"Every true love and friendship is a story of unexpected transformation. If we are the same person before and after we loved, that means we haven't loved enough." - Elif Safak . . 6.Jan.2019 - #NaamZaib Valima 📸: @ujweddings . . #AllahHumaBarik #MASHALLAH #AnnamLodhi #Pakistan #UAE #NaamZaibWedding #Winterwedding #WinterWedding2019 #Brideof2019 #BrideToBe #naamzaib #desiwedding #desiweddingdiaries #Lahore #pakistaniweddings #LodhiSquad #Lahoreweddings #dulhaanddulhan #pakistaniwedding #lifeline #weddingseason #valima #walima #Pakistanibrides #elifsafak

I don't know if I should start posting this soon or not...but this impulse, this addiction to write, share and post takes up a lot of my mental space. Just three months ago, we sat on this stage... the happiest days of our lives #ALHUMDULILAH. Both our families were extremely happy and healthy. . . Just three months down and we are struck by tragedy. We lost Shahzaib's Dada Abu, the head of his family, the glue that bonded us all, a catalyst in our relationship. I just feel angry, sad and annoyed at this timeline... I was looking foward to this life so so much. I wanted a house which had all it's members, happy and healthy. Where I could experience the love of my grandparents again, learn from them and so much more.... . . It's too soon... it just happened too soon... didn't it? We can't change destiny, but we can always wish for better!? We can always hope... . . I just have to complete this deck I made... to celebrate my new beginnings. Tbh I do not feel like celebrating anything anymore, the loss has taken a toll on my entire family. Please pray for us.... it won't ever be the same again... but we will survive. We always do.... . . In the picture 👗: My dress was lovingly designed and selected by my mother in law. I am also wearing her heirloom set. My entire look was based on her vision. She wanted a very modern looking, fancy, non-traditional bride. 🧥: Shahzaib is in @andreemilio.official 📸: @ujweddings . . . #AllahHumaBarik #MASHALLAH #AnnamLodhi #Pakistan #UAE #NaamZaibWedding #Winterwedding #WinterWedding2019 #Brideof2019 #BrideToBe #naamzaib #desiwedding #desiweddingdiaries #Lahore #pakistaniweddings #LodhiSquad #Lahoreweddings #dulhaanddulhan #pakistaniwedding #lifeline #weddingseason #valima #walima #Pakistanibrides

My happy place 😘 . . P.S: the walk down the aisle is very awkward 😆 . . #AllahHumaBarik #MASHALLAH #AnnamLodhi #Pakistan #UAE #NaamZaibWedding #Winterwedding #WinterWedding2019 #Brideof2019 #BrideToBe #naamzaib #desiwedding #desiweddingdiaries #Lahore #pakistaniweddings #LodhiSquad #Lahoreweddings #dulhaanddulhan #pakistaniwedding #lifeline #weddingseason #valima #walima #Pakistanibrides

Laugh like everyones watching!! 😝 . . I was a restless bride from day one. My family tried taming me on my Mayoun and Nikkah but forfeited on the Shendi ... lol Khair I enjoyed my Valima ceremony the most! I was utterly carefree, I didn't care what went wrong or right, I just wanted to enjoy the day. Should have adopted the strategy sooner... but🤷🏽‍♀️ . . I love our photographer for taking the most fun candid pictures of me @ujweddings. His review will come out as soon as I see all our videos 😋 Stay tuned! . . #AllahHumaBarik #MASHALLAH #AnnamLodhi #Pakistan #UAE #NaamZaibWedding #Winterwedding #WinterWedding2019 #Brideof2019 #BrideToBe #naamzaib #desiwedding #desiweddingdiaries #Lahore #pakistaniweddings #LodhiSquad #Lahoreweddings #dulhaanddulhan #pakistaniwedding #lifeline #weddingseason #valima #walima #valimamakeup #Pakistanibrides #valimabride #happybride

