4th Sunny June
Here’s a little reminder about our journey.
#1 the first time we met was at October 2000..and as what Goldfinger said,
‘I didn’t remember what day it was,
I didn’t notice what time it was
All I know is that I fell in love with you…”
#2 the next time we met was at Pandu’s 20th birthday (16 October 2000). I didn’t know it was his birthday but Mia asked me to stop by because we passed his rented room at Dago 124 that night. And so we did 
#3 our first date was a dinner at Callista (or was it LaVita beb? can’t remember..both are so similar), Dago…standar yee jaman segitu tempat ngedate yang paling ngetop ya dua tempat itu, hihi.
#4 Pandu knocked on my rented room door, on my 19th birthday (18 Dec 2000), at 3 am only to gave me card and birthday presents (hihi yes, in plural form). Gw yakin banget sebelum ke kosan gw, Pandu pasti abis makan sate dan gule kambing di Stasiun 
#5 we became a couple at 26 January 2001…and that’s when I started to see more colors in my life. The backsound was How Deep is Your Love and that’s supposed to be our song, but Pandu thinks it’s too cheesy so we changed our song into the next song played on the radio…Easy, by Faith No More 
liriknya asli ga nyambung sik…but we both like the song, haha.
#6 and that’s the date carved in our wedding ring, instead of our wedding date.
#7 Pandu never proposed. We just knew that we wanted to get married.
#8 one day in 2003, at an ordinary lunch with Bapak, the 3 of us started planning our future. Pandu and I shared with Bapak when are we going to graduate from college, where we are going to work and when we are we going to get married. Bapak said that he fully supported our plan
#9 we got our bachelor degree in 2004. Pandu moved back to his parents house while Bapak found me a rented room about less than a hundred meters from their house
#10 on second half of 2005, Bapak reminded us of our blue print…aka the wedding plan. So the first thing we do is booked a venue, BEFORE asking our parents for permission
#11 after we secured the venue and paid the down payment, we told our parents…*I wonder what would happened should they disagree? Hahaha* we’re just to smart I guess to book a venue BEFORE asking for permission, haha.
#12 on Lebaran 2005, Pandu, Bapak, Ibu and Bayu came to my house in Medan…to propose. It’s nothing formal (that’s what I love about my parents and parents in law!!! Ga pake acara ribetttt musti formal dan adat ini itu). The proposal was simple but full of warmth. We didn’t exchange ring and I specifically said that his family didn’t need to bring hantaran or seserahan or whatever it’s called because my dad said that I was not for sale.
#13 we’ve been saving for our wedding since college because we wanted to fund our own wedding. Hehe which off course, it’s not sufficient dan kita menengadahkan tangan sama mamapapabapakibu but our parents must be proud and love us more for our thoughts, hahaha.
#14 we had a red themed-pool wedding party at Klub Rasuna, Kuningan, 10 June 2006. The wedding party was inspired by our friends wedding, Indra dan Mbak Henna which was held at a small mosque near their house in Bandung where the bride and groom mingle with their guest. But since we couldn’t find the mosque like the one we imagined, we decided to have a pool party instead…as long as it’s not a ‘pesta di gedung’
#15 Pandu sang me The Way You Looked Tonight – Franks Sinatra, at our wedding. It was our wedding song. Our honeymoon song was Seven Days in Sunny June – Jamiroquai
#16 we didn’t have kamar pengantin…heihe, no one cared enuf to décorate the room
#17 but we had our dream wedding, that is no tetek bengek acara adat and unnecessary formality…we had the wedding as simple as our religion taught us but we add some fun as a topping
#18 our sunny june anniversaries:
1st wedding anniversary: dinner at Satoo – Shangri La. Nara was exactly 2 months old when we celebrate our anniversary, our first night our since Nara’s birth
2nd wedding anniversary: dinner at Pure dine and drinks – Menara Imperium

Happy anniversary dear…
Thank you for giving me your hand and never let go
Looking forward to spend the rest of my life with you, Nara and the-not-yet-born baby girl.

Jyaahhh sebel, gw udah pernah bales komen semuanya kok ilang ya?
