• Hello my little girl. You are four and half months by now but I really want you to know that I am eternally grateful to be your Mom. By seeing you in these photos, I’ll always remember what I was fight for. In every difficulties, tiredness, pain, worry and of course bunch of happiness, there is you, a brave, smart, and agile baby even since you were in my womb.

    Your Dad took these photos a day after you were born. This moment will remind me how deep my love for you. Maybe in the future there will be time when we mad at you because you do some mistakes. Or maybe in another time, it is you who feels upset to us. And that’s okay, because it’s part to be a human being. That’s all what makes us human. No matter what, one thing you have to remember. That our love is always bigger and greater than the anger itself. Whatever it is, we will always be your best support system. We wish you nothing but to be the better version of us.

  • One year married. One year journey and full of surprise in our first year as husband and wife. There is so much emotions, characters, and attitude that we learn from each other. Not always fun, sweet and happy of course, but we can go trough this together as a team. First year of marriage is a phase when we get to know each other and learn to compromise our individuals habits. And I can say that we’ve passed it very well.

    Our journey is started when I move to Balikpapan with my husband right after honeymoon. We stayed in Balikpapan for about 7 months until my husband’s base work is moved to Jakarta, shorter and also couple years faster than we’ve planned. So here we are now, back to Pulau Jawa, nearer to our hometown and families. Whether to stay for while or settle, we don’t know yet.

    In this first year journey, I also had my first pregnancy. It’s so magical how beautiful things come so fast for us, beyond our plan, more than we want. I was pregnant after 3 months married, and gave birth a baby girl at March 21st 2019, about 3 weeks before our first anniversary. It’s such a blissful gift for us to celebrate our anniversary by the presence of a child into our little family.

    So this post is like a collage that represent and picturing our life for the last 15 months of our journey as a married couple, until we have this beautiful baby girl as our child.

    First ones are pictures from our honeymoon in Bali. We stayed in Anahata Villas Resort, Ubud. We also stayed in Seminyak, but unfortunately we didn’t take any pictures.

    Second ones are taken when we took holiday in Bandung right after I was positively pregnant. We went from our parent’s house after Ied Mubarak. So we can tell that my pregnancy was like a gift from Allah after Ramadhan :).

    First trimester of pregnancy, walked some distance while had bad cough :). We went to Orchid Forest, Farm House, Creative HUB building, and Alun-alun Bandung.

    Last ones are pictures when we were in Balikpapan till we moved to Jakarta. The funny thing is, I didn’t have baby bump as big as other people, except in my third trimester pregnancy. And it happened when we officially move to Jakarta, until she is born :).

  • Few weeks later after my wedding ceremony, many of my friends asked me about details of the ceremony. Questions about who did my make-up, how I designed my gown, the preparation, etc. The most question is about the gown, because I was adding veils above the gown to cover my chest.

    Actually it was request from my husband, because he didn’t want me to wear tight gown that can show the shape of my body. Since I wasn’t planning to wear abaya (long and loose dress that usually used by Muslimah), so I asked the designer to add some veils that can disguise my shape. And it’s totally work. I love both of the gowns, the white traditional gown for ceremony and the brown-gold one for reception.

    While for the make-up and hijab, I used a local make-up artist that already have good experience and reputation in my hometown. The management is still conventional, but the work has a professional quality. The make-up artist and designer of my gowns is the same person anyway. He is great, isn’t it? And for your information, you can asked the MUA to not shave your eyebrow if you don’t want to. As for Muslimah it’s principal, so it’s very important to get a person who can understand and respect of what you need, even it’s unusual.

    I show youΒ all the details in this post, including some information about wedding planner, photographer, and others in case you want to use the same organizer and vendor for your important moment (you can check it on Instagram).
