Its strangely…. normal.
The wedding was… fantastic.
I was in office till 18 hours before the wedding. I bought the shoes while en route to the parlor. I was late for my appointment, of course. Then I left the shoes in the car. My pen slipped while signing the papers because it was a brand I never use- its really hard to write with. Why didnt anyone think of this before?!? Ah details!
But then … everything fell into place at the right time and went the way we wanted it to… more or less. No extra frills, no extra traditions… and no fake posey photoshoot.
I feel like I’ve been married forever.
Boring, or what! Heh hehehe…
AlHamduLillah …
The view from behind my specs... 
CONGRATULATIONS! 😀
Thanks, puttar 🙂
Congratulations!!!!!! Do we get to see any pics?????
Thank you, Elena!
I’m still at the in-laws so we’ll see about the pictures when I get back home and have time to sort stuff out etc.
Congratulations! So happy for you.
Love to see some pictures, too!
Thanks TAsmiya!
Will get on to the pictures in a week or so 🙂
Congratulations, Specs! 🙂
(I have noted down the use of proper pen for future reference.)
Thank you!
And yes, it was a picasso, can you imagine! I never write with that even in office and I couldn’t hold it properly when signing. I had to stop mid-flourish to make a ‘correction’ 😉
yay 🙂
🙂
Many congratulations. I’ve been checking every day to see if there’s a new post from you, and now there is. I hope you have a long and happy married life, with no more than the usual amount of ups and downs( cos you will have them, don’t believe anyone who says you won’t!).
Thanks Ayesha, sorry about the late update
Well, that has been my experience with marriage so far- no one knows what its like. Every couple is different, ever person is unique- just like friendship, there are no rules about love. You take your own decisions, follow your own gut and it turns out okay.
Boht, boht mubarak ho, Specs! I am so happy for you! I was worried about your shoes all this time, LOL.
PS: Next time someone asks for some wedding advice, we better remind them to buy a pen beforehand.
Yeah can you imagine no one thought of the pen!
Thank you Nadia. I thought of you many times through the day and I wish you were there… missed you!
Awww, that is so sweet of you! I pray for your happiness all the time ((hugs))
Thank you, Sister! *muah*
OMG OMG!! CONGRATULATIONS~!~! :’)
Thanks Gaia… OMG OMG was my first reaction too, hehehe
Congratulations! 🙂 Aren’t u supposed to be on your honeymoon with those CFA text books? 😛 And spill some of the details of the wedding please! 🙂
We were both so exhausted we decided on no honeymoon.

Congratulations! Alf wa alf mubarak! I’m so excited for you. May your marriae be blessed with health and shared happiness! Thinking of you. 🙂

Thank you, Achelois 🙂 You’re one of the people I really wanted to invite over- had you been in Pakistan, an invite would’ve been headed your way, for sure!

Tsk Tsk, Mubi. See how I outmatch your expectations every time (refer to your recent facebook comment) 😛
I’m so happy for you I could pangra XD
Aww tubby wubby 🙂
Congratulations!!! I was expecting a huge difference to something after I got married, wasn’t sure what it would be but I could almost feel a huge difference coming on. Yet after a few days of marriage I still had the same personality, flaws and laughter. I was a little disappointed my laughter becomes a shriek that I can’t control when I laugh too much but hey the husband sees to like it!
Really hope you have a long and happy life together.
(Ymiss)
Aw, thank you, YMiss 🙂
Having the same flaws does bother me a bit too, hehehehe 🙂

Miss Specs, now your a Mrs!
Congrats hun! I am so happy for you. *Throws flowers on you and your new hubby*
Sorry I couldn’t be their, but I’m sure it was a wonderful occasion and thanks for the tip about the pen! And glad the ceremony went the way you wanted it to. That’s the hardest part I think, getting the ceremony without the frills and rasams.
Wishing you a long and happy married life Inshallah!
Wow, thanks for the flowers 😀 *picks flowers out of hair*
The ceremonies definitely make it too hard, grrr!!
Thank you for the good wishes and Ameen to them!
CONGRATULATIONS!! 😀
Bohat bohat Mubarak ho, Specs! 😀 Im sooo happy for you! 😀 (((hugs)))
Alhamdulilah, glad everything went well. So, common spill spill spill. We want all the deets 😀 & the pictures!
May the Almighty keep you both happy and safe. May you have a long and happy married life, ameeen 😀
Ok, if I smile once more my jaw is gonna crack.
Thank you, Smiley! 🙂
Ameen to all the good wishes. Love you and missed you there. Were you in Pk, you could’ve made it! But oh well, see you there now, Insha’Allah.
Congrats. Did you keep the pen as keepsake? 🙂
Married life when boring = good!
Nooo, the guy had to sign the papers after me so they whisked the pen away. 😦
Really @ boring. Wow that’s … boring.
Congratulations.
Wow, you make it seem so unglamorous. 😛
Thanks, Nahl 🙂
And er, yes, it kind of IS unglamorous. I was doing laundry 3 days after getting married 😛

