hello how are you, its been a while since november 2014. And i dont write a post about anything in my life. If you’ve been following my work for a while, I think you would get how much I love and appreciate the progress and the view of strugling. how people fall , how they rise again. i dont measure a man / woman success by how high they climb, but how high they bounce after they fall. this time, i had something new in my life, a new lesson, a new experience.
last days, about december 2014,i dont remember exactly when i meet this couple in purwokerto. By their sisters, betsy who know me first. for the several meets they tell me, that they will married in may . what the special ? they want me to make their wedding. make something that they want with my life known as ... "computer man." They asking me a question about an extraordinary wedding concept. an outdoor, garden wedding. i am with them from engagement day, pre wedding and more time to their wedding. from the beginning, I just want helped them with pleasure with all my heart, with the the intention of becoming son's of their mother. Berty are from purwokerto, same as my hometown, and ryo are from Medan, North Sumatera. Their wedding took place in berty hometown and the ceremony , they want in outdoor. This was my first experience in carpenter and woodworking. But even so, I could feel that the couple want their ego fullfilled and make it real by me. Their wedding day was filled with love. They were surrounded by people who knew them from the very beginning, like bridesmaids and groomsmen who were a part of their inner circle and knew their stories from the start. They brought the real color to the celebration.
At weddings, love is proven to be special. It is certain, without a trace of doubt. It is brave, without a hint of fear. It is comforting, without any expectations of comfort in return. But when the dancing shoes have been kicked off and the marriage begins, slowly we forget that love was any special. It just become “usual”. Now, that’s the trap right there. Don’t fall into it. Love can be special, all the time. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been in love, or how long you’ve been together. Love doesn’t fade over time; love grows with time. --
dear berty & ryo, im afraid to ask a question in first.
"- why you put your trust on me, when you dont even know me
- i have a zero experience about wedding , woodworking and ...
- are you crazy enough hire someone who know nothing ?
- why me ? "

I must say that I enjoyed making this wood works, i see the progress from zero, from nothing i know, until the day. making a great team, who dont afraid to fail, and dont affraid about anything. Time flew by in a blink of an eye , 2 months is very fast with i have another business in another town like jakarta, bali, make me dont focust to work in here. I always adore couples who planned their wedding themselves. From the decorations to the details and the flow of events, adding their personal touch to every detail. in this marriage there is no wedding organizer. all did by her sisters, bella and betsy who overcome across the city , semarang ( about 5 hours in travel ) to help the progress. (thankyou so much bel, sy )
Every time I look at a photo, a memories about her wedding day, I can only imagine the mixed feeling they must be having. Every empty gaze, every fiddle, every jittery expressions leads me to think that she must be having those mixed feelings. Sometimes, I’d ask “how are you feeling?” and i hope she’s reply me with a “nervous” or “excited”, but I have a feeling that not one word can describe what was going through her heart and her mind at that exact time. you know my team as same as me, know nothing about wood working, fail much time, fail in wood, fail in paint, fail in chopping and sawing. but they have much spirit in their blood to finish this work. i dont create all this alone by blink an eye, but my team is a monster . They only few , but no one of them complain about they work in few team. in the day we set the woods, friday night ,purwokerto have a rain all night long , aand we still set the decor until dawn. its pretty worse feel when we should attend the wedding too in next morning

i know,and everybody in purwokerto knows that do a garden wedding in purwokerto is bad, very bad idea . no one can stop the rain . But, everything is undercontrol, no rain fall in the day they married. The best part of the days is all our tired paid off already, as they say thank you when they see me in first, and seeing you both smile is enough to make us happy. fyuuh , Thanks God they like my works ~
We both know , after the marriage , life isnt same anymore. Being a partner for a lifetime , being a lovers for a whole time. Im not good at writing, and we all know the world is running out of quotes about love and anything. Everyone is using it. You both know, im such an asshole to create this and that to you both just using a "yes" from your request. I know nothing, and the craziest part , i say yes for you both.
.....Dear berty and ryo, no marriage is ever without challenge. But I pray that you will always learn to meet halfway and to put your marriage above all else, so that you may always come out of every challenge, stronger and more in love! and ryo, Always tell her she’s beautiful, because sometimes she forgets. And she never looks fat in anything! please dont stop flirting with your husband , please dont ever ever stop dating with your wife
Wishing you a wonderful journey ahead.
