GET WED

1st November 2008, was a big moment in my life. MARRIED AT LAST.

I married to a beautiful girl named Sri Rezeki Juliana Sihotang in Medan, North Sumatera after we first met a year ago in Jakarta. Initially, this wedding was not planned in this year but I do not know why I just suddenly proposed her on one vacation in Bandung four months ago. Since she agreed with my proposal, then this wedding preparations began.

The wedding preparations were done discreetly without involving anybody in the office. The aim was I am giving my colleagues in the office and old friends with a huge surprise. This plan worked so perfectly. My friends and colleagues rang me and screamed out loud on the phone when they received my wedding the invitation in their hand. To be honest, I like this moment! This would be one of big surprises in my life. I look forward for another surprises. Just wait and see.

Surprisingly, my colleagues in the office appeared in the church (Gereja Protestan Persekutuan) during foto session as well as my old friends were in attendance during my wedding reception. Big thanks to you guys who supported me much on this wedding ceremony. Thanks!

The ceremony itself done so well even me and Sri were tied up with a very long and exhausted traditional ceremonial "Adat Batak" where hundreds of traditional "Ulos" -the manifestation of blessings - were received from our both families.

Even we had no chance yet for a "true" honeymoon after the wedding ceremony, but we were so happy being together during the last 2 weeks in Medan. We will arrange for our honeymoon later.

A day before we left Medan and back to Bogor where I live, we went to "Arian Boho" - a tiny little place somewhere in Samosir Island, to go to Sri's father's cemetery. I enjoyed myself during trip there as I was going to a new place where I never been there before. We struggled with the bad road's condition and a “6 hours” dusty journey.

We are now living in Bogor where the city has no endless rainy season.

HOME SWEET HOME!
