12 Days

12 days from now I will be getting married.

12 days from now I will belong to the man I love.

12 days from now I will be half of a whole.

12 days from now I will no longer be alone.

12 days from now I will be the happiest girl in the world.

I've never thought I'd be married so soon. I've never thought that I would be marrying an Indonesian. Most of all, I've never thought that my family would take it so well. Thanks to my entire family who are ready to have him as part of us, so much so that they're getting ready to tease him already. I'm sure my Mak Ngah is looking for appropriate Malay jokes to tell since she can't effectively use the "What has six wheels and flies" joke. Hopefully he doesn't pass out at the next family gathering.

Most importantly, and most meaningful for me, thanks so much to my dad who gave us blessing, who accepted my decision with such and open heart and mind, who understood how much he means to me, and who is willing to accept this person into our family and into our home even though he's from a different country, a different culture and has almost nothing. I feel blessed to have such a wonderful and understanding father who will do just about anything for the happiness of his children.
