The historic day of my life has finally come. My wedding day with Coco. My feelings are mixed. There is a feeling of happiness because I will finally be with the man I love so much. There are anxious and anxious feelings as well. But there was also a feeling of sadness that I was about to leave my parents, my Mother Father, to follow my future husband. For almost twenty-three years of my age, they both have always cared for and loved me. Give me all the best for a. And now the time has come for me to leave them, to serve my husband.
Two days earlier, a large tent with decorations dominated by gold and white cloth was set up in front of my house from the garage to cover half the way along my housing. The wedding ceremony was deliberately held at home. The living room and family room on the first floor since two days yesterday has been decorated and used as a wedding ceremony venue with white and cream fabric decorations and some fresh pink flower bouquets and whites. While the backyard was transformed into a garden party, with several long tables to put buffet food and several chairs around my pond.
From the early morning, everyone was getting ready to welcome my happy day. I was groomed by my makeup artist. Brother Vera. She's been my subscription since she was a prince and princess contestant in High School. Brother Vera was deliberately asked by Mother to decorate me. Maybe it's because I look so nervous that Brother Vera invites me to chat.
“Finally married also yes de’..Congratulations ya”
“Still kak”
“Which person's husband candidate de’?”
“SMA”
“Oh yes? De’ Vivi is very beautiful gini.prospective must also be handsome”.
“Ganteng really sak..mimik korea”sahut Anti artist who also dirajas with me
“Apaan anyway An? Kedengeran kak Ilham just know the taste of kamu”
“Ga papa.lha kan Coco is handsome”
Finally the conversation was in the room. Ghibahin how handsome my future husband, hihihi..
Because my husband is the most handsome candidate in Indonesia Raya.I am always grateful to get a man as good and handsome as Coco. In a matter of hours will be my husband.
“Udah no need nervous de’”ucap kak Vera
“View yes kak?”much
“Lha's lips until the shoot..Just relax..Don't nervous”message brother Vera
“Tuh right.now you know what it's like to get married. Remember, when I got married, you held my hand until it was dry. Yeah, that's what it feels like..Nano nano”ucap Anti
I finally know what Anti felt when he got married a year and a half ago. At that moment I held his hand until the warning. Just like what happened to me today.
Kak Vera is a top makeup artist. Her makeup never disappoints. I'm so happy to see Vera's makeup on my face. It makes me look beautiful on my happy day. For the marriage contract, I wore a long white kebaya made from lace, with a cheongsam collar, front buttons and a wide dress tail dangling. My kebayaku is in line with the white beskap that Coco will wear.
“The groom has arrived, let's get ready”Aunty Imel told us
“Yes Allah, beautiful bride today”ucap Aunt Ida while cupping my face.
“Udah mah..waiting under”ucap Anti on her in-laws, Aunt Ida.
“Oh yes, until you forget.kamu temenin Vivi yes.later if it is ready to go down immediately. Mamah nemenin your bundu lalu”
“Iya mah”
“Iya aunt”
My heart's getting so bad. Feels like a concert, it beats really fast.
“Udah Vi.ga need to pacing back and forth so” said Vivi while laughing at the nervous me.
“Kok me kebelet peed An”
“Ga can.cook to pee now”
“Where is dong?”
“Vivii ahhh.nervous ya nervous cook pee keblet also sih”
“Well to hold An”
“Ya I helped you hold your train.iiihhh.
So nervous, that I peed. Anti was forced to accompany me in the toilet to hold my train. After finishing my wish, I can breathe a sigh of relief.
“You have-there is a Vi.have wanted to meet even kebelet peis”kuh Anti while driving me out of the toilet
“Ga tau..all of a sudden just be a pee. My stomach also tastes mules”
“Udah quiet.pull nafass”Anti teach me take a deep breath. I followed him too.
“Hembukes”
Me and Anti exhale through the mouth.
“What are you doing?”sak Ilham asked as soon as he entered my room and saw the absurd behavior of both of us.
“That's Vivi..cook gara—gara nervous to marry, kebelet peed all”
“Vi.vi.vi.new also date dah nervous, how about later tonight”goda kak Ilham
The two very compact husbands managed to tease me. Makes me just pucker my lips.
“Udah ga no need to frown.pity your future husband is waiting below. We're down now huh?”take brother Ilham
I nodded slowly too. I descended to the first floor flanked by Anti and Chika, while Lala held onto the tail of my dress so as not to disturb my footsteps. Step by step I walked up this ladder, very carefully. Because it is the kebaya that I wear slimfit, so it makes me a little difficult to walk. At the last step of the stairs, I saw invited guests who were mostly relatives and friends of my friends and Coco was waiting. At the table not far from the stairs I saw the hand-drawn items had been placed very neatly. I saw Dila moving her lips
“Kakot pretty”
I smiled and replied,
“Still”
I saw Coco sitting on the chair where our marriage contract was held. He sat facing the head and Father. So I can't see his face. So too with Coco who can't see me. As soon as I got to my seat, Coco just turned her head towards me.See Coco smiled at me and I returned her smile.
O Allah..Coco is handsome..My heart feels like it's going to be dislodged see my future husband who looks really handsome today. Just this time I saw a guy of Chinese descent wear beskap, apparently handsome too.
