Valentines Day...

I found this article which i Think might be usefull for all Muslims out there, I only quoted parts of it......

Menurut sejarah, ada beberapa kisah berkaitan asal usul sambutan Hari 'Valentine' ini.

Sebelum abad ke-17 masihi, masyarakat Rom meraikan Hari 'Valentine' pada 14 Februari setiap tahun sebagai hari mencintai tuhan atau patung pujaan mereka. Dalam sambutan itu, mereka mengorbankan anjing dan kambing betina, kemudian darahnya dilumur pada tubuh dua orang pemuda. Tubuh yang berlumuran darah itu dibasuh pula dengan susu sebelum diarak ke tengah-tengah Kota Rom.

Ketika perarakan berlangsung, pemuda itu memegang kulit anjing dan kambing betina yang masih berdarah dan memalit darah berkenaan kepada sesiapa saja yang mereka jumpa. Gadis-gadis Rom amat gembira jika mereka dipalit darah oleh pemuda terbabit, kerana mereka percaya darah itu dapat menghalang mereka daripada menjadi mandul.

'Valentine' adalah paderi paling berpengaruh pada zaman pemerintahan Ratu Isabella dari Sepanyol. Kedudukannya dikatakan di tempat kedua selepas Paderi besar Pope. Ada beberapa kisah mengaitkan paderi Valentine ini dengan sambutan Hari 'Valentine'. Antaranya ialah paderi itu orang penting ditugaskan menjatuhkan Kerajaan Islam Cordova, Sepanyol.

Jasanya adalah sesuatu yang tidak boleh dilupakan dan sangat bermakna. Sehubungan itu, tarikh 14 Februari diputuskan sebagai cuti umum untuk merayakan kemenangan pada setiap tahun. Hal ini juga sebagai cara untuk mengenang semua jasa paderi Valentine itu dalam usahanya untuk menjatuhkan Islam .

Kesimpulannya, sebagai umat Islam kita wajib menghindari daripada mengamalkan budaya menyambut Hari Valentine. Ini kerana ia jelas bertentangan dengan syariat Islam selain dikhuatiri boleh menjejaskan akidah dan keimanan kita. Ingatlah, kesucian Islam akan dapat dipertahankan selagi umat Islam berpegang kuat dengan akidah Islam.

updates....

just read diah's entry saying she regret not writing more about her wedding prep..i realise I should get my lazy fingers to update more often, esp these last few days...


Nikah legal stuff:
Ok i'm suppose to call the imam next week to remind him..hehehe

Date:
Did u guys know that I'll be having a joint reception with my sis in July???..oh I'm so excited, i know it sounds weird but me and my sis have been wanting a joined wedding since a few years ago, we have always planned our reception together, and Alhamdulillah somehow my circumstances has worked out well for us...
sure ramai say what about our own personal wedding vision?? well its simple, we plan our dream wedding during our nikah..so me and her still get our own dream wedding, and then the reception, we inshaAllah will do it according to what we have been planning the last few years ...

Outfit :
I actually just picked it up last week...I love the baju soo much..its so sweet...but the veil..Its also so pretty...but .hmmm..well i'm a very simple person kan?? when i told my designer i wont be wearing a crown, terus he made me a heavier beaded veil, then i initially wanted..hehe...the veil is sgt cantik...but because I'm wearing it during nikah, i takut its too much..
everyone in my family says its NOT though, and that i'm just paranoid...heheheh... maybe i am..

Favours:
I finally finished doing them, i buat soooorang k...but i can't be mad at any of my sisters...everyone is sooo busy...our house lately non-stop new things happening..talk about changes...


Hantaran:
I'm so freaked out because i belum hantar my barang hantaran to MG, but I don't want kacau them till Amys wedding selesai..hehehe...sempat right?? its only a few more days to go...

Spa:
U know, i decided not to do ANY spa, everyone close has advice me to stay away, sbb my skin so sensitive, takut it will somehow react..i also redha je with the situation...Allah SWT always test us...this is my biggest dugaan/test in life i guess...not the spa, the skin part.ehehe...

