			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just finished watching Julie &amp; Julia on HBO and realize how I miss writing a lot and how random my writings have always been. In the movie, Julie blogged about her goal to cook Julia’s recipes, 564 recipes, on just 365 days. There’s a theme on her blog and there was never a theme on mine. Anyway, I just miss writing a lot so here I am writing again and decided to tell a bit on how I felt after being a wife for a month <img src='http://eksinads.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I used to feel scared of marriage, I felt scared for the uncertainty, on the “WHAT IFs”. But after being married for a month, I feel it nothing but heaven. Maybe it’s too soon to say that it’s heaven, but I felt nothing other than that.</p>
<p>My husband is a pious, warm-hearted and gentle man. I couldn’t ask for a better husband. We support each other in nearly every field. Most of the time, he wakes up earlier than me, shaking my body and trying to wake me up to do the Morning Prayer. He will not rest until I wake up. And I feel grateful for him. Other times, when I was too busy preparing his clothes and belongings, he quietly arrange the bed because he knew I wouldn’t have the time to arrange the bed. I feel that he could read my mind and ease my burden. He’s the extension of my hands and feet, except the fact that he’s there first before I did, before I even realize that I needed help.</p>
<p>We haven’t moved to our place yet, we’re still on our way of decorating the place, so we stayed at his house. His parents are also a blessing. They’re warm and very much welcome to my existence; I feel that they treated me as their own child. Yes, a child. Since I’m still living with them, I haven’t been a complete wife. I didn’t cook for my husband nor did I do the laundry for him. Everything’s been taken care of. That’s why I can’t wait to move to our own place so we could finally have a sense of building a life together.</p>
<p>Because I live quite a distance from my home, I miss my parents every now and then. Weekends are the times when I went to my parent’s house and stay with them for the weekends. I know that they miss me too, but they’re doing their best to let me (and Chandra) to make our decision on how we’re going to live our life without their interference. I’m very grateful for my parents. I love them with all my heart.</p>
<p>I feel blessed that everything’s turn out very well. That there’s nothing to worry about marriage. Alhamdulillah…. I hope it will always be this way.</p>

<p>Seperti proses akad nikah ade-ku tahun lalu, prosesi akad nikah untuk aku nanti insya Allah juga akan diadakan di rumah. Jadi akad nikah akan dilangsungkan pagi hari lalu disusul dengan acara penerimaan selamat dari para keluarga dan tetangga. Belajar dari pengalaman kemarin sih, acara di rumah ini cukup ramai dan meriah juga. Untuk acara akad nikah aku pengen banget nuansa taman dengan paduan warna putih, biru pastel, pink pastel dan hijau muda. Kalau dilihat di majalah-majalah wedding sih sebenarnya trend ini adalah trend tahun lalu alias tahun 2009, aku belum sempet beli lagi majalah trend tahun 2010 tapi kayaknya I wouldn’t care that much to follow the trend. Abisnya aku jatuh cinta banget dengan perpaduan warna ini.</p>
<p>Browsing-browsing kesana kesini, ternyata susah-susah gampang menemukan nuansa yang seperti aku maksud. Tapi kebetulan menemukan majalah Bella Donna Wedding di rumah yang menampilkan berbagai macam warna, salah satunya warna biru-pink-hijau pastel ini. Exactly like I want it to be! Seneng banget deh…. Udah gitu kan nuansa rumah aku memang hijau &amp; kuning, jadi ya matching banget dengan nuansa yang aku mau. Mudah-mudahan sih gak terlalu mahal untuk mewujudkannya, soalnya ya ga penting juga mempertahankan sesuatu yang diinginkan dengan keras kepala kalau ternyata memakan biaya di porsi yang tidak terlalu utama.</p>
<p>Anyway, ini nuansa yang aku pengen. Lucu banget, seperti garden party gitu. Duhh mudah-mudahan insya Allah pas aku akad nikah nanti gak pas lagi musim hujan ya… *please ya Allah… *</p>

<p>Yes, I’m officially engaged! Alhamdulillah tadi acaranya lancar. Keluarga Chandra datang tepat waktu (well sebenernya kecepetan 20 menit), malahan keluarga aku yg belum seluruhnya ngumpul &amp; sedikit jam karet (biasalah hehehe), tapi Alhamdulillah acaranya lancar. Suasana lamarannya berlangsung resmi tapi akrab. Bersyukur banget ada tante aku yg jadi MC dan bisa mencairkan suasana. Makanannya juga enak-enak dan semuanya suka. Dan yang penting banget adalah ga hujan deras! Mengingat belakangan cuaca Jakarta suka aneh dan tiba-tiba hujan deres banget.</p>
<p>Mau cerita sedikit mengenai acara lamaran tadi. Sudah jadi tradisi di keluarga aku kalau lamaran itu pakai kebaya encim putih dan kain atau baju muslim. Sebenarnya ga ada peraturan atau dress code sih tapi somehow everyone seems to be wearing the similar outfit instantly. Aku pakai kebaya putih yang udah aku punya lama. Karena acara lamarannya serius santai jadi aku ga merasa perlu untuk jahit kebaya. Kebaya ini aku beli di ITC Kuningan, kainnya pun juga. Kainnya aku pilih merah/pink karena memang aku suka banget warna pink. Untuk dandanan, lagi-lagi juga dandan sendiri. Karena mengingat bahwa lamarannya serius santai gitu <img src='http://eksinads.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Yang bertugas untuk foto-foto juga dua sepupu aku yang memang selalu dimintain tolong untuk jadi juru foto di acara-acara keluarga. So it’s practically free (KKN &amp; memanfaatkan banget ya). Memang enak banget punya keluarga besar <img src='http://eksinads.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Makanannya juga enak. Untuk makanan aku pesen sama sepupu aku yang punya usaha warung/restoran gitu, sebenarnya sih spesialisasi di bakso, mie ayam, nasi-ayam-goreng gitu, tapi untuk acara lamaran ini ibu pengen yang agak beda. Jadi kita pesan nasi warna warni, ada warna ungu, hijau, off-white dan nasi putih biasa. Unik banget lho! Nasi ungu dari nasi dicampur sedikit ubi, nasi hijau dari nasi dicampur bayam, yang warna off-white sih sebenernya nasi uduk <img src='http://eksinads.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  hehehe Trus ada bakso, dim sum dan dibuatkan siomay sama uwa (kakak dari ayah) aku. Enak banget, semuanya suka dan langsung ludes. Trus ada ikan bakar dan empal. Karena aku ga pakai catering, jadinya budgetnya gak bengkak! Bisa Cuma setengah dari biaya catering lho, Alhamdulillah. Kalau tertarik, bisa hubungin aku (promosi <img src='http://eksinads.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  ) hehehe</p>
<p>Waktu Chandra diminta untuk mengutarakan niat kedatangannya, sempet dikerjain dulu. Disuruh nyanyi (tapi dia gak mau) dan disuruh bilang “I Love You” (yang bener-bener dilakukan) hahahaa lucu banget. Chandra sampai muka-nya merah &amp; keringetan (kalau deg-degan dia pasti keringetan).</p>
<p>Anyway aku bersyukur banget. We both went through loads of things to get this far. Semoga bisa menikah secepatnya (sedikit bocoran, mungkin akhir tahun ini/awal tahun depan), dimudahkan dan sepupu-sepupu serta temen-temen aku yang jauh-jauh bisa hadir di acara pernikahan aku! Amiin…</p>
