17th Aug 2013, kakak's engagement

The week before my sister's engagement ceremony day we were frantically running around to get things done. Alhamdulillah, it went better than expected. Pictures!

Flower power

Can't deny that there were some downsides to it as well... from the videographer who didn't show up that we hired a last-minute one two hours before the ceremony began, due to desperation anything was okay. And the fact that the caterer didn't prepare extra water for refill drinks that guests had to wait for more than half an hour since the caterers had to go to the grocery store to get a refill, my friends and I ended up coming to the rescue by making sarsi from the cordial we had in the kitchen and poured it into the water displacement thingy. 

But all in all, it was good, Alhamdulillah. On Monday it was back to school for me and I've been busy with classes eversince, schedule will stay this way till I'm done with finals on December. Till then, Assalamualaikum.
