after her mother, to touch my so called niece). What i'm sure is, i'm so grateful to HIM, to make time for me, to be able to be there for my cousin, during her wedding "epidemic".
