Post Engagement : The plan

I had a hard time keeping my lips sealed on this one but I really wanted to spend some time fully soaking up the fact we're seriously engaged. So, I think it was nice just to have this to ourselves for a little! I had a pretty good feeling we’d get engaged but I never expected it would happen this fast. Today, I would like to summarize about how we planned and decided to get engaged.

AA and I have been friend for nearly 6 years. Its crazy to look back at what the past years brought and taught us. We learned to get to know each other longer and closer. He was actually my classmate, my study mate bestfriend and boyfriend. He was always there when I was in pain, sick and sad even until now. He's always make me annoyed with him and also the best person who always made me laugh. Tell me how can I not love him? But did he ever propose to me? Nope.

Kita tak pernah declare nak couple, jom couple or apa-apa jelah like other couples do. We were just like a bestfriend during our study time. Around in December 2019, we had a serious talk. We both talked about engaged, married and our future plan. Frankly speaking, we've talked a few times about this before, but this time our conversation was more serious and deep. I think its bcs maybe we are matured enough to think about this?.

Then, in the mid of January 2020 we both have decided to get engaged in June (approximately after raya). But then, the plans we have set have changed unintentionally. We no longer think long and have taken our plans and set our engagement date on 29th February 2020. He said he will bring his family within this or next month. On the 1st February, he and his family came to my house for merisik. Just a simple discussion with both families.

So within 3 and a half weeks, I had to sort everything off accordingly. In such a short time, I had to find a hall, catering, pelamin, my baju, and hantaran. So grateful that everything was made easy. An endless thank you to my parents for helping me so much. I owe them my life. I love them so much!!

So thats it. Everything was unplanned. Bur for our big day, we already save the date for our wedding. In Shaa Allah slowly but surely.

P/s: I know bertunang should be diam-diam antara dua pihak. I have to admit, at first I really wanna take it as a secret, nobody cannot know that we're engaged. But Im a human too. I just wanna share like everybody too. Well, at least they know that I am reserved :)

- AN.
