The Wedding Part 2

and here it is... The Majlis / Lunch Reception

 

So arriving at SPGG, we both headed to the meeting room provided for us to change to our nikah outfits. We had a quick bite and drinks before headed out for Hadang.
 

Usually hadang is held when a couple have separate receptions, the groom and entourage will be coming down to the bride's. There will be  number of "gates" he gotta pass through before he can see the bride. We both wanted the hadang tradition and went on with it for our reception. Actually bukan leceh sangat pun.... it's just a matter of timing so guests won't "catch" us before the hadang.

Groom getting ready with the help of bestmen.... hahaha NOT! ni posing untuk gambar je. The one who helped making the "bunga" for the songket is Abg Khai (our photographer). hahahaha

HEHE. ni semua sempat je....

Walking down the aisle.... the feeling... gementar habis. hahah

Abang2 dah ready lah nak tempuh hadang....

The Final Gate

Both families unite. 

First, I gotta say that the deco was FAB! It is what I wanted and I was amazed at how beautiful it is. Well done Comel Molek.

The Hadangs were hilarious. First was my younger cousins, kena ketuk mintak duit. Then off to the next one with my cousin & aunt - lawn pantun, in the end the guys kalah and kena denda joget. Hahahah! Gotta see the video, kekek gila. Then moving on to the third one with my male cousins where he gotta sing before the can pass through. BEST lah macam ni. And out of all the songs he knew, he choose to sing my fav song! Haisss.. merdu lah suara you.... *insert shy mentel face* suka suka suka. Last hadang was with my bridesmaids where he was bombarded with questions. hahaha..

Oh oh, can I just say that WE LOVE LOVE the Kompang. My husband keep on saying, "bagus kan dorang". I couldn't agree more. We were both grinning at how good they are and trying to make our muka maintain face throughout. Akrab Kompang is the best!

So after all the hadangs and kompang performance, it was time to salam-salam the parents and photo taking session. Right after that, I start to feel hungry and YAY! Time to makan. but hey... not so fast k. you still gotta pose for pics when you're eating. Like this....

alalalalala..... sweet nye couple ni. HAHAHA... 

So when all the photo taking / video taking is done, it is really time to makan! we gotta be fast coz we still gotta change to our last outfit. The food.... is so damn good! At that time I wished I was the guest so I can stuff myself with all the good food! Comel Molek, you did it again.

 

& finally the last one with our final outfit. Mr. Farhan, you're looking so damn fine. I instantly melt seeing him wear like that. That was his first and I'm glad that he's brave enough to do it. So proud, so proud. 

Cake cutting time with my own baked wedding cake! YAY! I can't believe that I made my own wedding cake! 3 tiers with all different flavours! 

Bottom tier - Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache.
Second tier - Coconut Cake with Cream Cheese frosting.
Top tier - Red Velvet with Cream Cheese frosting.

The nerve wrecking part is the transportation of the cake coz I was not there! I had to put my trust on my sisters and cousins and bridesmaids for that. Do you know how nervous I am? There was a slight mishap but it was covered, thankfully I had buttercreams and other tools prepared just in case. Since I can't be there to decorate the table, I asked my aunt (she's a baker too) for help. Cantik kan cake ku... HEHEHE. 

Cake cutting done, photo taking done, video done and time to close the reception! Finally! 

Towards the end of the day, we're both so damn tired with all the smiling and posing. We're like "Bila nak habis ni?" HAHAHA perangai. PENAT k. Really. 

 

But putting that aside, we enjoyed every single moment throughout the whole day. We couldn't be happier surrounded with our loves ones, our best friends and relatives and our guests. 

 

And taking this opportunity we both would like to thank every one who made it possible for our wedding to happen, not forgetting those who came to make it more lively. We're both grateful with all the help we got from both our families. To our vendors, thank you for making it the wedding we both had always wanted.

Thank you Uncle Lan for making my dream came true. I didn't give specific instructions on how I want the deco to be, just colours and ideas and it came out fab! The food was absolutely delicious and so many of our relatives and guests compliments it.
