Great Trust Comes Great Responsibility

Jadi hari ini aku ketemu sama salah satu vendor decor rekanan IICC, Dendy Decoration. Ketemu langsung sama pak Dendy nya. Dapet rekomendasi dari Adet, sahabat akoh yang nikah Februari tahun lalu di IICC. Gini nih isi whatsapp eike sama doski :

Gimana nggak penasaraaan coba pas baca reviewnya~ Eh beneran dong orangnya baik pisaaaann. Orangnya santun banget. Ramaah. Umurnya kayaknya sePapa (umur anaknya 23 tahun), agak susah nyambung sih pas ngobrol, tapi keliatan banget komitmennya untuk memberikan yang terbaik. :')

Kita jadi ngobrol cemacem. Beliau cerita kalo usahanya itu bermodalkan kepercayaan karena beliau nggak punya studio sendiri. Beliau cuma kenal banyak teman yang bersedia bantu. Beliau bahkan ga punya modal dalam bentuk uang tetapi kepercayaan. Kepercayaan dari rekansnya yang bersedia bantu, IICC yang bersedia menjadi mitranya dan yang pasti calon pengantin yang mempercayakan dekorasi untuk acara sekali-seumur-hidup kepada beliau.

Psst, baru tau juga kalo IICC itu awalnya punya 16 rekanan dekor. Dari ke16 tersebut, yang sampai detik ini bertahan cuma 5 vendor. Kenapa? Karena sisanya 'mengecewakan' manajemen IICC. Wooo~

Beliau juga cerita tentang bagaimana degdegannya setiap hari Rabu, tentang doa-doa yang dilantunkan setiap hari sejak H-3 acara dalam tahajudnya, supaya acaranya berjalan lancar, bisa memberikan yang terbaik, dekorasi yang indah, dan kenangan yang menyenangkan seumur hidup. Uwwh.. :')

Beliau bahkan sama sekali nggak ngomongin harga sebelum kita tanya, karena komitmen beliau nggak akan lebih dari harga paket gedung. Baru setelah kita tanya soal harga, beliau dengan santun menjawab, insya Allah kalo ada tambahan nggak akan jauh-jauh dan pasti akan didiskusikan dengan keluarga tentang plus minusnya. 

Aiih, Bapaaak :').. Gini nih yang insya Allah bikin dekorasi indah pernikahan berkah, karena di dalamnya melibatkan orang-orang baik dengan doa-doa yang baik pula. Aaamiin^^..

Insya Allah minggu depan saya ketemu beliau untuk liat dekorasi karya pak Dendy di IICC. Adat Bugis sih, tapi setidaknya jadi bisa liat detail dekornya.  Bismillah, semoga berjodooh. :)

Fitting. Fitting. Fitting.

Sebelumnya, maaf yaa kalo postingannya rada random. Tetiba langsung bahas baju ajyaah. Hehehe. Sebenernya ada ko mindmap dan checklistnya, cuma berhubung riweuh nyari, post image, bla bla, dan daripada kehilangan momen pengen cerita soal dress, jadi ndak papa yaa random, hehe. Terus maaf juga kalo rada banyak sensornya~ maklum, pengen surprise dikit pas hari H ntar. ;)

Alhamdulillah udah nyobain dua baju, untuk akad dan resepsi. :')

Minggu lalu ke Miarosa untuk ngukur badan untuk baju resepsi. Insya Allah sewa perdana. Sebenernya sih sempet dilema sewa perdana atau engga, karena baju resepsi yang dicoba udah baguuuuss, khawatir kalo perdana nanti malah ga sesuai, cumaaaa, setelah dipikir-pikir, kyknya lebih prefer  sewa perdana. Berasa baruuu! Haha. Soalnya lagi, baju yang dipengenin udah sering muncul di majalah, hehe.. ;)

Nah kemarin ini nyobain baju akad. Cuapeek, pake nyasar pulak, di Bintaro. Heuheu. Tapi alhamdulillah berbayar pas nyoba. Gaunya bahan songket. Paduan warna broken white dan emas. Bagussss :').. Langsung sreg! Walaupun sebenernya masih rada ngeganjel karena dress yang dicoba itu sepaket sama kerudung yang  ndak bisa pake sunting tusuk dr perias, huhu. Padahal kerudungnya yg sepaket itu salah satu yang menurutku bikin keren. Errr~

