I know this is a really late post. But happiness is about to share, right? :)
Finally, the engagement day has come. It was on Saturday morning, January 31st 2015, a beautiful sunny day. I'm telling you, I was so nervous and already woke up at 3 am! I couldn't sleep, I thought about many things, my heart beat so fast, and I couldn't believe the man I met 2 year ago would come on that day to propose me.
Adhi's big family came a long way from Surabaya to Cepu, They arrived at my home at 11 am
Ahh.. They're coming!
(At that time, I was really nervous in the bedroom. I was not allowed to come out until my parents pick me up.)
After the greetings, my uncle asked Adhi's family (which is presented by his uncle), what is the intention by coming here. (This is just the part of the engagement ceremony in my culture. We all know what is the intention :p ) They're coming here as the request of Adhi, to ask me, to propose me to be his wife. His uncle said look this all preparation he believe that Adhi's proposal will be accepted, and I heard the laughter from all family and I became more nervous. That means I will come out from the room very soon and meet my man :)
In my culture, after the proposal, the mother of the man will give some presents or "hantaran/seserahan" for the girl. Usually the mother of the man will give jewelry, some amount of money, food, clothes, and other stuff.
I remember when we looked each other and held each other hand after the event. We are sooo happy! We can't stop smiling and greet our families, relatives, and friends.
And i believe that every woman dream proposal like this, a romantic proposal. Propose with large of rose bucket. Thank you so much my man & family ♥♥♥
We will be married in August Insha Allah, we are working on it. My everyday now is about wedding preparation. So excited! Keep praying for us..
