Vivy & Fadza's Solemnisation Ceremony

The king and queen of FashionValet are finally hitched.
T'was a happy, happy night. 

Officially a Mrs. Alhamdulillah. 

To the banquet hall we go.

Spreading the joy! 

Hantaran (exchange of gifts) from the bride and groom and more happy, shiny people. 

After the akad nikah I approached Vivy's dad and congratulated him. I asked him, "So how do you feel?". "I feel very young!" he joked. Then he held my hand and asked me, "How are you Sha? Have you found 'the one'?" I smiled. He said, "Don't rush into marriage. Take your time. A beautiful girl like you... you have to be very careful." I nodded in agreement. (He calls all of Vivy's friends beautiful, by the way). "Remember, marriage is not a race. It's a journey. And being in love and being married are two different things."

I can't forget those words! So deep... but what do you guys think he meant when he said that?

I'm off to Kelantan tomorrow for the weekend for another wedding but inshaa Allah (God willing) when I'm back I'll post pictures from Vivy and Fadza's beautiful wedding receptions. By the way, our darling Aishah Amin is getting married today! I'm sure she's going to be one super gorgeous bride as well and I can't wait to see her at the wedding reception tonight, inshaa Allah. May Allah swt bless their marriages with lots and lots of barakah, love and mercy.
