Von Java

One of my favourite movies is Bride Wars. Yes, what a typical girly girl I am.

----------------------

The movie start with the two main actresses childhood's scene.

Where as little girls, they already had imagined of what their dream wedding would look like and had a role-play of it.

Most of us I'm sure, had that kind of moment too as a kid. I myself like to play 'kahwin-kahwin' where I used to play the 'Mak Andam' role (I seldom play the bride because all the boys that I play with were not 'hot' enough). Ceh, kecik-kecik dah demand...

----------------------

To me, this is the idea of a dream wedding...

In which my husband-to-be would expose his 'nippie' to the guests.

For the very last time in his life. With flowers dangling from his ears.

With high-waisted sarong, matching gold bangles/belt and electric blue hat-thingy on his head.

The very last time in his entire life that he'll make me very very happy.

And the rest of the guests admiring his edginess.

He could show his muscle and that tanned skin of him which I adore and model every flowery aspects of the accessories to the public before he'll be totally mine.

A wedding to remember for all.

---------------------------

What the!?

Hehe, can what? (Bukannya aurat pun for the guys...)

Haha.. I'm just kidding. I want my grandparents live longer and meet their great-grandchildren.

---------------------------

Anyway, that's Dian Sastrowardoyo wedding picture where they wore those outfits for a ritual session I think. Sorry Dian, I made fun of Maulana. Hihi...

---------------------------

To those who didn't know, I am half Malaysian and half Indonesian. My maternal grandparents are from Central Java and my grandmother still live there.

And maybe because of that, I dream of having a traditional Javanese wedding since I was 5 years old.

Since 5 years old too, I want a Mat Salleh husband to cuddle with during my wedding photoshoot like this.

Hohoho... Anyway, black colours usually worn by the people of Central Java.

People from West Java (Bandung) and East Java (Surabaya) usually wear white.

Note: What a 'shy' couple they were, putting their hands on their lap like that. But they have their 'funny' Uncle behind them.

 ---------------------------

Just so you know, black-cum-velvet and white-cum-shy is no longer IN.

And for my Javanese Wedding inspiration, I would say that what these couples wear is traditionally trendy...

Bunga Citra Lestari & Ashraf Sinclair

Dian Sastrowardoyo & Maulana Indraguna Sutowo

Myra & Aizam ( Anna-Rina Photography )

Again, Dian & Maulana - This time decently covered.

(Notice that Dian have the same printed red fabric on her waist like in the 'kemban' picture)

 ---------------------------

Teheehee... And that was it for now. 

More entries to come... On how I aspire my dream wedding would be like and what inspire me. Till then ;)

Note to boyfie : Don't worry. You don't have to wear that brown 'skull cap' for my Javanese theme wedding. I allow you to put on the black songkok instead Sayang!
