I know I probably won't be able to talk much with you guys next weekend either since y'all will be too busy being married but I'm definitely looking forward to seeing both you in your pengantin gear, and I pray that everything will turn out fantastically for the both of you as well!
And guys (especially you, Aisyah)... STOP FREAKING OUT. With Saiful Imran SID Events behind the scenes as your wedding planners, I'm sure your event will be a glorious beautiful success! If not, let me know and I'll get the word out at lightning speed. Ha. ha. ha. ha. ha.
Speaking of Saiful Imran SID Events as wedding planners, I think it's about time I do a quick entry about a wedding I attended and have been wanting to blog about... which was successfully handled by them! I've seen the bride herself (Oh hey, how's married life treatin' ya, Nurul! Hehe.) rave about the services rendered by her wedding vendors and I must say, it translated well into her Singapore wedding reception that I attended earlier this year (The bride married a Malaysian, so they had wedding receptions in Malaysia and Singapore)

(If you prefer moving pictures, video of Nurul and Zhafri's wedding reception in Singapore here.)
The reception decor was clean and lawa and as a guest, I felt very comfortable because there was ample space and the right amount of air-conditioning at the venue. We (meaning my mat and I) thought the area with the hanging chandelier (I have got to find out what that thing is called, damnit) created a very nice cozy feel when we first stepped into the venue and we liked that the colour template went well with the colours of the venue. Very classy, very SID. They're definitely your people if you want beautifully executed white weddings or white-based weddings, guys!
I must also say that the food was fab! The last time I ate wedding food from Maria's Le Caterer was yearsss ago so it was good to be able to taste their food once again. The variety was fantastic, the nasi was just right and the rest of the lauk pauk tasted good... although I thought the ayam masak merah lacked flavour (bear in mind I'm very fussy about ayam masak merah - this is what happens when you love your own mum's ayam masak merah too much hur hur hur - so far I have not tasted any ayam masak merah that I find up to par to my selera from any wedding receptions I've attended). There were more hits than misses with the desserts so I don't think the taste will disappoint your guests, but if you're looking for a super duper prettified dessert table, you're better off engaging providers like Dessert Artisans or Ola Lola, because Maria's Le Caterer's dessert table setup is pretty standard (very teratur but not prettified, prettified, you know?).
(It's a damn shame that one of their staff was rude to me via email and that experience completely turned me off from them, really. Friends have told me the owner herself seems nice enough though, so if you're interested to engage them, rest assured that the food is good... just hope you don't have to encounter the same staff member who attended to me!)
Will blog about Elvy's wedding next after the official pictures and videos are out on Facebook! In the meantime, some unofficial pictures bumped from Nour Weddings and my personal Instagram:
Off to wash my laundry now, maklumlah nak jadi isteri orang kena tau buat household chores jugak, bukan asyik nak blogging pasal weddings aje.
