Another Indian friend, Jess joined their group shooting

Around 2pm, Akad Nikah was started.I observed Akad Nikah done by the Allifah's father in the presence of religious officials.

Akad Nikah started with the groom sitting on the round mattress facing the religious officer.They hold their hand in the form of handshake. The religious officer say the words to the groom and the groom will reply

Then, bridegroom and bride received the briefing given by the religious officer about the rights and responsibilities as a married couple from the Islamic perspective.

Next, the groom did Muslim "Solah Syukur", prayer as appreciate Allah on the successful Nikah proceedings and seek guidance on his new status as a husband

The groom signed the marriage contract and agree to provide bridegroom "Mas Kahwin" in the form of money and goods.

Mas Kahwin

Congratulations!!!

 we were invited to have our late lunch at the front house of Bridegroom

JoJo and me received Egg Flower (Bunga Telur)

At last, sent JoJo's cheerful photo to everyone !

I'm quite impressed with JoJo's determination in attending her friend's wedding although consumed much of her savings. She was sincere in giving the blessing for her 4 years engineering friend regardless of different of races, culture and background.

When the Akad Nikah proceeding was done, she told me her heart was fulled, tears of joy flowed. She was in touch with Allifah's wedding. I looked at JoJo in amusement as the tears rolling down her cheeks and I wondered where my rational JoJo was gone.

For me, it was not an emotional wedding. I'm just tagged along JoJo in participating the wedding. I wished to spend more time with JoJo within the few days she stayed in Miri. 

Will I cry if that's JoJo's wedding?