Hoya! Belum cerita ya? Jadii insya Allah nanti pernikahan aku memadukan dua adat : Jawa dan Padang/Minang. Pas akad kental di Padang/Minang, pas resepsi kental di Jawa. Awalnya sih maunya modern aja, tapi karena ibunda juragan minyak sebenernya aseli Jawa tapi tinggal lama di Medan, dan pernikahan anak sebelumnya tidak menggunakan adat Jawa, dan mengidam-idamkan calon mantu Jawa *uhuk* *sayangnya mantu Jawa nya kayak saya yah, haha*, maka akhirnya memutuskan dominan Jawa. Lalu ayahanda juragan minyak minta agar tetap ada sentuhan Padang/Minang. Makaa, diputuskan untuk sementara, akad menggunakan adat Minang sementara resepsi menggunakan adat Jawa.

Kembali ke topik baju akad, berhubung yang menikah bukan cuma kita berdua melainkan dua keluarga, yang diwakili mama papa ibu bapak, jadii, kami report foto kami pake dress-bagus-dan-keren-tapi-nggak-tau-bisa-pake-sunting-apa-enggak dulu deh. Kalo oke baru booking. Bismillah, doakan approved yaaa! ;)

What a Beautiful Wedding Invitation ♥

I'm Gonna Be Around

It's been so long since we took the time, to share words from deep inside us.

We're in our own world spinning our wheels, but you know how I feel.

Since the first time I took your hand, my love for you has just been growing.

You always seem to understand. You know how I am.

I'm gonna love you til the end. I'm gonna be your very true friend.

I wanna share your ups and downs. I'm gonna be around.

When you're alone cause I'm away, don't be sad don't be afraid.

I'm gonna turn my thoughts to you, like I always do.

I'm gonna love you til the end. I'm gonna be your very true friend.

I wanna share your ups and downs. I'm gonna be around.

Catch you when you fall. Hold you when you down.

Sharing every moment. I wanna show you all I do.

I believe I’ve found a miracle, in you..

I'm gonna love you til the end. I'm gonna be your very true friend.

I wanna share your ups and downs. I'm gonna be around.

I feel it, dear.. Thank you.. :')

Bismillahir rahmanir rahiim ..

Since I'm engaged in October 2011 and got the date when me & @minyakbumi will tie the knot in April 2012, I should now preparing all the wedding thingy. Happy? More than words! :')

About the preparation, ughh, I'm about to stuck of determining the color theme. Huhu. It all depends on my wedding gown, which is still not fixed. Last month I was sure that my wedding will be in pastel color but now I'm wondering if my gown will be 'that', so the pastel color won't fit to the gown. Iiish~ And many other issues that I think those will make me become bridezilla soon! Errrr~

Then someday, my mom looked at the worries through the eyes of mine, and said, "Sabar yaa sayaang, jangan lupa selalu berdoa, 'Dengan rahmatMu ya Allah, mudahkanlah persiapan pernikahan ini..'" 

Because it should be nothing without His blessings. It's just the way to the beginning. Bismillahirrahmanirrahiim.. :)

Anyway, I have an idea to make a blog just to share all the things I did, do and will do for the wedding.
Just wait ya! ;)

What A Dramatic Tour of Events (Part 1)

It's been almost two months since I experienced one of the great things in my life that I still can't believe it's finally happened. Ah, even words cannot explain it. Then, let the pictures do for you..

@minyakbumi - @visyk (me) - @lakstyo

One of the fine feelings I had that moment was grateful. First, I was very grateful because I had a chance to watch the concert that I've been waiting for ten years, even met them directly! Aaaak~! Second, I was very grateful because I met sooo many people from all over Indonesia at the various age and background. I became acquainted with a man who later I knew he's from Papua. In the other moment, when me & @minyakbumi waited for the gate to opened in Kopitiam, cafe around there, we met middle-aged couple wearing DT's tshirt and looked so excited about the concert.  Then I wonder, if Dream Theater come again about some years next, me & @minyakbumi must be look like that.. Hahaha ;D 

T h e  U n b e l i e v a b l e

I still can't believe that in April 21st 2012, I met them, I shook their hands, and had a short talks with eye contact. Myung is quietly nice. Mangini is fun! Labrie is way too cool. Petrucci is awesome. Rudess is too kind! Ahh.. :')

T h e   G r e a t   S h o w

It's already 1 months 20 days after that concert, but I'm still..
