Love is a leap of Faith.The 'supposedly' wedding speech...

The best of you...Are those who are best to their wives
- Prophet Muhammad S.A.W

Woman was created not from man's feet, Where she would be below him.. Nor from a man's head, where she would be above him.. Rather she was created from his rib which is next to him, to be equal to him.. Under his arm to be protected by him And next to his heart to be loved by him..

First and foremost,Alhamdulillah, I thank the almighty for making all these things possible. And I hope you two newlyweds...and all the other couples out there will never forget to thank Him for each moment you get to spend with your other half.
When you look at your loved ones...how beautiful/handsome they are,how amazing...or how perfect they seem to you. Imagine, He who created your other half and how He must be like...
I hope each day ..til death do you part,you will never forget to thank Him,for making it all possible in the first place.As without Him, Izham wouldnt be with Irina today,just as Eve wouldnt have been created for Adam.And just as Khadijah wouldnt have crossed path with Muhammad saw..

Love can be define in various ways. As to my 22 years of life,I've witnessed all kinds of love and even experienced some of them myself.And theres no doubt to the fact love needs sacrifice. A whole lot of 'em.

A mother may gather all the strength she can ,and dress up even if she can't hardly stand...just to make sure shes there for her the happiest day of her child's life,her wedding day.

A father who burnt the midnight oil to sow a curtain for his little girl's room,with the fabric of her favourite colour just to see a smile on the daughter's face when she returns after leaving home for months..

Siblings who never gave up faith searching for one another after 21years without news...Though hope is frail and chances are thin. They never give up with the belief that one day,the family will be complete..again.

Even a friend, who took the train from one end to the other to come to help for YOUR sister's wedding preparation, who only had few hours of sleep. Spending the night in house full of strangers she never met before.

The kind of love Abu Bakar As-Siddiq had for his bestmate,Muhammad s.a.w when he was stung repeatedly by snakes and refused to make even a slight movement..afraid of waking up the beloved prophet whos fast asleep,resting his head on Sayidina Abu Bakar's knee..

The crazy things people do,the un-thinkable things we do in the name of Love.

Loving someone,til your overlook all their weaknesses...all their flaws. That the hurt and pain they've caused you,it didn't matter...
Caring for another being soo much that you didn't care if you gt hurt,that you had to sacrifice, be self-less,putting others' need beyond your own..as long as that other person is happy,then you know you'll be alright.
Because they mean the world to you. Their existence is what makes yours,worthwhile.

But sometimes...just as the beautiful leaves of spring would leave the trees,and soon giving us ice cold,gloomy winter. Love also can be very...winter-ish.
Sometimes, you need to let go of the sun,and make way for rain...to find the rainbow in the end...

Its like having to save a sleeping loved one from a burning house.
Would you serenade him/her and say nice,beautiful things to make 'em wake up and leave the house to save their lives...
Or would you do anything..anything at all to save 'em?
Even if it means carrying them on your back..even if they weigh tons..
Even if it means hitting them,or kicking them on the sides to wake them up..
Even if you have to push them out of the window and cause them/yourself injury
just to save their life...

Sometimes people have to hurt you to protect you/save you...

And last but not least...Love is also about learning to let go...
Sometimes the younger sister have to learn to let her elder sis go and pursue marriage life..even if it means boring weekend and gossip-free/pillow talk-free nights...

Bro Izham and my beloved sister Irina..I hope your home would always be filled with love and blessings from the Big Guy.And I also hope you wouldnt be wasting your time bickiering and pulling face at one another because of silly misunderstandings...cause nobody can predict the future..and we'll never know when we might loose our loved ones.People only realize what they've got til its gone..And I wish both of you wont have to go through that..
Know that how lucky you are to be able to spend your days with eachother...To be waking up in eachother's arm..To see that smile on each others face..
and to know that you're never alone to face the world..

I wish that you bring out the best in one another...and look after each other..and guide one another to get the best reward of life and the hereafter...Hereafter..whe

re 'forever' actually means something..

And Izham a.k.a Optimus...I hope you'll never hurt her.Cause if you do...then you know Im not kidding bout the 3 samurai sword displayed in our living room..If you hurt her..you hurt me too
(not too mention the whole clan.And knowing our family..I know you wouldnt want to get on our dark side...lol)
And to Irina,my kakak or even sometimes my adik...I love you with all my heart.
You're my sister... therefore one part of me...
And NOBODY can ever change that.
I hope that both of you will live your life without regrets cause you truly deserve each other.

Someone once reminded me..
Take a risk.Dare to move.Love is a leap of faith.

A LEAP OF FAITH.

Salam wbt.
Selamat Pengantin Baru..
