A Vespa on the dais next to the pelamin makes the setting so charmingly 'retro'.
When Yaya Weds Yeep
Weddings, a gathering of kith and kin near and far. These are folks you don't get to see much otherwise due to the demands of everyday life. But come weddings, they would dutifully turn up to partake the celebrations and renew old ties.
It was full house at the wedding of Yaya (Puteri Ernie Suraya), youngest daughter of my eldest brother Megat Yusof, and her beau Yeep (Sharifudin) in Gombak two weeks back, after a year-long engagement (story here).
Yaya's a final-year student of multimedia at a local university. In the indie music circle, however, she's better known as the singer-composer-guitarist who frontlines indie band Static Emily. Yeep's an engineer with a local firm.
Yaya's the last of her dad's lot to get married. I'm sure both he and wife Sarah must be heaving a big sigh of relief. To Yaya and Yeep, Selamat Pengantin Baru from Mak Yong Kama and family. Cepat tambah cucu Abah & Ibu!
My nieces Puteri Davina and Puteri Arieshah, elder daughters of my brother Megat Muzaffar... Next in line.. ?
The bride's nieces (my teenage grandnieces) living it up in '50s tog. They later put up a musical show with the band in attendance.
The siblings (from left): Fouzi, Kama, Yusof. Phew, aren't we oh so chubby...
Father of the bride (flanked by his sisters Idah, Izah and Kama), masuk 'spital for breathing difficulties. He had neglected his sneezes and coughs for three weeks so as not to interrupt his daughter's wedding preparations.
Turned out he had bronchitis and water in the lungs. Tak pasal-pasal jadi tetamu kehormat Hospital Ampang Puteri for four days. Thank God he's on the road to recovery.

Chubby or montel gitew!
You are lucky to have so many specially grand weddings in your family. Do you have to design new dresses for these weddings? In our kampong I can get by with daily clothes - just placing a songkok to look less casual. Of course the ladies are fussy - as always!
ezza & yohwang - makyong nak kena kurangkan berat badan wehh.. udah takder baju nak pakai..lol
mm - alaahai, kalau saya tahu MM ada, saya pi perkenal diri. tadi saya berjumpa my brother kat rumah our sister in shah alam, dia mentioned that he was yr husband's junior at the military academy in portsea.
al-manar - saya sempoi jer pakcik. baju sentiasa recycle because i hv no qualms about wearing the same baju many times over. you would probably find it hard to believe that i hv only ONE handbag tapi itulah hakikatnya. nak beli the second one pun pikir banyak kali ni sebab tak suka membazir. not the 'jjangok kind, pakcik.. hehehehe..
