Caroline & Parwaiz

The Love Story

It was not a typical love at first sight story for us as we were not particularly interested with each other when we first met – what more to have a relationship or even a marriage! But hey, that is how the best stories always begin. Things started to change its course after our few coincidental meetings here and there. In October 2008, I knew Parwaiz had fallen in love with me as he has been avoiding me for six weeks! One week later we met again and from that moment onwards, I knew HE IS THE ONE to be with. Once started as strangers had eventually turned into friends and now we are officially husband and wife!

The Proposal
After a romantic weekend getaway in Penang, feeling weary and sunburned, Parwaiz proposed to me at an Italian restaurant Cipolla in Bangsar. At that moment when he fell on his knee and proposed to me, I immediately say I DO before he could even finish what he was supposed to say!

Moments to Treasure
We enjoy every single moment we have together doing something extra special by venturing into stuffs we have not done before!

The Rings

The Most Important Element of a Wedding
THE COUPLE. Besides this was the personal vows that we have during the ceremony. We had a small but wonderful group of guests but I believe you do not need 1000 people to have a dream wedding! All you need is a loving couple, caring families and close friends. But of course, all that matters was MY HUSBAND AND I!

Personal advices to couples who are to marry
Do not over plan! Take care and make time for yourselves. You are more important than anything else as you are the reason why the marriage will be. Ensure that you spend time (as a couple) with one another. Do not get overboard with your preparations and try not to have too many people to interfere. It is your wedding and you need to be happy with it!

Biggest challenge to plan for a wedding
Waiting for the RSVP’s can be quite a challenge. Food tasting, dress picking, location finding was all an adventure but all this are easy as long as you know what you want for your dream wedding to come true!
