Hello from Bali…
The last
few months have been super busy months for us Henki & I. Since the
discussion about the marriage and we got the date for the wedding, we were then
busy preparing for the wedding (in Medan). On the wedding day, we are grateful
that every single thing went smoothly. The reception was a bit of a beautiful chaos
because there are so many surprises from friends, family and MC which are all
unplanned. We apologize if there was anything that was unsatisfactory,
especially my performance on the stage! I am not prepared, galsss… But I love
that song so much, 我只在乎你 (wo zhi zai hu ni) from the legendary Teresa Deng. You can
call me old, but it is more meanigful than Taylor Swift’s song (no offense to
Taylor’s fans. :p)
Anyway, I
would really like to keep a reminder for myself how things had been before
during and after the wedding for us.
During the preparation, we both have been doing so good.
Thanks to a good friend that gave me a heads-up, saying that many couples got
into disagreement, quarrels, or even breaking up when they were preparing for
the wedding. I can understand that, since it is no longer involve only the two
of us, but the family. For this, I would really give thanks to those super understanding family members
that have made our life easier during the planning. I love you all for that.
Then, I would really give thanks to my family, aunties,
uncles, who had lent helping hands during the preparation and on the D-day
itself. And after the event, during the farewell with my relatives, there are
so much tear shed and thank you for showing me that I am much loved in this
family. I feel bad because Henki received so much threats
from my relatives. He
had no choice but to take a good care of me, since there will be big riot from
my big big family if he doesn’t do so. I love you, baby =D
Apart from
family members, I would say that I am the luckiest girl on Earth to have such a
wonderful small group of friends. Some friends have helped me a lot during the
preparation of the wedding. It is not only a saying, but I really do not know
how to do it without them. Thank you for being such wonderful friends. I
believe in Karma, and they are one of the best Karma that I had/have ever had!
Thank you… And a year, two years, ten years, twenty, thirty years from now, I
will never be able to thank you gals enough. I love you!!!!
I would
like to thank friends who had taken time off their busy schedule and made the
trip to attend our wedding. We apologize that we are unable to give you full
company during your stay in Medan. But sincerely, your presence there is so
much appreciated. Thank you!!!
And hey… a
beautiful wedding is dreams of all girls, but I got to know that the gentlemen
may have their own version of dreamed wedding too, and often it is something
simple. For this, I would like to thank my partner in life for being so
patience during the preparation of all things, for dealing with the Medanese wedding
culture with an opened heart.
It wasn’t a
grand wedding, but it was a meaningful one. It taught us a lot during the whole
process, about patience, gratefulness, simplicity, value in life, and above
all, love.
My mom's best
advice to me is “The most important thing is not the wedding, but how both of
us walk our life together in the future as a family. It is important not to always
take, but to give too. Patience, communication, honesty, respect are all that
matter.”
I hope with
her good prayers for both of us, we can live this life together as husband
and wife, just like how mom and dad have been in their togetherness for almost
40 years. It will not be always bed full of roses but it can be a beautiful
life if we both give our best to it.
We may not
have the same faith, religiously, but we believe that it is important to be Kind.
Thank you,
All and Thank you, Life… For giving us each other!
