My girlfriend is my brother-in-law
My wife, my love and the encouragement of my life

Marriage is the union of the whole life of a man and a woman. With this starting point, it can be said that marriage is basically a verb, not a noun.  Marriage is a process, even a very long process, with all its ups and downs, because each person has its own uniqueness.

And now Ardi and Zahra are ready to go through all that. They were ready to undergo the household ark with so many differences. In addition to the age of those who are adrift quite far, their status, even their nature is also different. But they have agreed to accept each other's shortcomings and make their partner's shortcomings as their advantages.

Churches filled with beautiful flowers such as lilies and chrysanthemums add to the splendor of this beautiful morning. Coupled with the church decoration that increasingly looks beautiful, with benches lined up neatly also decorated with flowers and ribbons with white lace. The white color itself symbolizes purity.

Zahra looks very pretty wearing a white wedding dress. The dress was chosen by Ardi, the groom. The woman also carried a bouquet of flowers in her hand. While Ardi looks very handsome, even though he is no longer young. His charming looks are increasingly radiated with a black tuxedo suit. His white skin, brownish hair increasingly emits an aura that can melt the hearts of women who see it.

The invited guests stood up, their eyes staring at the open main door of the church. Zahra, who is now being held by her father, walks with a smile on her face down the ice. While in front there Ardi was already standing in front of the altar waiting for the arrival of Zahra with a smile that emanated on his face.

The invited guests sit on their benches after Zahra is handed over by her father to Ardi. Zahra held Ardi's arm and stood in front of the Altar. The priest then recites the opening prayer blessing for the marriage of Ardi and Zahra.The hymn that accompanies him is sung by the invited guests with shahdu.

It is time for the wedding. Zahra and Ardi looked at each other and held hands and said their wedding vows.

“I Ardi Raditya Pratama brought you Zahra Patricia to be my wife. I promise to be honest with you in good times, in sickness and in health, I will love you all day of my life.”.

Ardi said that promise excitedly, even his heart felt so relieved when saying those promises. For Ardi it is not just a mere promise, he will realize all the promises that have been said in front of the Imam and the invited guests who appear to crowded the catholic church.

Now comes the time for the main blessing performed by the Imam who presides over the ceremony.

“Do you consider Ardi Raditya Pratama as your legal husband to have and maintain from today, in good and bad times, in times of sickness and health, in times of rich and poor, in times of good health, to love and cherish each other until death do you part,” said Imam.

“I receive.”

Zahra replied with a smile on her face. Likewise with Ardi who answered firmly and the question of the Imam who led the blessing ceremony.

“You have expressed your agreement before the church. May the Lord in his goodness strengthen your agreement and fill you both with his blessings. What God has brought together, man cannot divide...Amen.”

“Amen.”

Both the bride and the invited guests answered with wisdom the blessing prayer. Ardi and Zahra steal each other's eyes, looking a smile on both corners of their lips. No other happiness Zahra has ever felt like today. Where she is now legally the wife of the man she loves so much.

The event continued with the installation of a wedding ring on the bride's finger. Ardi pairs the ring on Zahra's ring finger and Zahra pairs the ring on Ardi's ring finger. They showed it to the guests. Both Zahra and Ardi's parents look very happy.

Ardi smiled as he looked at the beautiful face of his wife, he then slowly kissed the thin lips of the woman who is now legally his wife. Zahra pulled both corners of her lips together to form a smile.

The blessing event has been completed smoothly. The feeling of blue haru in Zahra's heart, unable to stem her tears. It felt not long ago that he felt the affection of his parents, carried, stroked, and spoiled. Sometimes his parents give advice, angry when Zahra makes a mistake.

Both Zahra's parents have principles, it's okay to live economically deprived and worship remains in the care of life in the hereafter. All of that is firmly attached to Zahra's memory.

Now will be held a wedding reception that they will title in a five-star hotel building. Zahra wears a white dress with a blue lace accent. The woman still looks beautiful in whatever dress she wears. While Ardi changed clothes by wearing a white tuxedo, and it also did not reduce his good looks.

Zahra embraces Ardi's arms, they stare at each other with smiles in both their corners. With the gown that Zahra was wearing, she would definitely be very difficult to walk towards. Nervous feelings begin to strike the woman as all eyes look towards her, but Ardi touches Zahra's hand and gives her the strength to remain confident.

Slowly they began to walk through the red carpet that stretched from the entrance to the entrance. Ardi helps Zahra to sit in a chair. The event began, so many invited guests were present at the wedding reception Ardi and Zahra. Not only friends and family were present, but also Ardi's colleagues and his father Zahra.

Everyone present at Ardi and Zahra's wedding reception looks as happy as Ardi and Zahra. The positive aura was so thick felt. Ardi and Zahra unceasingly developed smiles on both corners of their lips. Speech by word flowed so fast. Ardi did not even release his hand on Zahra's hand.

Zahra feeling so happy when on the sidelines of the event, Ardi still had time to whisper a sentence that was able to make Zahra's red face blush perfectly.

“My wife, my love, and the encouragement of my life,” whispered Ardi then peeked at Zahra's cheek flash.

Zahra was only able to smile while blushing in embarrassment.

*You are so perfect

In my eyes you are so beautiful

You make me want to worship you

At every step

I don't think about you

I can't imagine my life without your love

Don't you leave me

Cannot face all

Only with you I can

You are my blood

You are my heart

You are my life

Complete myself

Oh my dear you are so.perfect...

Ardi slowly walked up to Zahra, then grabbed his wife's hand and kissed her back. Zahra's heart was so touched when she heard the song that Ardi sang for her, that Zahra shed tears of joy. Some of the guests were seen wiping their tears.

*You took my hand

When I was weak and fell

You whisper the word and erase all my regrets...

(PERFECT, BY Andra and the BackBone)

Once after singing his love song, Ardi swiftly embraced Zahra's waist, softly kissed the thin lips of the flash before all the invited guests, and again the roar of applause adorned their surroundings. Everyone was happy to go through the wedding reception Ardi and Zahra who looked so luxurious and elegant.
