Inas and Khairul met at the P Ramlee Musical held at PJPac, where Khairul was performing on his trumpet. Inas, sitting alone in the audience, had no inkling that the talented musician on stage would soon become her husband. Their romance blossomed quickly, and just shy of 11 months later, they were preparing for their wedding.
The couple initially had another venue in mind when they stumbled upon their wedding location on Instagram. Intrigued, they decided to visit it, and it was love at first sight. Nestled within the venue was a charming fruit orchard, a serene river, and a beautiful traditional Malay house.
For their special day, Inas and Khairul embraced their Malay heritage during the morning Nikah ceremony, followed by 2 reception that were more relaxed, the first during lunch and the second at tea-time in the evening. The décor featured a soft and natural colour palette with a mix of white and green hues, emphasising freshness and simplicity. The overall theme was a harmonious blend of nature and tradition, creating a serene and picturesque backdrop for their celebration.
The day began with a beautiful Akad Nikah ceremony attended by their close family members. The weather seemed uncertain, but just as the ceremony started, the skies cleared, and sunshine, along with butterflies, blessed their union. It was a magical moment that set the tone for the rest of the day. After the Nikah, a lunchtime celebration followed. Inas’s sister, Irani, performed the Silat Dance with her friend, Hani, which moved Inas to tears. The soothing sounds of the Gamelan, creating a deeply cultural and heartfelt atmosphere throughout.
The tea-time reception began with a light drizzle, adding to the enchanting ambiance. Khairul’s best friend, Russell, took on the role of MC, ensuring the event ran smoothly. One of the highlights was a guitar-trumpet duo performance of “Getaran Jiwa” by P Ramlee, performed by Rizal and Khairul, paying homage to how this couple’s story began. The evening continued with a delicious spread by The Supper Club, heartfelt speeches from family, and musical performances by their friends Lewy, Russell, and Rizal.
Inas and Khairul advise future couples to have fun while planning their wedding together. They emphasize the importance of savoring each moment, as the day passes by very quickly. Taking a breather and soaking in every detail because you wouldn’t want to miss a thing.
