Just like everyone who wished for our happiness, I also hope we'll have love, happiness and strength to go through challenges life throw at us.
Although we've had our solemnization ceremony (nikah) few months back, this reception kinda make it really official with the attendance of friends, families and colleagues.
I didn't really understand it before but with my own wedding reception, I kinda realize how important everyone who attended the reception is, all the best wishes, every little gift, even a plain card.... all are very important and if only I can inform everyone how much I appreciate everything.
No wonder it is mentioned in a hadith about the obligation of attending wedding feast:-
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: When anyone of you is invited to a feast, he should attend it.
-Sahih Muslim: 2574-
One thing that I'll never forget during my wedding reception day, I couldn't contact my husband for few hours. You just can't imagine how worried I was at that time. Turned out he has to stop at a workshop due to some bearing problem and he left his handphone in the car. Despite trying very hard to remain calm and prepare everything to be brought to the mosque, I forgot hair cream for hubby and the nasyid/wedding song CD. Thank God he's wearing songkok so it's not so obvious he didn't wear any hair cream and the mosque has some nasyid song that we can play during the feast.
I was very happy with the way everything turned out. It was sweet and simple, definitely memorable. Many thanks again to all who came, all who gave their best wishes, all who sent gifts and all who helped.
