Lias sms-ed on Friday, saying snippets of our wedding video were up on
multiply.
I'd never really been into all these wedding videos, photoshoots & all. We didn't even engage a proper videographer for the wedding. Didn't have time to look at the snippets till yesterday, at Kakak's place.
For a moment, I felt like I was transported back to 14.8.05. I remembered the light breeze I'd felt that day, the atmosphere at home - the guests were not too noisy, it was just nice. I remembered saying little prayers in my heart, hoping all would go well. I remembered being surprised at the sense of calmness I felt when the ijab-kabul was said, thanking Allah for it.
I remembered how my family came up to the dais to take a snapshot with us; how our guests wished us all the best, how I could hold back tears when I
salamed my own parents but went slightly red-eyed when I saw his mom wish him well.
I remembered that tingle I felt when it finally dawned on me that this person, a stranger to me 5 yrs ago, was the one I'd fallen in love with, and chosen to be a part of me.
And the songs Lias chose to go along in the videos...so nicely chosen (except dance with me, that one never my favourite :p), I especially like Heaven (they remade the bryan adam's song) Never really paid much attention to that song before, but it just sounded so appropriate.
Thinking about our younger years.......
It's rare for me to still be up at this hour. I think I'm missing AH.
