A few days ago, my mom called me and (suddenly) talked faster than usual and from her tones i guess she's little upset. She told me that my brother on the same day was in Bandung, but only for a half day. He's coming to Bandung just to talk with his girlfriend's family about their wedding plan (because of that, he's not told me, and i have no clue at all that he's in Bandung). The point from that meeting was my brother had found a hotel in Jakarta as a place to hold the reception party. Beside that, he also told my mom that he and his girlfriend will do a pra-wedding photo session. When he told that to my mom, my mom said no word to him (she said that my brother was talking on the road, and she didn't want has an argument with him in that kind of situation. She'll wait until my brother reach his house).
And i got the result of that. My mom told everything that she has in her heart (that should be told to my brother) to me. The one that made her upset was my btother's plan to has a pra-wedding photo session. She said, in our religion (I'm a Moslem) there's no things such a pra-wedding photo (i'm not sure if it's prohibited or not, but my dad told something about 'fatwa MUI' and i'm not sure what it's said). My mom has an argument that they (my brother and his girlfriend) are not married yet, so why they want to take that kind of photo session?
Later, my brother ask me will i do a pra-wedding photo if i'm getting married? I said i don't know...
I think it's all because the term 'pra-wedding photo session' (in indonesian=foto pra-wedding). Foto pra-wedding that we know (at least what me and my family familiar with) is a photo which the couple pose just like they married (please note that i'm from indonesia, and i'm moslem) and we think that isn't appropriate to do that kind of pose (e.g hugging each other, kissing each other, etc) because actually they are not husband-wife yet. And actually i agree with that. But, foto pra-wedding isn't all about having an intimate pose in front of camera. There are lot of themes that we can choose for our pra-wedding photo. I remember found in StumbleUpon an "UP" theme (yes, the movie "UP") for the pra-wedding session. And it's so cute and sweet. There are no hugging, kissing, or intimate poses. It's just lovely. The picture is full with balloons. Another theme that i've found was Alice in The Wonderland. And it's just so lovely and cute.
My brother also told me that he's doing a pra-wedding photo session just for fun. There will be no that intimate pose in the photo (i really believe that my brother knows and realize about this and he will not do something that isn't his belief). He said that they're gonna do that outdoor with a lot of balloons (and i remember that "UP" theme). So, i just said to him, just do that but maybe change the term from "a pra-wedding photo session" to "a picture with my girlfriend". If that so, what's the difference between the photo from your daily life with your girlfriend with the pra-wedding photo, right?
p.s. i do want to have "a picture with my boyfriend" with the "UP" theme. (i should search for that again) :D
