I
haven’t blogged in a while between a very slow, dodgy laptop and life being so
busy. I find that when I have lots to share and it will take ages, it puts me off
from starting. So, to catch up, rather
than long blog posts, I thought would share a few pictures of what has been
going on with a few words. Hopefully that will help clear my head to write
something more interesting insh’Allah 😊
You
can also keep up with everything on my Instagram page, and via my Insta stories – I
have a lot of fun capturing things for this, and it feels much easier to engage
with sisters in this way.
My
cousin’s wedding was just before Eid and we had a lot of fun dressing up,
eating good food and catching up with family.
The bride was beautiful – her make up was perfect and I loved that she
had a bog smile on her face the whole day and didn’t let anything bother her
mash’Allah.
Interestingly,
there was a party in another hall at the same venue for a Pakistani film
launch, so some of the actor’s randomly came up for a photoshoot…
My
outfit from Malika Boutique, really nice quality and really reasonable.
Got
the boys kurtay in the colour scheme of jewel tones. Of course they insisted on wearing them with
their trainers.
Henna
on the brides little sister:
All
of the guys:
The
ladies: my mum, sisters, sister-in-law and daughter. We joked we looked like the Power Puff girls with the red, blue and green.
Lots
of nice details and the cakes were a feast for the eyes, I never actually got
to taste any!
I
thought the wedding favours were a nice touch – pure, local honey and Zamzam
water:
Lots
of good food:
This
fruit tree got demolished – the little ones were making mini fruit kebabs for
themselves.
The
bride looked like a doll, may Allah SWT keep her always happy, smiling and
contented insh’Allah.
Pakistani
actors promoting their film Paray Hut Love (Maya Ali and Sheheryar Munawar):
It
was mostly a nice wedding, with a lot of good cheer and wishes for the bride
and groom. It says something about their
lovely natures that not one person in the room could have wanted anything but
the best for them.
I
did struggle at this wedding with the bad behaviour of a very small number of
people. I had to keep my mouth firmly
shut and my tongue polite, because I don’t believe in causing drama at other people’s
weddings. As my siblings know I can be
very fierce and for all of my love and kindness, there is a side of me that
will rain down lightning and thunderstorms on your head if you cross a line
with me. So I had to reign that side in
and be on my best behaviour despite the rudeness and unkindness of a few
others.
Well
the wedding is over now, and I don’t have to be nice if I don’t want to 😊
