We're off soon to the wilds of KL and this time it's not just personal. Niece and nephew Aziqah and Ashraf will be getting married this weekend (it's cost effective to marry off two of your kids at once) and we'll be there to help celebrate the occasion. In fact, Noi has already been in attendance for the first leg of Ashraf's big fling and has been heavily involved in the arrangements for Part 2 (don't ask - Malay weddings are a complex business) so she'll be more than just an on-looker, if you see what I mean.
There's already been a kerfuffle about the wedding dress (Aziqah's, well, one of them) and the venue for Saturday's night's nosh-up, which is not allowing a tent to be erected, though a tent is an absolute necessity given the likely size of the turn-out; so I reckon parents Hamzah and Sharifah are feeling more than a little up-tight at this point in time. These things have a way of working themselves out though and, come what may, the youngsters still have that long dark mystery ride to look forward to - which is the point of it all.
Focus on the marriage, not the wedding, say I (sounding suspiciously wise for once.)
