Nurul's Wedding (Pt. 1)

had been knowing Nurul since she was a baby, as she always come to my parents house or we stayed @ Bapa Tua's house (our grandfather) or Kak Manja's house (our cousin) @ papar during our childhood and teenage years. she had been very chubby & adorable toddler. everybody loves her. she also had been a very good company and the best cousin. best partner for shopping, hanging out and not forgetting sharing love story or any kind of secret 😄 i've still remembered sharing lots memories as shopping for raya after working baking raya cookies with my mom, staying up late nite for gossiping, and lots more. love her like my own sister ☺️

here are some of the pictures for the solemnization ceremony (29.5.2014)

solemnization and 'batal air wudhu'' and some part of 'berbadak' ceremony were done during electricity supply shortage 🔦

later, the electricity is back.. alhamdulillah😃

our cheerful PHB family😁

the Rahman's with the newly-wed😁

our alana family with aunt Nurul & Uncle Jojo😄
so, she had been beautiful inside-and-outside, mature-than-her-age and i'd adore her for this. and now becoming a bride.. how lucky for her husband to marry her 😉 may Allah bless both Nurul and Jojo with the happiness in marriage life, though there'll be up and down times. pray that both of them will be happily ever after until Jannah 😊