@Dinda, @Nita dan @Nisha makasih ya jeng-jeng cantik,
@Ona, sekarang lo pasti udah ga sempet lagi baca-baca blog yah? selamat bersibuk-sibuk dengan baby Jamie yaa…ntar klo udah lewat sebulan pasti lo udah aktif berkicau lagi di dunia maya
welcome to parenthood 
@Mia,
#1 hihi masa sik mi? jangan2 gw lagi pake daster?? ampuuun…untung Pandu ga ilfil, haha.
#2 iyaa jaket andelan itu mi…flashy ya? hihi tu jaket hampir tiap ariii gw pake ampe dekil..keren ya mi jaket kita? haha
@AyahPandu,
#1 huuu iyaa ternyata dulu aku suka ngatain kamu gendut, padahal klo dibanding sekarang, kamu dulu itu kurus banget dan GANTENG! hehehe
#2 yapp jaketnya ijo, kayanya Flashy deh…itu jaket kan ‘happening’ banget…haha
#3 oh si mobil vw kodok merah punya Bagong nan keren dan superceper itu kemana yah? hihi
#4 yahh justru karena mereka lagi mabok jadi ngga ngeh kamu masuk pager dan ketok-ketok pintu kamar aku, wkwkw…
#5 i was about to give up actually…abisaan situ lama banget siihhh nembaknya, cape deh! *buang muka*
#6 iyah, lumayan buat bikinin aku cincin kawin ala brad pitt
#11 gilaa padang wannabe dasar!
#13 yes, Club Rasuna was wayyy to gorgeous to miss…it’s perfect!
#17 i think it’s romantic…i always love to hear and see you sing :*
Gimana…gimana? kado aku adalah kado terkeren sepanjang masa kan? hehehe…
#1Aku inget, pake celana 347 abu-abu dan jaket biru. setelan untuk genjot sepeda. And I’m sure, kalo waktu itu aku se”tidak kurus” a.k.a gendut sekarang, this love would have happened anyway
*pede abessss…*
#2 This time I remembered well, kamu pake jaket hijau 347 atau flashy ya? sementara aku lecek banget, belum mandi pula
#3 Kita ke Callista dear, naik mobil VW merahnya Bagong ya? hehe…
#4 Masa iya aku ke tempat kamu jam 3 pagi?? Kok aku berani-beraninya ya, ada Kap Nawi dan Pak Tjetjep yang tongkrongannya super gahar gitu, hehe..
#5 Well, it was one of the days when I felt that I had to do something : ask you to be mine. Untung aja ngga telat, sebelum kamu bosen sama aku,hahahaa…
#6 yeah, yang disesali cuma, kenapa aku terlalu bodoh untuk beli cincin emas
ongkos ganti cincin itu lumayan buat makan-makan kan? hehe..
#7 I never proposed?? Well… if you mean “love-movies propose”.. iya, itu aku akui,hehehe..
#8 alhamdulillah, rencana yang baik akan membuahkan hasil yang baik pula
#9 I graduated in 2004?? well.. int that case… aku kuliah lama banget ya?? hehehe…
#10 oh yes.. the wedding plan. Rencana menikah dengan sederhana yang agak gagal ya? hehehe…
#11 Kalo Papa Mama ngga setuju, yah terpaksa gedungnya kita tawarin ke orang lain yang mau nikah. Dengan harga 2 kali lipat tentunya! (padang gitu lohhhhhh)
#12 it was not Papa dan Mama I was worried about. Your big family! sementara aku cuma berempat. Ah, tapi aku udah siap kok berbalas pantun,hahahahaha.. Anyway, I’m glad to have Papa dan Mama yang tidak berpikiran konservatif
#13 well, sebenernya uangnya cukup kok, kalo cuma untuk bayar penghulu dan KUA plus sewa tempat di mesjid. Tapi…. klub rasuna terlalu bagus untuk dilewatkan! hahha..
#14 idem dengan nomor 13
#15 yeah, suara pas-pasan yang pentig tampiiiiil!
#16 definisi kamar pengantin : kamar yang di dalamnya berisi sepasang pengantin baru. NAH, berarti kita punya kamar pengantin doong
#17 Could’t agree more
#18 our 4th anniversary dinner : apapun asal jangan ada telornya. aku trauma lihat telor,selama di lapangan sehari 3 kali makan telor,hahahaha… it’s ok if you’re busy dear, we still have forever
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY juga sayangku.
You are my everlasting inspiration.
Thank you for giving me the greatest days of my life..
