241111: engagement attire (research)

last weekend we went to Mars

met my uncle and aunt to be

actually pak teh (his uncle) is a fashion designer

we met him to get ideas about my outfit for engagement and akad nikah

and also to know how many RM should we spend for this la

actually my family have tradition

giving kain for akad nikah ceremony as engagement's dowry

so we have to decide how long kain needed 

and type of kain

at first pak teh gave us a lecture about type of kain

showed me his design for tunang+nikah+kawen

explained design that i can choose

and how many kain needed for the design

then he interviewed me to know my rough plan for my engagement event

and also my plan for akad nikah attire

lastly we make a calculation

=)

after meeting him

i change my mind and came out with better idea for my outfit for both engagement and akad nikah
