Cinta Rinjani...The Begining of the End.

People always say... Marriage is the END.. and I would response with that blank look... and answered them back, " then why the hell u got married?" There is no such thing as stupid question only stupid people.. I think only stupid people would project that kinda "live-uo-to-Marriage-is-the-end". Surprisingly it didnt only came from people who are married for like a decade or more, it even came from people/ couple who just got married.. the wonders of people!

Well.. Cinta Rinjani is a blog set by my husband and me.. and yes, we just tie a knot recently, early this year.. Alhamdunillah.. All praises to Allah who has brought us together in this holy matrimony (nikaah) and He has written a beautiful fate for the both of us.. 

Rinjani is taken from the word "Gunung Rinjani" an active volcano in Indonesia on the island of Lombok. It rises to 3,726 metres (12,224 ft), making it the second highest volcano in Indonesia, and similar in height to Mount Fuji, the third highest mountain of the Indonesian archipelago and the thirty ninth most prominent peak in the world. "Cinta" - a malay word for Love.. We went to Lombok for a beautiful honeymoon and thus we decide to name this blog, Cinta Rinjani... Love found in Rinjani..
Life has not always been a smooth sailing one.. u know like u need to go thru tunderstorms and heavy downpour to finally see a glimpse of the beautiful rainbow...yeah.. thats how life is and was for the both of us all these years, knowing and understanding each other.. every single day.. it didnt stop til marriage.. to some, Marriage is the end of bacherlorhood but its not the end to enjoying beautiful and wonderful memories together.. To us, its a lifelong learning journey together.. Its the Begining of a Beautiful Journey together with an End to Bachelorhood..

Journey starts on January 29th 2011

29th January 2011 marks a new BEGINING for the both of us.

Time @ 11am located @ wedding hall of a designated location, solemnization takes place between the groom and Kadi.. and the two lives jointly became one in the name of Marriage.

Marriage is a social union or legal contract between people that creates kinship. It is an institution in which interpersonal relationships, usually intimate and sexual, are acknowledged in a variety of ways, depending on the culture or subculture in which it is found. Such a union, often formalized via a wedding ceremony, may also be called matrimony.

In Islamic law (sharia) marriage is a legal bond between a man and a woman. Islam commends marriage, with the age of marriage being whenever the individuals feel ready, financially and emotionally.

Marriage has brought us closer to each other. Together we walk this journey together... as One... aging gracefully with happy faces around us..loving and treasuring every moment we spent til the very last breath we take..

The day is HERE!!!!!!

Its time!!!

29th January 2011 is here!!!! I am so excited.. so much planning and efforts has gone down to this day..




More pictures will be uploaded for personal viewing soon... Got to go now.. Its my day today and there is a show to catch..  *wink wink**!!!

Meaning of marriage

Its prep, prep... prep and more prep.. Oh not forgetting the Planning..

Takes months of planning, weeks of actions, days of preparations and it comes down to one day of the big event and it also draws down to few hours of final preparation and narrows down to one final moment, which is the Solemnization which actually takes about one mins of "Akad".. Hmmmm.. when I think about it.. the next word in  mind is ... TIRED!!

For a min of Akad Nikah, it takes months and months of planning, executing and finalised for one event, which people always say.. "once in a lifetime.." hmmmm true but not entirely true.. If every marriage is meant for a lifetime, then where does divorce come to picture? I think we need to be rational and practical when giving out phrases like the one aboved...

However, I do believe that fate is the best gift from GOD.. just like when fate decides who u marry to... its a gift.. it was said when 2 individuals exchange vows or tie a knot in a holy matrimony called Marriage means it happens with God's will.. we can choose to marry who we want but God determine who is it exactly to be.. it was all written in a book, called Fate.. ever wonder why u didnt end up with your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend or ex-fiances/fiancees? Cause it was not meant to be.. he/she was not the best person to be with.. do we know? NO, right? GOD knows.. which is why the person we end up getting married to is the best choice picked and written in the book of FATE, determine by God himself, Allahu Akbar.

Siti Nurhaliza wedding picture.
Comment: Honestly I really love her wedding pictures. She looked so radiant and gorgeous that day.. so what if others dont like her being married to Dato' K. Thats their fate and also their problem.. I just love and adore her looks and image.. She just made every reason for a girl to get married, of course to anyone they want to.. dont have to be some Dato'.. :p
