WW: Happy Wedding Pipit and Agus

Happy wedding, Pipit and Agus

Pipit and Agus, the bride and the groom

Last weekend, we celebrated the wonderful wedding of Pipit, my hubby's youngest sister, and Agus. We went back to Lampung and had a wonderful reunion with our big family and celebrating the unity of two beautiful families. I love it! It's been quite sometimes we didn't have family wedding and everyone got so excited.

Somehow, the wedding was dominated by purple and white, my favorite colors. The seserahan or mahar or the dowry, was also decorated in purple.

I just love them all!

My hubby and I took the chance to take some pictures as well.

It was really a wonderful day!

Akad nikah, or the signing of the marriage contract, was conducted solemnly.

Akad Nikah itself is the process when the physical marriage contract is signed, and it obviously includes and involves the bride and the groom, their parents or wali (legitimate guardian), designated witnesses, and penghulu or an officiant. During this ceremony, the officiant, usually represented by an Imam and other community leader, delivered a valuable message and recites parts of the Quran to remind us the beauty of marriage and how best to live together. Once this holy ritual was concluded, we had sungkeman, a tradition where bride and groom asked for forgiveness and approval from parents, the elderlies, brothers and sisters. It was usually filled with joyful tears and happiness. Very touchy.

cheers...the bride and the sisters

 The reception or walimah was conducted right after akad nikah.  For this, Pipit the bride and Agus the groom wore traditional Lampungnese costumes, complete with Siger, - the headdress, kebaya and golden bebe or chest cover, Tapis - the hand-woven traditional fabrics adorned with gold threads (here she wore the Songket) and accessories like necklaces (yes, she wore many of them :)), bracelets, rings and even keris or traditional dagger for the groom. They look royal indeed! I love Lampungnese wedding.

WW: Market Day at Muhammadiyah Elementary School

It’s the Market Day!

We had a lovely market day at my daughter’s school and we got super excited.
The event is annually held and the kids were basically tasked to plan and execute a marketing strategy so that they could sell products of their choice. So my kid and her friends decided to sell various snacks (obviously their favorites) and some cute stationeries.

The event started jn the morning and the kids, help by their parents, set up their tables and booth with balloons, ribbons, and colorful brick -a - brack. They had choco balls, UHT milk, biscuits, puddings, chips, and some pencils as well as brooches.

The kids also decided the price and as the school assigned the kids to sale products less than Rp10.000,-, they had everything under Rp10.000,-
They also designated those who would be the sellers,cashiers, and promoters.
We were so proud to see the way they canvassed their ideas and plans as well as sharing the tasks among themselves. Considering they are still 9-10 years old, I was so proud to see how excited and well organized the kids are.

And Alhamdulillaaaah the market day went well.

They sold almost all their stuff and the most important part is that they were happy!

They had so much fun and they learned about entrepreneurship. 

And the mothers were having fun as well!
Here are some photos depicting the joyous day we had.

Join us on (almost) Wordless Wednesday and have fun with the link party!

Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends

How’s your week, dear friends?

A lovely week as my boy is celebrating his 13th birthday.
All the very best for the nearest future, love. We al love you so very very very much.

But on the other side, my week has been filled with so many visits to the hospital and doctors. I even spent our anniversary day at the hospital with my hubby. As I have shared before, I am in the process of checking things out my womb. I do face a few anomalies and doctor as well as my oncologist have decided to go with further tests. Wish me luck! I hope nothing is wrong with it and I can go on with my usual hormone treatment that I got after the chemo.

On the other side, my kids have concluded their mid term test and now are ready for holiday break. We have not decided where to go or what to do but surely new year is coming.
