Our first wedding anniversary

Wedding Clip of Amirah & Raihan from amirah on Vimeo.

A year ago today is our first wedding anniversary. I am blessed to be sharing my life with the man I truly love and I hardly believe how time flies real fast. Feels like it was just yesterday that we were officially a husband and wife, and that we just had our 3rd honeymoon in a year.

My husband, he is my best friend, my sweetheart, my strength, my inspiration, my everything, and a person whom I can'i live without. I thank Allah for this wonderful man.

Marriage is the best thing ever that Allah swt grants us to be in a halal relationship between a man and a woman, and it is not only in good times. we encountered bad days too, however, knowing my responsibilities as a wife in Islam and the respect that my husband deserves, and he on the other hand knows his role as a husband and the love he has for me, we will avoid dragging the matter prolonged.

Everyday we are discovering new things between our self and our spouse, thus, avoid loathing or complaining over things as in the Quran commands to be kind towards each other even if you dislike something about them, it may be something that Allah has placed good for you.

My husband understands me, and he has the most patience I could ever need in handling myself. -_-"

He has always been there for me, therefore, I would wanna be forever by his side in good or worse.

This year is a tough year for the both of us. I used to cringe over the thought of him being away even for a night. Nevertheless, my husband will always be closer at heart in my doa in every prayers. And Skype links us closer together! :D

His doa, supports, motivations and encouragements that will keep me strong here. May Allah bless him, grant him with good health, tranquil heart, peaceful mind, reward him for his patience and strengthen his iman, insya Allah.

Lastly, may Allah swt bless our marriage with happiness and be closer to Allah in love and devotion.

Thank you all, family and friends for the doa being showered to us.

Guest notes

Just to share some of the notes written by the guests on that day. Some of them really put an effort as if to cover the whole card, n some just wanna save the ink! Lol

As sweet as my grandfather

As short as erm, i'm not sure who is this from..

As full as my Aunt's & Uncle's

As simple as my former company's

I dint know that i invited Superman and Batman.. Did i?

Erk.. Yang tk habis tulis pon ada..I thot i spared 12 pens? (slap forehead)

From Bestfriend

Fortunately i do not need to Google this. Lol

From a long lost girlfriend

Love these babies

This arent for me! Its for my youngest sister. haha

Aww..

And look at the ang pao that we received.. spot the diff.

Hantaran

The exchange of gifts between the bride and the groom.

For my hantaran, I based on concept too as per my wedding decor.

But I love the hantaran given from him. White! DIY-Ed by his aunt.

And our hantaran are for honeymoon purposes actually. Like the Camera, and Timberland boots since we travelled during end of winter.
N I love that White Millitary Coat from MNG.
Both of us are fans of AX, so we had a pair of AX watches together, AX shirt for him and an AX bag for me!
Above all, I love them all. <3

DIY

I love doing DIY projects.
Especially on weddings, to be able to personalized the whole thing, which is in fact a smart money saving too!

And I had the idea of doing my own wedding DIY on stuffs like these. Although I would love to DIY the whole decor like most B2B in Malaysia did. It would be awesome!

I spent around 3 months of making my 500 invitation cards.

I bling-ed up my wedding shoes too, with "I Do"

And I drew my own Henna which i scribbled on my drawing book first

Bunga Pahar, instead of the normal flower+stick+net. I used bird nests and wires to hang.

Signage as well. 

These are actually soaps which my mom bought as our Bunga Rampai. 

(So tk berterabuh)

And these are my favorite! Guest notes (for the guestbook corner)

I just had to recycle whatever stuffs i had in my Art box. 

The mailbox was made outta cardboards and my mom's kitchen roll cardboard tube for the stand! 

And some grass patches.My mom used to placed them on the floor in our balcony to make a mini garden at our old house before we moved in to Tampines. Siap ade swing you!

And the fences, my dad made it for me :D

Got inspired while googling for guestbook corner.

The idea was to let guests scribble and write in notes, wishes, greeting etc without having to Q.

There were postcards ready to be scribbled on and to be dropped in the mailbox!

Weddingku Gallery

Review on my Make up Artist, Make up & Outfit by Weddingku Gallery.

She’s the best!
Super Creative, understanding, punctual, efficient, has a great sense of humor,
always put a smile on u and all.
She’s the founder of Weddingku Gallery.
She’s non e other, Lynn Siregar. (Kak Lynn) u can find her on Facebook.

She did an awesome job for my head scarfs. I wudnt wanna go for the normal style like the Awning + Veil. So I gave full trust on her and she just surprised me on the outcome. And i love them all.

As for the make up, soft on me. She made me look refreshing and glowing. <3

Total outfit: 5

Check out my long veil <3

And here they are, Kak Lynn Siregar (left) and her assistance

Tahta Tiara

Kak Liyana the founder of Tahta Tiara and the rest of the crew member did an excellent job for my wedding decor.

A bit about Tahta Tiara. They are specialize in Wedding Dias, concept and decor.

And FYI, Tahta Tiara created the first and only 2 Design in 1 dias in Singapore that gives us the opportunity of having 2 different Dias designs.
Curious? Check out their website now @ www.tahtatiara.com

I felt in love the moment I saw the display of Hawaiian Waterfall Decor during a Singapore Expo's Wedding Exhibition on 2011.

Basically, they based on concept instead of color. As in you don't request on a theme color for your wedding decor, instead you choose a concept and the color will go as the concept.

Unfortunately I do not hv much snapshot of the decor during my wedding except for the pelamin. :(
