The Price of Marriage || Short Film || ثمن الزواج

Assalammualaikum and goodmorning peeps!

Just sharing with you a video that might leave an impact on us; especially since we might be going through the same exact thing as the man or even the lady. You might have seen this video on FB since it has been popping up on my newsfeed several times already, but well, I just wanna share to those who have not seen this!

Spare just 7 minutes to watch this video and reflect on it!


You know, after watching this, I kept on wondering whether did I bring inconvenience to E? My family and I did noy put a price for the dowry; E was the one who decided on it but I was worried that he chose the amount 'cos he thinks that the amount is what my family is expecting of him. I did ask E again yesterday, and he said that he chose it with sincerity, not because of any other reasons and he mentioned also, that money can always be earned, so I do not need to worry about all this. PHEW!

Alhamdulillah. =)

I do hope that whatever you guys are facing, just remember that the most important thing about marriage is not the wedding, but the marriage life. Look far into the future to decide your next course of action instead of just thinking of that one day. Yes, literally, just one day of happiness. And I SOO hope that parents would understand the situation that we, the youths, are facing now, instead of just following our desires. Wallahu'alam.

Anyways, I hope to post more in the near future!

Been soo bzzzz bzzzz busssyyy with all the preparations!

Alright, take care peeps! ;)

SURPRISE!

Saaaay...

Was it ever mentioned that I had kept the engagement a secret from families (extended) and friends?

HEE!

Yes! I had managed to hush up all the news regarding this engagement except for a select few who helped me for the 'merisik'..

Below is a pixelated copy of the invitation sent out to my closest friends on 1st January 2014! (Two were informed earlier, 'cos I met up with them! Hee.. You guys know who you are! *winks*) A simple invitation using AWESOME Android Mobile Apps: Instext and PicsArt!


To those who have been invited, I hope that you could grace the occasion and share my happiness on this day. For those who have not, it does not mean that you all are not in my mind.. All of my friends are, but, since it is a fairly small engagement ceremony, I have to take into consideration for my family too..

I hope that you all understand my position and that no misunderstanding would occur, instead, do shower us with prayers, ameen!
