Erin & Akid, Part 1

The Solemnization of Erin Adlina Adnan & Akid Ahmad

23 July 2023

KLGCC, KL

I have never walked out from a meeting with my future bride feeling so renewed of my purpose like how Erin made me feel. She said “I want a female pov of my nikah” and it hit me right away that, that’s exactly the advantage I have over my peers which I honestly never got to put into words before. Well, it’s only the first meeting with her and I’m already feeling so motivated. Imagine going to her talks 😅

Well, this first image also renewed my personal definition of this exact moment of a nikah, when the groom left for solat sunat. That exact moment always felt so awkward to not just me but the bride and the guests. But right when Akid left the hall, with such a grin, Erin put her head on her mom’s shoulder, gently stroke her hand and in that moment, I wish time would stop so she would have ample time to say her long list of gratitudes to her mom and just have that final moments being only a daughter. I know that going into this next phase of life took so much of your courage, Erin. Its such an honor to be able to see this vulnerable part of you that not many people get to see. Behind this strong lady vibe that she always carry, she’s still someone’s daughter and a loving one at that. Just look at how she is with her grandma 🥺 too cute I cant handle.

It’s also quite emotional to see how she closed her eyes, took a veryyyy long deep breathe right after kadi said “Sah”, only then she shed some tears. She really was taking her time to let everything sink in. Meanwhile, Akid on the other side, looked so happy, just pure joy. That smile was almost impossible to get out of him, if you know what I’m talking about. Akid was so shy and it took quite some times (9hrs) to get him to be slightly as affectionate to Erin when we have cameras pointing. Their personalities are the total opposite but they love each other of the same magnitude, and yknow opposite attracts. So happy that you’ve found your lobster, Erin 🫶🏻
