The Journey began…Part II
Ok, since mommy wants daddy to continue this post, here comes daddy…
We enter the most important part in our life. It’s 14 March 2006, we held a simple but religious Akad Nikah ceremony that took place on mommy’s family house at Bukittinggi. Actually we planned to held that on the nearest Mosque around, but it’s already late night ( Isya’ time was around 8.00 PM at Bukittinggi ) so our parents decided to held the ceremony just at home.
Don’t ask me how nervous I was that time. My hand was so cold and sweat. My throat also feels bad until I ask Bulek Sur for a glass of water. Grandpa was also very nervous, his mouth indicating that he praise Allah’s name. Seeing him only made me more nervous
And, here comes the Akad Nikah, I grab Grandpa Parjono’s hand tightly, and first try was not too good. I’m too nervous for this religious ceremony. So Grandpa Soenarto ask me to repeat the process. And at the second time, I finally spoke the whole Akad Nikah words perfectly.

The second part was my Mas Kawin, which is “hafalan” from a whole surah of Al-Mulk. Here’s the picture :

After that, the whole process was completely done. We all can smile out, alhamdulillah. Finally, we became husband and wife
We all take a rest then, and prepare for the big day tomorrow for our wedding party at Dymens Hotel in Bukittinggi. We will post that on part III
A day full of smiling, and hand shaking ….
