This is by far the GRANDESTEST (if there's such word - and I was just kidding there I know there isn't such word -_-" ) Malay wedding ever
I thought it was beautiful and sweet, although I'm more of a simple wedding kind of person ( I wonder whether that'll happen since I'm the first-born...and a GIRL summore pft). Anyways, back to the story. This is the montage for the wedding of the late SM Nasimudin's ( founder of NAZA group) daughter, Nur Nadia SM Nasimudin.
I guess that when you have the money, you can spend on anything you wish for.
The main reason I wrote today, even though I had other things in queue, was when I read people's comments everywhere about the wedding. I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound arrogant but I feel that the typical Malay mindset has to stop. So what if she wants to spend on her wedding like that? She DOES have the money. Some of you believe that it's a waste of money, can be donated to all sorts of charity. From how I see it:
1. It's HER and HER FAMILY's money. Ada ke kau tak makan sebab dia tak bagi kau duit? Or did she owe you anything in monetary terms?
2. They earned the money, they have the RIGHT to spend it in however they life. They are in no way ever obligated to YOU.
3. Weddings are usually once in a lifetime (maybe), so what if she wants to spend on her wedding? I'd want my wedding to be somewhat perfect too! You know it's not an everyday affair.
4. If you think she should have donated the money to charity organizations, what makes you think she and her family did not? How would you know for sure?
5. So what now? She and her family work for the money and earned it, then donate it to people who just wait for the money to drop from the sky? cmon now, please be sensible. Yes, charity is charity, but only for those who isn't capable of working (sick people, OKUs, old people, kids).
6. Throwing the flower is just a tradition, it has nothing to do with Christianity. It's just like how Malay people does that 'Tepung Tawar'. Get over it!
"The practice of the bride tossing her bouquet before she leaves on her wedding trip is said to have started in the 14th century, when getting a piece of the bride's clothing was considered good luck. In those days, the bride was treated poorly. Guests would grab at her wedding dress in order to tear off pieces of it. Although brides continued to believe they would not be wearing their wedding gowns again, they objected to its wanton destruction. Instead of allowing guests to tear at their gowns, brides found an alternative and instead, started to throw personal items, such as the garter, to the guests. Today, the groom removes and tosses the garter, while the bride tosses her bouquet. The unmarried man who catches the garter is asked to put it on the leg of the unmarried woman who catches the bouquet. It is said that they will be the next to marry (not necessarily each other)."
Happy?
7. Lastly, kau jealous apahal? HAHAHAHAHHA
Sorry ah, but humans just have something to say about everyone ah? Takkan pernah puas hati dengan one another. Peace out!
Like the saying goes, You Have it, You Flaunt It! :D
ReplyDeletetimes change so get with the times larrr...
ReplyDeleteseriously why everyone have to be a money consultant? like they ever donate all their money to charity?
good post Hanie!
ahahahaha those typical ones - sour grapes lah...
ReplyDeleteok maybe those people are just jealous, but i guess it all goes back to u. even in islamic studies we learned that "bersederhanalah dlm menganjurkan majlis perkahwinan". buat ape nak boast to other ppl u ada byk duit pon.
ReplyDeleteAnon: true though, very true. But then, bukan boleh bawak mati pun ye tak? accumulate more, spend on necessary things and donate. Tapi bila donate banyak2 pun ada je orang yang keje dok tunggu terima donation, pun tak guna jugak. well, it's just my 2 cents =)
ReplyDeleteThose people who said things like that we prolly do the same if they that kind of money.. And imo, their wedding is no way boasting their richness, they just want a happy wedding, and if by having a ceremony like that and they have the money to do it, why not? They have tons of money, how do u know they havent give donations? who knows, they probaly have spent more of the cost of this wedding for charity.. Who are u to judge them??
ReplyDeletebtw, i always hold the principle of the money they u spent, the more u help other people. The workers, caterers, etc.. the money eventually went to them.
and lastly, money x boleh bwk ke mati right? :-)
orang yang keje dok tunggu donation?
ReplyDeletehaha
sekurang2nya keje dia mulia, walaupun menunggu org bagik donation je.
btw, tak payah tunggu kita ni jutawan br nak menderma. lebih baik menderma dari duit asyik melayang kat club2 malam berpesta muda mudi. tak ke begitu? =p
btw, they ave done the charity part so why not they splurge their money on sumtyn like one in a lifetyme wed ayte? hehehe good post ^.^
ReplyDeleteImawesome: people always only see the frontline, not the behind the scenes, that's why.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: siapa kata donation tu must be in terms of money? I did charitable deeds that didnt use money cause I know I don't have money and saya rasa duit yang habis kat club tu memang sangat membazir (ni boleh cakap sbb I don't spend my money at clubs haha). baik pegi makan.
neek" :)
its true what you say. some people just cant stand others being happy. shame on them.
