When Did He Became All Grown Up ???

I'm sure this is a question that all parents would probably ask when your child (whom you still think of as a 3 year old!) tells you that he/she is ready to get married !  Yes?  Well I did....  and yesterday my first born son got engaged !  Hopefully, it'll be another year before he finally gets married and makes me a mum-in-law.  Wonder what my future daughter-in-law will think of me ???  Hahahaha

Anyway, got himself engaged he did.  That boy I gave birth to 24 years ago.  Still young right, but then he's a matured young man and so far has proven to be a responsible man too.  Funny la, to me he will always be a boy ! :D

So, I can't upload the happy couple's pic yet, because I don't have any.  And have not received any from the protographer yet.  Yup, my dear son got a phographer friend of his to be their official protographer for the day.  But I have pictures of the hantaran that I did (of course) except for the 'sirih junjung' which I got our pasar florist to do it (which in the end I did some adjustment to suit my taste and my theme).  I think they turned out pretty well.. I'm quite creative, if I may say so myself! Below are the gits we gave, and those we received in return....