Aww, thank you, Feesa! did you like the card? don’t let Bobs fool you- all three of you were ‘officially’ invited! 🙂

Oh, er *shifty eyes* … but you were in Amreeka.
yeah and im the only one that would have actually come!
just joking about the invitation, i’ll come meet you when you come to UK with Boba and Feesa.
Feeling like you’ve been married forever very shortly after the wedding is very normal, I assure you! lol.
Very many congratulations to you! 😀
Oh well then. I’m normal 😦 Sad. I thought it’d be all exciting and whatnot but this is so routine! Good to know it isn’t only me who feels this anti-climax, hehehe.

Lol, definately!!! Any idea which part of England? Keep me posted, you have my email address xx
Oh London, it is. But seeing as there are so many relatives there, we’ll be running all over the place every weekend at least trying to get the introduce-the-new-bride/groom visits done with.
Congratulations
Thank you, Khadija!
Haha i felt like I’ve been always married to even before my walima 😀
Good that it all went fine .. can I see glimpses of wedding? puhleeeeeeeeeeezzz
Lots of love and best wishes for the future ❤
LOL@ feeling that way before the Walima… Oh goodness, it really is good to know I’m not the only one, 🙂
I’ll put up some pictures once I can catch a breath… too frustratingly busy these days, grrr!
Thank you for the good wishes! *love*
oh and the weather is getting better and better in UK so I’m sure U’ll come in good weather 🙂 dont opt winters to drop in 🙂
I hope it doesn’t come to that. I really want it to be June so I can enjoy the heat-less summer.
Oh and bijli-shedding-less too!
would be perfect 🙂
I do hate the sun in here though .. it gives you severe headache
Really? I thought everyone was all ❤ ❤ ❤ for the sun there.
Ah well, good thing it rains 200+ days a year, hehehe.
Congrats!!!!
Thank you, SV!
oh girl, uh uhhhhhh no honeymoon!? u gotta be kidding.. I DONT SINK SO
U HAVE to have a honeymoon cause when you get right into married life, in laws, and then babies you will BOTH REGRET and RUE the day you said no to a honeymoon. Dont be such cheapskates! LOL at least go to Vegas or something! Even if its in a few months time but do it BEFORE babies cause im sure youll have a dozens of cuties hehe.
congratulations God Bless! I hope it all goes well and that your new life will be happy and joyous
lolz @ “at least vegas” … I dont think a trip to vegas would be anything but “at least” 😛
Just couldnt resist commenting 😉
lol i dont know im not american hhaa but she gotta have something to remember before she starts been mama and changing diapers and barely ever being able to go out to a restaurant for a nice meal without it becoming a major project that requires planning for 2 months before it happens lol
Oh I agree with this. Its just that his parents are abroad too and his dad was leaving a week after the wedding so it didn’t seem appropriate to me to be away from what was the first time the whole family was together in years.
We’re thinking of doing something later… there’s the whole of Europe to explore!
Firstly – congratulations! I know I’m late, sorry… but me so so happy for you 🙂
Secondly – in all that exploration of Europe spirit, consider yourself invited to Croatia 🙂
Thirdly – I can’t wait for you to come to England to read your witty posts about getting used to new life. I have a feeling they’re gonna be hilarious 🙂 Hopefully by that time me too would be moving there. Keep your fingers crossed! 🙂
I’m just thinking Vegas… and then trying to fit in the two boring people we are into that scene… and it just doesn’t work, LoL
Oooh, marti- Thank you for the lovely invite and the good wishes. And I don’t care about England as much as I care about being together again… 😦
Yayyy!!!
Am so happy for you. Mabrook, May Allah bless you both with loads and loads of Happiness 🙂 🙂 Ameen 🙂
Thank you Mariyas, and Ameen!!
got a new site x
See you there!
xoxo
*Note to self* carry a pen. Got it!
Congratulations and best wishes for a wonderful life together to you and hubby! 🙂
LOL, its good to know I’ve managed to remind so many about-to-be-married friends about the little things that make weddings difficult- like pens that won’t stop slipping. Hehehe.
Thank you for the good wishes!!
OH MY GOD YOU GOT MARRIED! I know this is late, but, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Thank you, Anonymously Secret! 🙂 And naaah, its never too late!
Wao, missed this! Congratulations! 🙂
