Wedding Day-Surabaya, 18th February 2007 (Final)

After a long day of wedding celebration on the 16th February, the next day 17th February 2007, we went to Surabaya to have another wedding reception. We took air asia at about 3pm from Jakarta. And the flight was delayed due to bad weather, we were already inside the plane when the pilot announced that the schedule has to be delayed due to the heavy rain. We waited around 30min before the plane took off. That was the first time for my brother Rico taking a plane, and he was quite scared. Me, my wife artha, and my sister Icha were sitting together, while my mom, dad and my brother rico seating on the other side. The journey was quite bad due to the bad weather and we got a bit scared especially Rico. However we finally arrived in Surabaya and went directly to Narita Hotel where my mom, dad, my bro and sister stay. After that me and artha went to my parents in law place, where they already arrived in Surabaya taking the morning flight.
We were staying at Novotel Surabaya, and Artha's sister gave us a room with a balconny, however due to it was full they upgrade us to a novotel suite. The room was huge, it has a living room, huge bad room, with 2 bath room and 2 TV. Well again God give this as a present to us on our wedding Day. So we called this our honeymoon suite.
The next day, Sunday 18th February 2007. Everything was ready, except we were worried about Baren, Artha's little brother who is going to be our wedding singer was sick and hospitalize the night before. Well again with God grace He made it to sing in our wedding.The building that we were using,Sasana Bhakti Tribuana Tungga Dewi (BK3S), was great, it was big and so wonderful with all the decoration all around.
The wedding ceremony starts at around 7pm, and it start with the entrance of bride and groom, Artha and Me. During the Entrance there were presentations of our video and tradional batak dance. After that, we cut the wedding cake with a samurai sword and gave a piece of the cake to both our parents. After that the guests were eating and they congratulate us one by one on the stage. Overall it was a short and sweet ceremony.
Everything went very well from the preparation until we finally did our wedding celebration. We both thank God for all the things that He has given for us, I believe it was all only because of God's grace, not by our might and power.
FOR LOVE COMES FROM GOD...

Parlin and Artha