As soon as I sat down, the wedding ceremony was started by the MC. It begins with the opening and recitation of the Holy Quran. Continued with the wedding sermon. The wedding sermon aims as a reminder and debriefing both brides will be the importance of maintaining household integrity. The wedding sermon was delivered by the penghulu or KUA officer. The wedding sermon begins by saying hamdallah, Istighfar, and shahadah. Then, followed by the recitation of the verses of the Quran, the submission of the deities, and the essence of the sermon of marriage.
The next event is ijab qabul. The most sacred event, thrilling and makes me a heart spot. Penghulu first tells Dad and Coco about the qabul ijab. Then Father and Coco shook hands.
Honestly, my feelings are getting worse because I see two important men in my life at this ijab qabul event. I kept staring at both of them. The most historic moment of my life is just about to begin. Before we all said basmallah and Istighfar to be free from the interference of jinn and demons. And when Dad with his heavy voice began to say the word akad,
“Ananda Marco Reynand Valencio bin Andy Valencio, I marry and I marry you to my daughter Viviane Mikaylafayza Putri with gold jewelry mascarine weighing 150 grams and cash USD 2,401 paid CASH.”
As soon as Dad said the sentence, Coco immediately answered him out loud,
“I received his marriage and his marriage Viviane Mikaylafayza Putri bint Abimana Surya Saputra with the mascawin, paid CASH.”
When Coco answered, I somehow got into a tense stand. It felt like holding your breath.
“How's witness? Valid?”ask pak Penghulu to Om Wira, Father brother Ilham and Opa, witnesses from Coco's side.
“SAH”pap both witnesses loudly
I couldn't hide my leg feeling once Coco managed to say the qabul sentence in our marriage contract with one breath and when both witnesses said the word “SAH”. I saw my family and Coco's family happy, having made it through the thrilling phase of my marriage contract. Haru's feelings then enveloped me when I saw Dad rubbing his eyes. Just this time I saw Dad who was usually strong as steel, shed his tears when he let me go to live my new life with Coco, the man who is now officially my husband.
I looked at Father's reddened eyes. Making me want to cry also seeing the father who always protected me and took care of me with his whole life. Coco who saw me sad, then clasped my hand tightly.
Next the ruler said a wedding prayer for both of us.
““Baarakallahu laka wa baarakaa alaika wa jamaa bainakumaa fii khoir.”
Meaning:
“May God bless you, both in joy and sorrow and always gather you both in kindness.”
Coco and I were then guided by the ruler to sign the marriage book as one of the important documents to be legal. With the view of the marriage book, it means that Coco and I have been officially as a couple in the eyes of religion and country. Penghulu then guides Coco to offer prayers after marriage for the wife. Coco placed her right hand over my head, I raised both my hands to accept my husband's prayer, and then Coco said the prayer :
“Allahumma inni as-aluka khairaha wa khaira maa jabaltaha alaihi, wa audzubika min syarriha wa syarri maa jabaltaha alaihi.”
Meaning:
“Yes Allah, I ask from You the goodness of my wife and the goodness of the character that You keep in her. And I take refuge in Thee from the ugliness of my wife, and the ugliness of the character which Thou hast kept unto her.”
After saying the prayer, Coco kissed my forehead gently.
The next event, the MC asked Coco and I to stand face to face for the handover of our beautiful framed wedding dowry. The photographer quickly captured the moment. Not to forget the ring exchange event, where Coco and I paired the wedding ring on our ring fingers. And then I kissed the back of my husband's hand. Coco also kissed my soft forehead.
Finally Coco and I were able to smile happily after we were officially declared husband and wife. The next event was Wedding Advice by ustadz Anwar, Dad's friend in college and my religious teacher and Coco in High School. Because he knew Dad well, he still remembers me. And when she found out I was getting married to Coco, she reminisced about the two of us.
“They were both my students at XX High School. So I know Vivi and Marco. In the past when High School, a lot of teacher friends who predict they will marry. Really father mother? You see, they were three years champions of the race what was his name..Oh yes.prince and princess our school. They are both legends of my mother.. Champions three years in a row. Until now no one has beaten them both ini”
Me and all the little laughing invitations heard Anwar's ustadz story. Coco held my hand with a smile.
“I used to not believe it at first either. I think also like other High School kids, whose courtship keeps breaking up. These two children turned out to be lasting even now. Congratulations to Vivi and Marco”
Coco and I nodded slowly at the confession of Ustadz Anwar. After giving marriage advice and advice, Ustadz Anwar closed the marriage contract with prayer. The atmosphere is truly solemn. Made me once again drift in the prayers that Ustadz Anwar prayed for the both of us.
My wedding ceremony is finally over. Penghulu also said to go home. I'm Coco and our entire extended family are both gathered in the backyard to enjoy the food already served. Because my kebayak dress is a bit complicated, Coco helped me walk. I put my hand on his arm. I walked slowly because I happened to have high heels that I was wearing too high. It makes it difficult for me to walk.
The garden party event in the backyard was deliberately made as comfortable and relaxed as possible, so that I and the invited guests could enjoy the dish and have a casual conversation.
“Congratulations yes de’..Co”ucap ilham
“Viviii.welcome yes.it is legal you are now husband and wife”ucap Anti me while hugging my body.
“Iya thanks.makasih also debay.have wanted to nemenin aunt around ya”ucapku while stroking belly distended Anti.
One by one the invited guests congratulated me and Coco. We also took pictures together. I finally got halfway through. I am so happy to be with the people I love, sharing the wonderful moments of my marriage with Coco.
