We were supposed to go to three weddings during the weekend but ended up at only one. 

And that one happens to be my cousin Aizam's! It was a nice and simple ceremony kat rumah, with friends and family bergotong royong to chip in with their tenaga and resources. And knowing my extended family, the event melarut sampai malam haha. I guess that's the good thing about getting married at home, you don't have to worry about additional fees, cooking space or having to clear out venue by a certain time, etc!

One of the best parts of my maternal family events is seeing all of my cousins again... full squad this time! We're planning another sleepover next month before another cousin gets married in January. I really love how all of us kahwin berderet deret!!! Seems like all of us plan to try for babies next year too so hopefully kita beranak pun berderet deret macam our parents dulu dulu. As in one after another at different times in different suites la, not literally side by side beranak sama time sama tempat. My extended family is kecoh ah tapi tak kecoh sampai gitu siol.

Happy 1st Wedding Anniversary, Sayang

Saliheen and Farhana - Nikah, 2 November 2013 on Vimeo.

Has it really been a year already? Saliheen and I are not the sort to celebrate monthversaries so this first year of marriage really went by very quickly for us. I am thankful to God and my husband everyday for keeping our marriage loving, supportive and full of fun and hilarity, and I hope I never have to experience a marriage of any other kind.

Thought I'd mark this milestone by sharing our official wedding video, which I haven't shared on social media before (except for snippets on Instagram). Mostly because we were not very happy with what happened di sebalik tabir with our videographers and our wedding video highlights were somewhat an unfortunate reminder of what transpired. 

But it's been a year now so I'm willing to make peace and embrace that this video is just another part of our marriage journey. I have to admit that it is nice to re-watch our wedding video on our anniversary, and reminisce the little moments that we're especially fond of!

I still don't recommend these people as wedding videographers, though. Terrible service and broke our trust. Even if you think our nikah video was nicely done (can't say the same for our sanding video, we suspect our videos were editted by two different people) take my word and choose someone else.