Sign boards:
From my previous experience in wedding prep , there are 2 things yg we all always stress last minute, signboard and hantaran..so this time i learn my lesson, i habis kan sign board by this week...hehhee..its done, It so big and clear, i hope everyone can see..i choose the most obvious colour, White and red..bunga manggar in Blue....its so simple, not cantik also, but I wanted it to be more practical then anything...


Honeymoon:
I actually booked the trip a few months ago, but instead of 6 days, i book for 5 days only..so I emailed them straight, to make sure the bookings is for 6 days..there is no way, i can kurangkan the days now, because we have confirmed our flight even earlier than that... but Alhamdulilllah everything is good, I also have e-mailed them the flight details, so they can pick us up from the airport straight...

wasssalam,

My Wedding Documentary

I dah kena marah by my dear b2b friend today coz i haven't been updating my blog..hehhee..so we both were discussing just now about videographers...

Videographers in Malaysia, sadly the choices are not as much as photographers...But there are some pretty great ones out there...

Of course my option 1 would be manggis, because they did an awesome job mashaAllah for my sisters wedding...i teared up when i watch the nikah, on top of that, the song selection was pretty amazing...

So yes, i called them straight, but sadly, I couldn't afford it..it was way beyond our new budget...

yup kan we dah exceed budget sooooo many times, finally the last 3 months me and habib has been very discipline with the budget..hehehe...

Option 2: was shutterspeak...hmm not bad the price, just slightly cheaper than manggis, but At least cheaper right...i so looove the nikah video at villamay, just lovely..

Option 3: was suggested by my fellow school mate, called XX...I was not so keen because they are baru, and I'm sooo fussy......

Option 4: was shahrin aziz, he gave us a pretty good price...i have to say it was the most reasonable among all 4....

oh ya nurul & suhaimi was def NOT in my list, because a family member took them for their wedding last year in MID 2009 and GUESS WHAT?? gambar and video IS STILL NOT READY..satu keping gambar pun we haven't seen and its like what, FEB 2010 now...yeah its been more than 7 months now...

I know there are a few big timers out there like CST and dina wedding,yeah like manggis, can't afford them...

anyway back to my story,1st choice of course is too mahal.....4th guy is an amazing photographer, but videography, he himself admitted its still RTM standard..ehehehe...

so i was pretty set on my 2nd option...




until i met my 3rd option

Me and habib met with him last....and OMG i fell in love...it was what i was looking for, def not RTM standard and the best part, it was just well within our budget....after meeting them, in the car itself excitedly I asked habib what he thought about them?? of course in my heart i really wanted him to love it...

and he said YES, ahhh finally after our very long search ..i swear this was the hardest decision to make...

so yes announcing our official videographer InshaAllah....

XX
p/s: its the xx and their beautiful wedding that caught my eye...he showed me the full nikah...hehee..love the editing...

oh btw XX, if your reading this, yes i have very high expectations, and i want my nikah video to be really sweet inshaAllah...

wassalam,

sabby...

p/s: Updated June 2010--> due to recent events i had to hide the name of my videographer.

A big thank you...

A beautiful girl told me i should stop hiding, and start writing again...

Before anything, I would like to thank every reader that has e-mailed me and posted comment on my blog, your support meant soooo much to me, you have no idea...

You girls reminded if, if you are doing the right thing, then just be strong, and follow your heart...
When i started the blog, my intention was just to share, so it will be a guide for any bride to be, because when i was surveying for my sisters and brothers wedding it was the blog that helped me most...hehehhee...

A few weeks ago, the whole incident made me forget the reason why i started it to begin with..now I want to continue sharing..with hopes that at least i can help 1 bride to be outhere..even if its a small tiny help...

Alhamdulillah, now the journey must go on..right???

p/s: for any readers out there, if my blog has offended you..please stop reading...don't visit my blog anymore... if you feel that i need to be corrected then tell me personally, e-mail me..

just ask me...why i said whatever i said... because trust me, I'm one person who always has an answer for myself...

But if you hate the hadith & Quranic versus that i quote, then that is beyond my limit..those aren't from me or not created by me suka2... they are the words of Allah SWT and our Prophet Muhammad SAW..
