Last Friday, I was so excited to attend Zam and Shaini's wedding. After two years of courtship they were officially married on last Friday and on the weekend they had a party. I attended both occasions. The solemnisation ceremony took place at As-Syikirin Mosque in Gombak.
To my surprise, although the main entrance of the mosque has steps leading to the praying area but it also has ramps on both side of the entrance leading to the praying area and the corridor of the mosque.
It was easy for me as my friend's car was parked near the ramp and I was wheeled to the corridor, although there was a split level to the praying area but it was ok because the ceremony took place near a corridor.
As i was wheeled to the area, the father of the bride gave signal to me and my friends to come as cloce as possible to the bride and groom. That was so nice of him. I coud see and hear clearly when the solemnisation of the vows took place.
On Sunday the wedding took place at a hall known as Dewan Tan Sri Mahfuz Khalid owned by the Ministry of Works (Kementerian KerjaRaya). The were more than 10 steps leading to the hall at the entrance. On both sides of the entrance there were ramps but both ramps were closed with bars. Apparently it was permanently closed to give ways for mini gardens on both sides of the entrance where it used to be ramps!
The family members of the bride and grooms had to carry my wheelchair through the steps and I had to slowly climbed the steps with the help of my friend and other guests.
But all in all I had fun at the wedding. I just wish that the ministry would not closed the ramps for non-useful purpose of mini gardens.
Congratulations to both Zam and Shai...Selamat Pengantin Baru, Semoga Kekal Hingga ke akhir Hayat.
