Ok what else to write after the first event of the "Wedding of The Year" yesterday if not that. Congratulations to Siti Nurhaliza (CT) and Datuk Khalid (DK) and hope that your happiness will go on for years to come.
Personally, I wasn't very keen on the wedding. Together with many Malaysians I felt angry on behalf of DK's ex-wife and dissapointed in CT's choice of husband. I was laughing with others when there was a hilarious and slandering song made on their behalf, or a vicious joke told of them or pictures of DK's children (in this case only 1 child) showing the low morality amongst teenagers and smirking at CT's statement of how she fell for DK's love for his children (or something like that la).
But then I thought back, CT must have thought about this through and through. I mean, I've always thought her as a bright young lady. She must know that her decicion would effect her popularity and her personal life. But most importantly it does not effect ME personally. I don't have anything to lose. She can mary the king for all I care, that's her decision. So I stopped sladering her and reserved my judgements.
Comments on her engagement and akad nikah yesterday? Well, I think it was a simple occasion. Yes, there were hundreds of reporters and VIPs but that was only expected. After all CT is Malaysia's No.1 singer and DK is a succesful businessman and a "Datuk" to boot. Fine, some of you may say they (the reporters) are making this a big hoopla; more than what a prince or princess usually gets. But how many "anak raja" do you know is an idol to the community? Ok maybe Raja Nazrin is, but he's taking his own sweet time to get to the altar that everybody is half giving up on him! What I meant by simple was that there wasn't anything overboard like the Sultan of Brunei's son's wedding; everything was gold they almost blinded the guests (hehe, just kidding!!).
OK, CT's dress was really nice. Hats off to Radzuan Raziwill for his beautifully gorgeous creation. One thing I don't particularly care for was the tiara on top of a tudung clad woman. It just doesn't go. Wrong style I think. But I have to say that at first, when they brought in the hantaran, I was quite dissapointed. The colour was so bland. The tray, the cloth lining the tray and the hantaran themselves are the same colour and they sort of merge so you can barely distinguish what they were. But when I saw what the hantaran contains in the papers today.... WOW! No wonder the hantaran didn't need further embelishments. The presents were really something. Names like Chopard, Louis Vuitton, Roger Dubuis and Bvlgari were something alright! They are classy names. That's what I thought the wedding was like... simple but real classy.
I didn't expect the mas kahwin and wang hantaran to be RM52,222 only. I had expected it to be in the hundreds of thousands. I remembered another artiste, Ifa Raziah, stated that whoever wants to mary her must bring with him wang hantaran of RM100,000. And she wasn't in the A-list!! She finally got married but I don't know how much the wang hantaran was.. don't really care anyway.
So let's hope CT and DK's wedding is what they hope it would be like. If CT's popularity should drop after this, then she has no one to blame but herself. Well there are still all those receptions going on next week and the week after. I hope these won't be overboard and spoiling the start of a classy wedding.
But while all of this is going on, my heart goes out to a little 8 year old boy in Melbourne, whose probably confused and angry, wondering why his parents are not together anymore and why his family is becoming the talk of town.
