#zurjonWeds - The Wedding Event (part 1)

For the final outfit, Jhon wore his cream Filipino Barong Tagalog while I wore my cream gown to match.

Dann's Entertainment played our requested song of Minamahal Kita by Paroyka Ni Edgar. We had someone told the DJ so as soon as before we passed the arch, they announced us and played the music.

We straight away went to our wedding cake for cake cutting. Our DJs called out to everyone to gather around the cake and we commenced.

Since everyone was already up front, we also did our thank you speeches. I was supposed to say first and then Jhon but I panicked and let him go first instead. He was also kanciong abit so his speech was a little terabuh. haha

This is also the last moment we cried, thanks to me. Seriously, my speech wasn't not that empowering or touching lah, but I think everyone knows and felt my sincerity. What was 'funny' was that as I cried, everyone was crying or teary eyed too! I was telling Jhon my speech was so good, can become president. hahaha

I'm not going to post my crying face because it's ugly. More ugly than my too happy, gusi/gigi terkeluar. huehuehue

The DJ's and then asked us questions such as where, how we met and what we felt. It was hilarious. Now everyone knows that the first time Jhon saw me was on my first day at work in the office and he felt butterflies and all that jazz. As for me, I felt NOTHING. hahahaha

More photo taking afterwards.

I requested for us to take photos of all these kids but Jayden and Irfan was cranky. That's why Loi and Kakak got into the picture.

We had our standard big family photo and that's why it got really funny. The DJ played Tukur Tukur from the movie Dilwale and everything went crazy. You can see a video on the post where I reviewed Dann's Entertainment but here are the photos.

After the dancing and more phototaking, we did our final round around the area. We personally went to the guests table, said hello, our thank yous and selfies. I know we probably salam the same people so many times but the elders love and appreciated it because we did it the 'proper' way.

Jhon's idea to take pictures of the vendors because he appreciates them that much.

In this picture, Fad from VideoSmith, Cik Normie & Pakcik Amrie from Nurie Creations, Abg Hamdan & wife from Dann's Entertainment, Mr Lim from Invogue Photography and Kak Dee from Versari Ade. I basically had reviewed every vendor and even tok kadi except for Videosmith because we still haven't receive our wedding video which is understandable.

And that's about it. Our wedding with my best memory of it. Sure, there are a little imperfections here and there but we've let it go. One thing for sure, we had a great time and the emotional rollercoaster was definitely something to talk about.

I wish I can more wordy and descriptive about my feelings but this is just how I am. All those other memories and feelings will always and forever be kept in my heart. Thank you everyone who has been with our wedding journey since day one and that includes all my readers.

Thank you for all your doa, well wishes and compliments. If there is any topic you want me to cover, feel free to drop a comment or email and I will try my best to share information and my thoughts.

Our solemnisation only took 2 hours but it felt so many things had happened. It can be flustering but I was excited for the second part of the wedding, the bertadang. Granted, our wedding location was at one place but I made Jhon walk from a carpark nearby so we have that feeling of bertadang and kompang. I also can't wait to see our 2 favourite uncles, Uncle & Pak Hitam being the guards as they always do at every wedding.

Just 15 minutes passed our schedule, I went down with Kak Yana by my side.

Don't know how many minutes later, Jhon went down with Abg to the nearest carpark where his rombongan and Kompang Al-Falah waited. Initially, we had expected a certain family to follow Jhon's walk but for some circumstances, we technically had no one. Luckily, Jhon's colleagues (some of which are my ex-colleagues) where around. I made Fizah talk to Kak Yati and she helped gathered them to participate.

I thought maybe a few will follow.
But it was more than a crowd!

Jhon's family was also by his side and it was so amazing lah, to see so many people are so sporting & supportive especially at the last minute. Terharu!

Our favourite gantry duo, Uncle and Pak Hitam was separated for the first time in wedding history but it was okay! It was one of the moments were truly looking forward to.

I had been planning to give Filipino Pesos in the money envelope for the longest time. Just to put a touch of his nationality and for a laughs. It worked! Kecoh sey.

From here onwards, Malay Traditions ensues.
My mom along with other aunties threw bertih (popcorn), rice and money. I love the joy on Jhon's face but look at the floor, the kids scrambling for S$0.50 and S$1 coins.

Honestly, when Paman were talking to us, Kak Dee and I didn't understand at all. So we both just smiled and nodded. hahaha In the end, they just passed the duit mak andam. Jhon and I got to see each other for the first time in full garb.

As we sat down, Kompang Al-Falah got ready for any silat performances. As expected, none except for Syazan performed as requested. My family doesn't do silat, even the asal boleh kind. One volunteered from the group and the group proceeded with their performance.

We loved it!

After that, we were supposed to do a family salaman but Jhon's friends requested to take photos first because they wanted to go off. We said okay. But 1 group became 3 became all of his friends and I panicked! They are messing up the timeline and I worried Mak would get upset. She did asked me but luckily she let it go.

Eventually, we did salam our family. Since my parents can't be left alone on the the stage, the rest of my family had to be on the stage too. It was again, chaotic. Partners were not standing next to each other so the salam was all messy. Not ideal but it truly represents my family lah, messy. haha
