just hours from forever

At 6pm today, my world changes its orbit.
And I’m ready for it.


A grand prize of a bottle of fennel sweets wrapped in not-so-ghagha goldish organza will be dispatched to the first person to spot 5g33k’s initial in the henna pattern.

    awesomeness.

    that is too amazing for words.

    didn’t find the initial.

    just stared for about half an hour.

  19. Dreamlife March 18, 2008 at 5:39 am #

    Congratulations, and welcome to the club :)

    May Allah bless, guide and protect the 2 of you; and make all your days and nights of service to Him…u know, the potential for ibadah just increases so much when u marry – really amazing :)

    we’re nearly 5 months in now, and it truly is amazing to be as settled as we are. like, once you’re past the initial stages of getting totally comfy with each other, and settling in to your new home and new life….it’s just incredible. a dream come true, every single day, alhamdullilah :)

    keep your Creator at the centre of your life, and nurture that relationship by striving – together – in your deen. the benefits are not only for yourselves, but your future family too, insha-Allah…in this life and the next.

    all the best to you :)

  20. Blue Sunflower March 17, 2008 at 2:25 pm #

    Congratulations….

    May the two of you always find love, understanding and respect.

    All the best…
