oh hai, tok kadi! (part ll)

 After I wrote yesterday's entry about tok kadi booking, I thought that was the end of it.

Saliheen and I had accepted that our #1 choice tok kadi Ustaz Mohd Khair is not available on our wedding date so we decided on Ustaz Mohd Suhaimi instead - what else is there to it except wait for our wedding day to see our tok kadi in person, right?

So I blogged about our experience, continued doing my work, left office at the end of the day and went home. Same old, same old, right? Well, not quite. Because one hour and a half later, I received this notification in my email inbox:

 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED I WAS????? 

But obviously not as excited as my mat because when I called to tell him about the turn of events, he started shrieking and insisting that we apply for change of solemnizer on the ROMM website now now NOW -____- 

Dude refused to listen to me when I told him to call Ustaz Mohd Khair the next morning first to ask whether it really is possible SO to shut him up, I opened up the Change Solemnization Details application on ROMM website to do the necessary. Realized I couldn't do it because Ustaz Mohd Khair tak bukak any slots for November 2013 so my mat was forced to calm the eff down and wait until the next morning to ask the Ustaz.

Sooooo earlier today, my mat called Ustaz Mohd Khair to inform him that our wedding will be on a public holiday and asked whether he will be working... to which he laughed and said no, and told us to give him five minutes to open up a slot for us.

Five minutes later...

 YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!

Now we not only can haz a tok kadi, we CAN HAZ OUR #1 CHOICE TOK KADI!!!!!

Sure, we had to pay $15 for making a change to our application but what is $15 as compared to having Ustaz Mohd Khair, who is our #1 choice tok kadi, preside at our nikah proceedings?!?!?! Definitely worth more than a mere $15, if you ask us. Woohoo!

Oh, but can someone tell my mamat not to be such a freak and hantar this kind of text:

Wahlau, must declare love and fangirlism segala...

But lolz aside, we really must give special thanks to Sis Haida actually - thank you so so so much because if not for your comment, we wouldn't have made the move to try asking Ustaz Mohd Khair again whether he can open up his slot on our wedding date.

And of course, all praises to the Al-Mighty for giving us this rezeki, Alhamdullilah! This is yet another incident that strengthens our faith in Qada and Qadar - you see, my mat and I were pretty bummed when Deepavali was changed from 3rd November 2013 (Sunday) to 2nd November 2013 (Saturday) because that change meant we wouldn't have a public holiday on Monday and will have to apply leave for Monday instead. 

Little did we know, that change turned out to be a momentous blessing in disguise - now that Deepavali (public holiday) is on our wedding date, Ustaz Khair can be our solemnizer when he wouldn't be able to do so if it was on any other working Saturday mornings.

Never fails to amaze us how God will give us our rezeki if it is indeed meant to be ours.
