Fatima
The day is finally here. I am currently in my room waiting for the make up artist to finish her work on my face so I can get dressed. After my make up my sisters came to help me wear my dress.
The men of the house went to the mosque for the nikah while we ladies are to wait for the good news, though we can hear all what is being said from my mum's phone. When it got to the part where the imam asked Faruk if he accepted me, my breathe got caught in my throat until he replied positively. Next it was time for me to give my consent
"Fatima Ibrahim, do you accept Faruk Musa as your husband with the stipulated mehr?"
"I do," I replied three times.
I heard congratulations from the phone before it was disconnected by my mum saying I needed to prepare my self to meet my husband. Firdaous touched up my makeup and adjusted my dress, then we heard the sounds of cars entering the compound, so my mum and aunts went to welcome them in. Few minutes later, I was escorted by my sisters downstairs. I planted my gaze on the floor relying on my sisters to guide me. I sat down beside my husband and then his mum and sisters came to congratulate me, to which I responded shyly.
Next pictures were taken and by the end my cheekbones were aching due to constant smiling. Its now time to leave for my husband's house and i can't stop my tears as I hugged and bid farewell to my family.
