Our First Photoshoot

Our first shoot together as a couple went on well.It was fun...either of us would freeze in front of the cam.We have a  few spontaneous shots...but i liked being with him.It was a lovely feeling to be with the man of my life.I guess by the time we do the rest of the shoots....Praveen will be camera friendly.Lets see!!

WEDDING INVITATION

Reception Outfit

We met our bridal wear designer,Sruthi.She's worked with south india's fashion bigwigs.I'm sure she'll understand my expectations of my outfit.She had few sketches which was almost similar to the one i had in mind.Praveen's was easy to fix...while mine is going to take some time.I love sabyasachi's net and velvette trims for the season.Got a hang of it from 'Raavan'.Still unsure of the colour palette...metallic green?pale pink?sage green?Confused!!I'm going to seek help from Elle,Vogue and Femina.I'm sure that Sruthi will come up with something appropriate for both of us :)

Wedding Outfit

We're done shopping for the wedding saree and dhothi....it's an elaborate affair with family and relatives spending half a day to choose the 'Muhurtha pattu' and 'pattu veshti and chattai'.My saree hunting went on for many hours where as praveen took less than half an hour to buy his outfit.I got a lovely red brocade silk saree (pure kancheevaram) from the famous 'Nalli Silks',Chennai and his outfit was from 'RmKv',Chennai.

The Wedding Invitation

Praveen wrote this poem for the wedding invite....I did'nt know that he can be romantic @ times.I'm impressed  :)

All our life we walk in our path,
Not boding what for us fate hath;
In our lives are such slivers of time,
that are filled with songs and rime.
Moments of joy and moments of cheer,
we love to share those with our near and dear.
‘Tis such a moment, one we shall share,
Oh! Let the festivities fill the air!
Whilst we become Man and Wife,
we yearn your company as we start our life.
Here is a reason, for all to gather,
Forget not...
bring lots of love, to on us slather.

Meet the Bride's folks

Dad and Mom

Sis and Hubby

Prarthna..the latest arrival to the family

The Bride

In a silk saree and a anarkali suit which i seldom wear.When it comes to weddings,the groom can walk in wearing a pair of jeans,but the bride is expected in a traditional out and adorn atleast a piece of jewellery.....not fair.

The Groom

This is the man i fell for....the love of my life :)
