ATTENDING THE SOLEMNIZATION CEREMONY OF A FRIEND'S DAUGHTER IN DAMANSARA

   14TH SEPTEMBER 2025    ~ It was Puan Adila Ahmad, a friend of UPM TESL Class of 1993, to welcome a brand new son-in-law into the family. My friend, his wife, daughter and I were at Glamhall, Mercu Mustafa Kamal in Damansara, as early as 8:15 a.m. to observe the solemnization ceremony.

The photoshoot session started earlier as I was afraid the hosts would be busier after this to entertain us.

The bride was also not a stranger to us as she used to tag along her mom during our outing sessions.

Another friend, Puan Aunillah Hilmi, then arrived accompanied by her husband.

We did not get to see our other friends as we had to make our move to attend another wedding reception in Kuantan. We were glad we managed to crash into the solemnization ceremony which mainly attended by family members mostly, with the hosts' permission.

Congratulations Puan Adila Ahmad on the arrival of the new male member into the family. Hope I would be invited again to other similar events in the future.

The only people I knew in the hall were my friend and her family members so I did not stay long once I had done with the buffet dinner. The food was good and I was prepared to eat more for the reception the next day and to meet more people [READ HERE].
