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.
