being mrs. a

i've been wanting to write for a while, but the internet connection... ow well, i've blamed the internet connection in this place too many times already.  but i come to you with a good news.  remember about 8 months ago, i wrote an entry about being 29 and single (if you don't remember here's the link: 29 & single) well, still 29, but not single anymore.  i found a guy who is worth fighting for, and he gave me the coolest bling a woman can have.


the way i fell for him is just unconventional, i mean, i never really fell for someone like that.  from the moment i saw him, i knew,  he's the man who will ruined my plan, for being single and unattached for the next five years.

he came on february 27, 2012, six days after my infamous 29 & single entry.  i remember to the date the first time i saw him.  i wish i had written the time.  but i all i knew it was a little after 8 am.  i sat there, still confident that my life will go according to plan, all of the sudden, i saw him.  standing there, well actually sitting, so raggedy, scruffy, and somewhat broken.  i have never said this to myself about anyone, but i hope to god that he was single.  well if he's not, there goes my luck, and let's go back to our 5-year-plan.  as my luck would have it, he just ended his relationship about maybe two days before i see him.  i don't believe in coincidences, just random occurrences, but i don't know what you made of this.

ever since that day, my go back and forth about my 5-year plan and him.  i know it's weird right? i mean, comparing a man with an abstract plan.  but if you have a track record with a man like i do, you'd do the same :)

anyway, there were several occasions when i thought i should draw back and just forget my feelings.  but i guess it was faith, or destiny, whatever it is, i can't seem to escape him.  on april 20th, we went on our first date, well it's a bit unconventional for a date, but it was sure memorable.  i found it was easy to talk to him, i mean, i don't have to put up any character with him, i was me.

but still, our relationship status was not really stated, i mean, i didn't know who i was for him.  but a trip to solo confirmed it.  as he told some random lady who tried to hook up her daughter with him that he has a girlfriend, and the girlfriend is sitting next to him (which was yours truly).  That was some night :)

From that point on, our relationship seemed to hit the fast track.  the thing was, i was not scared like i was before.  i'm just looking forward for my life with him, cooking for him, waking up next to him.

we got engaged on august 26th 2012, and we set a date for november 4th.  the preparation was hectic.  i mean, i planned weddings before, but mine, i want it to be mine :) with all my touches and stuff.  so with our busy schedule, i still insisted i don't need wedding organizer.

yeah it was tiring, but i got everything i wished for.  like the band, which was excellent, provided by this talented violinist Ardiles Septuaginta, i highly recommended him, you can contact him at violinist_guy@yahoo.com or just contact him on facebook by that name.  my dresses was beautifully made, and it was designed by my wonderful cousin, rara pradnya nindita (@rarapradnyaw) and made by dany boutique.  and i can't get over the fact that the batik were perfect, which i handpicked myself from mahkota batik, laweyan solo (highly recommended, they're really helpful!!)

anyway... it was a great day, perfect to every single little details, including the man on my arms (which is the highlight of it all).  now, as i walked into the room, dark at night, he's already asleep, and i saw something glistened on his finger.  i kept thinking, mine, for life, and i will never be alone anymore.
