19 July was Nika's wedding in Hotel Borobudur. Me and Andra went to the morning ceremony at the church where we got the task to bring the gifts before the eucharist ceremony..with none of us actually attending the rehearsal!! :p oh well at least it went ok, its a small but nice ceremony in the catholic church near my house. I realised tht actually the church ceremony is more moving compared to the reception party at night. Later on we (thia, me, andra & yaya) went to Hotel Borobudur.. We all left from Yaya's becos my sense of direction in Jakarta is so bad if it concerns the jakarta kota part where the hotel is located, so yeah better leave it to Yaya & Thia who knows how to get there best. It was a slightly different wedding receptions. Where here people used to have grand weddings, where the groom and bride stood up in the platform in a big ballroom and endless guests come and go to congratulate them..Nika & Decky's wedding was indeed different. It was a small, yet intimate and cosy celebration. Involving only main families and close friends, in a much smaller place as well. I would say it was a bit like sweet 17-ish style of party mixed with a bit more wedding-ish atmosphere. The dj, band and all are all Nika's good friends. Plus scattered around the room were mementos, snapshots and small bits of thingies that were owned by Nika and Decky which they collected during their three-years relationship..like the 1st valentine present Decky gave to Nika, snapshots of their photos, small bits of written things from him to her or vice versa..There was also a 'wishing tree' where all the guests who came wrote their blessings to the couple on scraps of papers and tied it to the 'tree' branches for them to read later on.
After dinner, Nika, Decky and their parents also gave talks.. mainly expressing wht they feel and also Nika being Nika :p was able to make us laugh when it was her turn to confess what she felt.
So happy for you both guys :) :) :) !!
