Grow Life
Save Life
Love Life
     That quote was our wedding theme. It was printed in our eco-bag souvenirs. Now, we experiencing a new growing life. Yeah, thanks to Allah, we'll gonna have a baby. We were so excited and happy when knowing that the test is positive. This was the best gift in our wedding. 
     The first sign of the gift is I haven't got my menstruation for 2 weeks. Then I got sick and feel weak. I'm refuse my husband's suggestion to have a test because I'm afraid it will be negative just like the test before. But, surprisingly the test was positive.

     The next day we visit a doctor to perform a clinical examination. We went to the Muhammadiyah clinic. There we meet with the obstetrician, Edi Fuziantoro. The doctor examining my pregnancy using ultrasonography machine. And when I saw my baby picture on the screen, I felt so wonderful. . . a new life, growing inside me. . .

     Now, as a pregnant woman, I'm the newbie. I feel sick and weak. Not as usual, I have no appetite. I have to force my self to eat.
     I got vitamin from doctor, and I have to keep eating for my baby. Hopefully my baby grow well and healthy.


    For the wedding souvenirs we think about something that useful and contain a message. I think about an EcoBag. A multifunctional bag that made from canvas fabric to promote reducing plastic bag. 
    At first I still confuse with the design, but suddenly I got an idea. The concept is a tree of our dreams. The tree represent something that live and give life. The tree contain our dreams,passions, and expertise. 
Love Life
In that tree there are several pictures. 
House: our dream house
Love: full of love and love for all
Bee: our purpose to be a benefit human beings
Smile: full of smile
Book: learn for live and live for learn
Japan icon: represent our passion for japan and dream to be there someday, and also represent my wedding gift
Water molecule: living a fresh life
Sunflower: my favorite flower, represent the cheerful, spirit, and admiration
Camera: Argentum's favorite item as his passion in photography
DNA : icon for me as biology teacher
Erlenmeyer: icon for Argentum as Chemistry teacher
Ag Al : Argentum for Agus Galih, Alumina for Alfiyah


the back side of EcoBag, SejutaKebahagiaan 
We design the concept together, me and Argentum #memories
We put a quote in our design, 
grow life
save life
love life
And we also put our wish for our LOA, Sejuta Kebahagiaan, mean a thousand happiness.
The Ecobag for my wedding souvenirs



About the wedding gift, once Argentum asked me. Since that, I think hard of it. Something for my wedding gift. Something special, remarkable, unique, not damning him, everlasting, and meaningful. Then, I know what I want for my wedding gift. I asked him 2000 yen for the gift, and as my expectation he said yes.. :) #happy


Then he got that 2000 yen by the help from a friend. He was work in Japan, and on June 2011 he went home. So Argentum had an opportunity to get the 2000 yen from Japan. #special


Well, actually it is not just about 2000 yen. This 2000 yen has a deep meaning. For us, for me especially.
The 2000 came from 1000 and 1000. 1000 represent me that has 1000 happiness, and 1000 represent him that also has 1000 happiness. By our union within this marriage, we hope our happiness multiply many times until become a million of happiness.  The number 2 also has a special meaning. He declare his love on 2 January, then we engaged on 2nd month, February. 


Then this is it, the 2000 yen created by Argentum. Full of my favorite sunflower, with honey bee, and our picture with happy smile. . #so sweet


The Wedding Gift from Argentum
  


It is a soft white cream kebaya. It made from a gentle fabric with a gorgeous pattern. I'm in love with it in the first sight. My sister in-law, Cuwiling, graciously sewed my wedding dress and sprinkled beads and shimmering sequins on it. That's make my kebaya more glowing.

The Dress
I wear the dress combined by cute batik I bought in Jogja. It is a batik with modern pattern. Parang pattern combined with heart shape in green and orange color, our favorite color. 
The veil is made from soft tulle fabric and decorated by rod glittery sequins. . . so beautiful. 
The Batik, Veil, and Bandana
For the accecories, I used the the bandana made from remain fabric of my kebaya. I pick certain pattern that match with the veil. I also wear a broche that was a modification from an earring. 


Finally, after waiting long enough. 3 days after my arrival from Malaysia, Friday, November 25, 2011, came the day. The day  when I become the main actor. The day that my face could not stop smiling. The day when my sparkle dreams blend into reality. My happy day. 
My wedding with the man I love. . . Barakallah. . .

The Pray
I am also happy because everyone happy. Now I was the wife of a man named Agus Galih.

Everything felt so beautiful in a simple wedding ceremony, at my house. With family and closest friends. . . 

Thank You, for me is perfect happiness. . .
