cheers to the new mister and missus !

so thursday night i took the last flight out to jakarta so i could make it in time for this special day but not skip any classes on thursday *on which i have a class at the random time slot of 6-7pm*

capek bener deh sampe bandara tapi seneng dijemput bapak ibu :)
rupanya hari ini kita nginep di hotel ambhara karena d rumah sodara aku d jenggala udah fully booked..
so i wanted to hace a good night's sleep ahead of tomorrow which would last the whole day *akad, resepsi* but i couldn't.. not because i had trouble sleeping, not because there was something that interesting on tv *which of course was cable - woohoo! ;D* - NO..
it was because i have frikkin HOMEWORK !
urrghhh.. i guess this is mostly my own fault for procrastinating, but hey, i was the only one who had the initiative do compile our group's slides together into a powerpoint..
so i spent the night doing slides of a marketing analysis on a company of our choice *ehm, durex* .. was done at about like 3am and opted to use the wi-fi they had at the hotel and i waited for a frikkin hour and it hadn't finished attaching my ppt file to the email i was gonna send the other guys - urrghhh !
so i pestered my dad to accompany me to a warnet.. it took me only 5 minutes to get it done there and it cost me Rp. 4.000,00 ! ~ di bandung dapet 1 jam lebih ituuuu ! :((((

ok, so i ended up having a super exclusive 1 hour beauty sleep.. well, i guess i won't need eyeliners, i already had natural "smoky eyes".. grrr !
jam 6 udah mesti d jenggala didandanin.. kirain penuh sodara" cewe, ternyata cuma segelintir ipar" bapak dan aku doang !
ternyata aku teh kan disuruh bawa kalung melati sama keris buat pengantin tea kadi emang mesti dandan to the max ! hahaa..

akadny lancar bangettt.. alhamdulillah :) terus ada saweran.. permen sama duit.. harot bener om & tante aku ngelemparnya pake gaya ala sun go kong, berasa bakal nembus jidat aja kalau sampe kena jadi aku malah agak menghindari lemparannya..
sebelah kanan aku, spupu aku uca, dapet 20 ribuuu !
sebelah kiri aku, mba patrice dapet 200 ribuuuu ~ woooowww !
kok aku doang y yg g hoki ?
tau" d belakang aku pada ngomentarin aku knapa g ambil yg d kolong kursi ? tau" ada 150ribu doooongggg ! ~ alhamdulillah :DDDDDD

beres akad ngantuk setengah mampus, tewas deh d hotel.. padahal shenda sama naghe nelfon terus soalnya kan mereka sama keny mau ikut k resepsinya.. upsss ! sorry, ladies !
akhirny ketemuan langsung d tempatnya aja :)

keluarga inti yg cewe dresscodenya maroon, and i think we all did a pretty good job with our dresses..
it was nice seeing us girls all fancy and dressed up :)
dan skarang kan spupu" aku yg cowo" banyak yg udah kawin nih, jadi spupu cewe yg tadiny dikit jadi banyak soalnya ada spupu" ipar juga ! :)

the happy couple looked really cute and i just LOVED my cousin's dress !
they had a toast and my dad was one of them and it looked so weird seeing him hold up a glass of red wine.. after the toast i went up to my dad and made sure he did not drink it.. the rest did, and that was fine by me, just not my dad..
then some friends of the bride and groom read had some speeches read aloud, it was really sweet :) and then there was the bouquet toss and my cousin wouldn't toss it to me
*ah ngga usaaah ! kamu mah gampaaanggg !*
i don't know where she got that idea, but hey, amen to that ! that ain't a bad prayer come to think of it ;p

the food was awesome, as always.. *more salmon sashimi for next time though ! it was gone in like 20 minutes ~ urrghhhh !*
the music was set mostly to my aunt's generation's taste but for kids whose taste in music is ages older than themselves like me, naghe, shenda, and keny, we bopped along just as enthusiastically as the happy aunts and uncles :)

during the party we met a very special guest..
an inspirational woman who has done a LOT for this country :)
*even with all this century bank crap and what not (in which i think she's not guilty) you can't deny how she kinda saved our a**es during the global crisis, right ?*


we were some of the last ones to go.. the ones who stayed the longest were my cousins friends.. i went to talk to my cousin and her new hubby for a while then it was time to go..
and there you go, it was a great night even for me, so it must've been really precious to the newlyweds :)

so congratulations my lovely big sis, dini, and her lucky husband, arion :)

you make a great couple and i hope to see you guys as happy as today for the rest of the years to come !
see you when i see you because i really don't know when i'm gonna be back in indonesia again..
