The Color Purple: My Brother's Wedding

This is a long post about my brother's wedding. :D
My brother got married last Sunday 10-10-10 at 10 am (the reception).. wow what a combo! :D

It was a traditional wedding. I love traditional weddings, with all the steps and rituals and everything they symbolize.. I was happy when I was the bride myself, and happy when attending one.

Dimulai dengan Pengajian dan Siraman di hari Sabtu-nya, kami nyaris patah hati karena.. banjiiir!! But the show must go on. Untungnya, air ga sampai masuk ke dalam rumah, cuma sampai halaman.. jadi seluruh acara masih bisa dilaksanakan. Terima kasih sekali buat para ibu2 pengajian dan tetangga2 yang bersedia "menyeberangi lautan" demi menghadiri acara :D

Sebagai saudara pengantin, me & hubby sibuk bgt sejak H-3.. tapi.. pas hari H di acara resepsinyaa sy hanya punya satu tugas; MAKAAAAN..!! :D Saat menjadi pengantin, kita adalah bagian dari acara, mungkin nyaris ga sempat makan. Saat menjadi tamu undangan, kita hanya menghadiri acara paling lama setengah jam, paling banyak satu piring buffet & satu jenis gubukan. Tapi klo jadi saudara kandung, we need to be there from start to finish, which means.. more time to eat! Itu pertama kalinya sy makan nyaris 10 jenis makanan-minuman dalam satu acara.. Batasannya cuma saat sy udah ga bisa jalan lg karena kekenyangan.. LOL

Selain upacara adat Jawa (Panggih) dan Batak (Mangulosi), acara yang paling sy sukai adalah Pedang Pora. I must say it was uber COOL..!!

Congratz to you both! Semoga menjadi keluarga sakinah, mawaddah wa rohmah.. Amiin..
