The #Zaidarif wedding

Zaida Ibrahim and Arif Zikri Azizi's story from blooming romance to tying the knot started with a broken juicer.

The alternative hashtag, #brokenjuicer for the akad nikah ceremony at Zaida's home recalled a time when the founder of Impressed needed help fixing her malfunctioning industrial juicer. A fateful call to Arif would not only see the juicer fixed, but fate sealed, as they set off on their journey to becoming husband and wife.

The couple officially exchanged their vows in front of their closest family and friends, including Zaida's parents, Tan Sri Ibrahim Saad and Puan Sri Zainab Abdul Kader, in an akad nikah ceremony that was full of love, laughter and joy.

The week after, they brought the party to Bali for a breathtaking second reception where they exchanged their vows and cut their cake one more time to the lulling waves of the ocean and a spectacular fireworks show after.