My in law's, most importantly my mother in law (Maaji) gives me way too much credit then I deserve #ALHUMDULILAH . Back in 2016, before my engagement, she asked mama if I can wear sleeveless. My family freaked out 1) Because my father was never in favour of us showing skin 2) Due to my skin condition, I have always doubted wearing sleeveless . . I have genetic #eczema, third generation from my maternal side. It started off with joint eczema, where dry patches would form and I would scratch the living hell out of my hands and legs. Then something happened and my entire hands and legs became pigmented (something to do with the layer below the epidermis gaining and losing pigment). The colour is uneven and there is NO cure. My mom like any other mom was worried sick; I remember her crying while looking at my hands and spending as much time and money possible to just find a cure....years later I said fuck this shit and left all treatments. My mom would always say, Kal ko shadi hogi tou kya hoga? . . Cut to 2016, when Maa Ji said this, everyone was shocked but worried too. I talked to her and said my arms aren't worth it, she said: "I didn't expect someone as educated as you to think like that". My dad said "when she is yours do whatever you may, not while she lives with us" . . Cut to 2018, as we prepared for my wedding, there it was, my sleeveless Walima dress. Maaji didn't budge, she wanted me in that dress and she did it. I too had mentally and otherwise prepared myself for this day. . . This fear that was inculcated in our mind that my hands would be a reason to be abashed; that mere pigmentation would mean my in-laws might think I am not the right person . . I realised later, that all this doesn't matter to the right people. Things we think are of relevance are utterly absurd. It's rare, I know, but miracles do happen . . 📷: @ujweddings . . #AllahHumaBarik #MASHALLAH #AnnamLodhi #Pakistan #UAE #NaamZaibWedding #Winterwedding #WinterWedding2019 #Brideof2019 #naamzaib #desiwedding #desiweddingdiaries #Lahore #pakistaniweddings #Lahoreweddings #dulhaanddulhan #pakistaniwedding #weddingseason #valimabride #Pakistanibrides

Last event from the #NaamZaibWedding My #Valima makeup was by Minahil of @themakeupstudioo . . Just saw their work on #instagram and knew that I would want to get my Valima makeup from them. Just went and paid Minahil. Their studio is within their house in DHA, Lahore. . On the Valima day, I rushed to her studio and it was packed. Like both, the sisters had about 8 brides to do. Khair I wasn't neglected.... I wore my dress and soon was called onto the seat. Minahil is a sweetheart and super soft spoken. I said I wanted an Arabic exaggerated look. Her techniques are perfect, she used the MM foundation and other high-end products. . . At the end I wasn't SUPER happy with my look, I felt I didn't get the WOW factor I was looking for, also because my experience with @naylahofficial the day before was life changing, I couldn't stop talking about her with Minahil 🤦🏽‍♀🤷🏽‍♀ and telling her about my experience. Anyways, the make-up stayed put and lasted the whole day. Didn't oxidize or melt or anything. So that's definitely a plus! Also, not to take away from her efforts.. my in-laws LOVED it! They said I looked better than I did on my #Shendi. Also, Mr Was floored, proudly declared "Aj lag rai hona meri dulhan" 😂 . Also, they need to up their hair game. I showed the hairstylist a picture, but she was like your hair is short and the extensions weren't right (later someone told me they had their own extensions) but I wasn't offered a solution I was getting late for my shoot so I was like fine After the shoot, by the time I was at the hall, a lot of my hair was flying . . Didn't want any head jewellery and my in-laws didn't want my dupatta on my head... in case you are wondering 😋 The Makeup Studio will give you the soft glam, which is good for Nikkah event or people who don't like masking make-up . . 📷: @ujweddings . . #AllahHumaBarik #MASHALLAH #AnnamLodhi #Pakistan #UAE #NaamZaibWedding #Winterwedding #WinterWedding2019 #Brideof2019 #BrideToBe #naamzaib #desiwedding #desiweddingdiaries #Lahore #pakistaniweddings #LodhiSquad #Lahoreweddings #dulhaanddulhan #pakistaniwedding #lifeline #weddingseason #valima #walima #valimamakeup #Pakistanibrides
