Madurai....my 'Sasuraal'.

We landed at the early hours  of dawn in this ancient temple town of south India.The weather seemed good.We checked in to the King's Suite in Hotel Tamilnadu.I had an hour's nap.I was wrecked from the long journey.Another 48 hrs to lose the 'Bachelorette' status.

My Mehndi

I got a Dulha-Dulhan Mehndi by Mehndi artist Rajeshwari.She did a good job...i got it done on the day we left for Madurai so that it stays for a the Reception on the 12th Dec.Here is the link to her website and her interview on youtube. http://www.flickr.com/photos/rajeezmehendidesigns/      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeNmUT887-U 

Rain Rain Go Away!!!

What's with  Chennai?It's December and it's raining cats and dogs.I'm stuck at home blogging for the sake of it though i have umteen stuff to do in next 24 hrs before i leave for the wedding.I don't know what to expect out the new city,MADURAI.I'm stressed and stuck with loads to do and less time left.

Pre-Wedding Blues

I love all the attention i'm getting as a bride...oh please!!i don't feel like one.I'm getting married in 4 days and still roaming around in a pair of jeans and Tee fixing my spa appointment,buying furniture for my sasuraal and ordering mothichur ladoos for the wedding potli bags.Ooooffffff.....It's not so cool to do all this with 2 days of lousy weather....the sky has been weeping for past 48 hrs.I need to get lots of things done...hope i don't miss out on anything.I'm having pre-wedding blues.I'm tired and irrate at times.Maybe it would have been a good idea to hire a wedding planner.It's a mind boggling task to deal with the local vendors.INDIAN WEDDINGS......It's really an affair.

Wedding Cake

I placed the order for the wedding cake.It's praveen's favourite flavour...CHOCOLATE.We are getting a three tier heart shaped chocolate truffle cake with rose shaped chocolate icing...yummy,yummy.The Cake Topper....it's unique and means a lot to me.

SHOPPING....SHOPPING....SHOPPING.

I'm tired of shopping!!I need a clone to do my wedding shopping...I need some rest.

A Week to go :)

Next week by this time we'll be man and wife....oh my!that sounds so intense.But that's what we wanted all these years.An official wedding....Finally it's all happening the way we wanted.Our Parents are doing things together.Our Marriage is'nt the start of our commitment but a celebration of it's continuance.I know for sure....It'd be a ball.

Wedding Bands...Pure,Eternal and Rare.

After visiting almost a dozen PT outlets in Chennai and 72 hours of Ring Hunting....we finally collected our wedding bands today.Our car driver will be glad that Praveen and I got it done cos,we drove him crazy by asking him to drive all over Chennai in search of our eternity bands.We visited almost all the reputed jewellery shops in T.Nagar and Cathedral Road.Finally by the end of  the third day's shopping we spotted something as we wanted.Firstly,Praveen liked it...it's so hard to please him.We got a matching one for me as well...so here we go.WE GOT OUR WEDDING BANDS....I'm so happy today.I feel married already :) Can't wait to have it on my left ring finger....8 more days to go.Platinum rings with a diamond is not that common in India...we had less choice to select.I'm glad we invested ample time and money in that 'PURE,ETERNAL and RARE' piece of jewellery.We got our names engraved inside the rings....PRAVEEN in mine, IDA in his.
