Persiapan Nikah, Udah Bulan Juni Ajah!

Parampampaaam.....

It's June Already!!

I can't help it but excited, it's already less than 2 months before our Wedding Day!!

Instead of being busy with my feelings, why don't we talk about our preparation so far...??

Well, How should I tell it? In Bahasa or in English?

Maybe in Bahasa, yaa karena informasi ini lebih akan useful buat calon pengantin (capeng) orang Indonesia khususnya di wilayah Jabodetabek.

1. Catering

Awalnya agak heboh dan bingung banget loh, milih-milih Catering buat pernikahan. Sekarang, hampir semua Catering punya penawaran Paket Komplit Pernikahan. Gue dan Ricky sempet dateng ke beberapa Test Food (TF) Catering, dan semakin banyak TF semakin bingung milih yang mana. Kita pernah pendekatan ke beberapa catering, ada yang bagus banget tapi muahal buanget, ada yang murah tapi gak bagus, ada yang biasa-biasa aja tapi mahal, ada yang bagus tapi murah. Hehe.. Akhirnya pilihan jatuh pada.... taratattaaa..... Amira Catering. Kalo kamu penasaran boleh liat di website mereka, update kok.

Kenapa pilih Amira? (1) Dilayani oleh Ownernya langsung, yaitu si Cantik Mba Ima yang ramah dan super helpful buanget, nanya ini itu request ini itu semuanya diladenin. (2) Harganya paling masuk ke budget kita berdua (3) Makanannya enak, untuk Makanan Indonesia dan Eropa, tapi Amira lemah di Chinese food karena dia Cateringnya Halalan Thoyibban, jadi buat yang mau pake menu Chinese, Amira gak recommend yah... (4) Dekorasinya aduuw, makk cantik banget.. Hehehe... (5) Bisa dicicil! Minimum transaksi 2jt yah, tapi harus lunas sebulan sebelum hari H. Ini yang paling helpful yang gak ada di catering kebanyakan. Buat yang nikah pake Budget tabungan karyawan kaya kita, ini bener-bener menolong! 

2. Cincin Kawin

Tetep ya, ngikutin rekomendasi temen-temen yang udah nikah dan para capeng yang bertebaran di internet, beli cincin kawin di Toko Emas Kaliem di Melawai. Ada yang udah jadi cincinnya, ada juga yang bisa pesen sesuai kemauan kita. Harganya relatif sih, tapi kalo di Kaliem katanya sih jaminan mutu emasnya asli dan gak dikurang-kurangin gitu. Wallahualam, Bismillah aja deh ya.

3. KUA

Ini nih yang paling penting tapi malah hampir kelewatan.. hehe... Jadi setiap mempelai harus ngurus surat ke RT, RW, Kelurahan, Kecamatan dan KUA setempat. Nunggu proses punya gue cepet 2 hari selesai semuanya, tapi punya Ricky lamaa bgt muter2 gak jadi2. Dari pada semakin telat dan takut gak dapet Penghulu di jadwal yang kita mau, akhirnya kita dateng aja ke KUA Mampang Prapatan (Wilayah kita akan nikah) untuk daftar dan booking jadwal Penghulu. Jeng Jeng.. berhasil... dan yang serunya lagi kita akan dinikahin langsung oleh Kepala KUA nya loh.. Namanya Bpk. Asep. Trus yang canggihnya, sekarang KUA Mampang udah anti gratifikasi, jadinya biaya pembayaran nikah di luar KUA sesuai peraturan Pemerintah yaitu Rp.600.000 dan harus setor tunai di Bank BRI. Yah, diminta biaya admin Rp.50.000 dan Transport Penghulu di hari H sekitar Rp.100.000. Setelah itu ga ada transaksi lainnya di KUA. Alhamdulillah, akhirnya ya, pernikahan gue ini InSyaa Allah dijauhkan dari yang namanya sogok menyogok... Jalur bersih deh amiiin!

4. Seragam Bridesmaid/ Keluarga/ Busana Akad Nikah

Beli baju jadi dan kain bahan satin di Tanah Abang, harganya lumayan miriiing... hehee.. tetep ya Tanah Abang ga ada yg bisa ngalahin!

5. Baju & Rias Pengantin

Kita ditolong banget sama Mbak Lia Kanaya, rekanan Amira Catering juga. Disana gaunnya cantik-cantik, ada warna ungu... dan yang penting adalah muat sama gue. Hahahaha.... maklumlah, Body mirip Baby Huey gini kan susah nyari kebaya yang pas... hehehe

6. Hand Bouquette
Gue masih pengen berburu Hand bouquette yang cantik tapi gak maju mundur.. hehehe... Gue udah niat pengen pake bunga sintetis aja, alias bunga palsu tapi mirip asli. Kenapa? Karena harga bunga itu Mahal menurut gue, dan setelah nikah udah layu dibuang. sedih gak sih.. mendingan pake bunga sintetis, jadi abis nikah bisa kita pajang2 di rumah nanti, kenangan pas jadi pengantin. Ihiy! Tapi masih belum dapet nih, kata Mba Ima sih ada di Pasar Pagi Mangga Dua, we'll see lah ya.

Bunga apa yang gue cari? Bunga Lily! Kaya gini niiih.... Putih, Bersih, Cantik, dan terkesan Natural banget. Sukaaa banget deh sama Lily.. Semoga dapet yaa seperti yang aku impikan :D Amiin..

Masih banyak sih yang belum diposting disini soal persiapan nikahan, tapi berhubung ngetik blog sambil kerja, ya maklum aja yah klo kepotong-potong..


Best Regards,

Sally

I'm Engaged!

Well, finally it happened.

I don't know why I start this post with that sentence over there, but.. I still can't believe this. Everything just happened in sudden, and I only had a week to prepare everything. Yes, a night before my engagement I was still busy looking for fruit parcel. HAHA...

If I tell that 24 hours and 7 days a week are not enough, that would make me so selfish.  Everybody has the exact same number given by GOD, and it is our duty to manage. So, there we go with a very short time to prepare, and Thanks God, Alhamdulillah everything went very smooth without any critical problems. We wear the ring, just to remind us that we are now have the same commitment to go forward. If you like to see the photos, you can find them in my Facebook page. (Hopefully we are already friends)

I always wonder, how would I feel when someone is going to come to my house and formally ask my Daddy to marry me. Finally I can feel it. The feelings between happiness mixed with nervous, thankful, shy, panic and excited. But to conclude it, I'm extremely happy and thankful.

It's the First of February, and we are now an engaged couple. I see him now like my Future Husband and our relationship is getting better. I love him more of course.

But, I don't feel relax at all, because there are still so many tasks to do to prepare the wedding. But I still believe, every minutes is precious so hopefully we could manage it better this time.

I wish I could update this digital diary (blog) regularly.. Amin. (Don't expect anything from me :D)

Please wish us all the best.

Thanks,
