14 days before the wedding

Alhamdulillah, most of the major stuff have been settled (God, please, let 4 hrs be enough to set up the venue, please)...except!

a tiny thing - bunga pahar.

Personally, i don't really fancy the look of a bunga pahar. Most of the time, it's shiny, probably yellow in colour & thorny. I was thinking of scrapping it, but pple told me that it'd be odd.

Kalau bunga pahar tu murah tak apa jugak - at least $80! Nasib baik my aunt will be doing it for me, but i still have to get the egg holder.

Mak suggested using plastic eggs in place of real eggs. I was like...Boleh ke?!

I mean, most of the time, I don't even notice the "presence" of bunga pahar on pelamins. A minute ago, I searched for wedding pics to look at bunga pahars on pelamins, and guess what? I forgot I was supposed to look at the bunga pahar - I looked at the bride instead. Hehe.

Hai, adat resam. Apa nak buat, kita ni hidup bermasyarakat. Lagi2 orang melayu.
But i still find it inconvenient most times, to adhere to these adat resam nitty gritty details. Wish me luck. I just sms-ed my mak andam to ask if it's OK not to have the bunga pahar thingy.
