akad nikah ceremony
July 11, 2012Our akad nikah ceremony was my favourite one, maybe because it was the actual moment Dean and I are pronounced husband and wife. It was perfect. The feeling when my dad shook Dean’s hand was overwhelming. I was sitting with my dad in my view and I just poured out crying, stringy snot and everything. Haha.
I’m really close to my dad, so you can imagine what a bittersweet moment it was for me. Seconds away from being Dean’s wife and having the responsibility baton passed from dad to Dean. My dad and I left together from home in the car to KLGCC where the ceremony was held. So in the car, he gave me marriage advice and words of wisdom. Yeah, I don’t remember anything. It was hard to hear with me crying like a baby.
But my dad kept his cool and that helped me a lot. I mean, if he showed the slightest sorrow, I would be wailing in the ladies’ room.
I was seated on the pillow (was not easy trying to smile while ) and surrounded by my dulang girls and my sister. Dean and his entourage walked in and I had to act all shy and look down. I did steal a glance at him though and my first thought was “Can someone please fix his crumpled baju melayu?”. He, on the other hand, did not even look at me!!! I was like helloooooo bride’s this way, look at me! He later told me that he wanted to keep it special and only look at me after the akad. Nice save. Pftt.
The Imam asked Dean, “I need to confirm this as a procedure. Is this the Vivy Yusof that you want to marry? Please look behind you.”
Dean looked at me for the first time and nodded.
“Are you sure that’s Vivy? She doesn’t usually look like that on a normal day.”
Pfftttttt very farneeeeee, Imam.
I always thought the moment everyone says “Sah”, there should be some magical feeling that encapsulates the transformation to a wife. Nahhh I was more like “Wow, he actually did that in one lafaz. I lost the bet!! I sooo underestimated him.”
We then adjourned to the ballroom for the mahar-giving and ring exchange. And we did the whole kiss on the forehead thing while all the makciks and pakciks told us to hold the pose for longer than necessary. Hehe.
That night, I don’t think it sunk in for both Dean and I that we were married. It’s slowly sinking in now and the feeling is amazing.

V, i’m curious. I think you blogged about you want stella to be your maid of honour. But I think I only saw stella during your bridal shower. On your reception, only toots and asma were your bridesmaids right?
Awww…this entry is so sweeeeeettt…sugar overloaded…hehehe…
you’re so pretty!
everything about your wedding day is very beautiful. Especially like when Dean performed the solat sunat 😀 I hope your union will be blessed with love, happiness, prosperity and a dozen mini vivy and dean (NO?!) LOL!

Love the pelamin..

Congrats vivy. U were such a beautiful bride. That pelamin was just awesome. I liked your caption for the photo of dean praying the most. I laughed out loud reading it. Congrats and do continue to inspire us all with yr blog…
where’s ur opah? she didnt come for ur akad?
V, the pelamin is indeed gorgeous that I want to cry looking at it. But it’s your dad that actually make me cry. For someone whom don’t really get to know her dad… I do envy this moment of yours. I think I understand what it meant to have a close father-daughter relationship looking at my daughter and her dad. I am sure she would cry on her wedding day too.
your pelamin is so so so so so so so awesome !! it was really grand and one of a kind !
can u show us your pretty akad nikah dress? can’t really see from the photos. 🙂
Thank you
sangat cantik! i’m in awe… still…

Hi V, I know this is a thousand years overdue but I just started reading your blog (hehe) and I saw that Dean’s beautiful wedding band. I’m looking for a decent, not-too-typical wedding band too and I can’t find nice ones that are not gold. Any suggestion of where I can find them here in Malaysia? Much thanks
