Me…him...& a ring!

Finally! I’m taking a VERY big step into adulthood. On the 20th Oct 2007, I’m finally being booked *as our matchmaker had said*

Who is the matchmaker…none other than Mark. The lucky guy is of course; my sayang K!

Basically, his side will come over to my house for majlis merisik. Back in the day, its done coz the future bride and groom don’t get to meet each other; you’ll probably get married to a stranger. So the guy side will come over and ask whether “bunga di rumah sudah dipetik” which means whether the girl is promised to anyone yet. By the way, the phrase “bunga di rumah sudah dipetik” is NOT used in actual event OK!

This means K and his family will come over to my house. To ask whether my family is ok with the relationship and so on. Of course, my family already thinks K is part of the family so “merisik” is done only as a part of tradition/custom. We already bought the ring for merisik.

Last Sunday, we bought the engagement rings as well. So we are set.

Merisik…bertunang (engagement)…..berkahwin (marriage).
