*And Caragata says.....*

For whom the wedding bells toll!

June's gonna be over in a few days....eagerly waiting for my first ever pay-cheque!
I've been marking my calendar a lot these few days...i always feel time fly by when there's something to look forward to at the end of the week. Attended my cousin's wedding dinner last night. And the next big event will be.....*drum roll*.....another wedding!



This time around, my friend(deeds!) will be getting hitched on July the 10th and there's a whole week of functions to attend. YAY! Already planning what to wear for each function.But the one question i dont have an answer to is: What's the gift gonna be?Been thinking of quite a few things: photoframes,wedding albums, vases..funny that i seem to be naming almost everything from Lovely Lace. Any ideas ppl?


Funny how everytime i attend someone's wedding, i cant help start imagining my own wedding day! i mean its not really my wedding in particular...but the wedding plans...I mean..it really is a HUGE event to plan..flowers, clothes(what you're gonna wear and what you want everyone else to wear :D), food, the cake, venues, invites(who you want to invite and who your parents want to invite!), color themes...Stressful yet relaxing, anxious yet patient and all kinds of mood swings are involved in making this day.."the" day of your life!

I'm sure everyone of us(girls) have at least pictured our wedding dress(s)! I know some ppl who even know where to take their photographs!..siapa makan cili, dia arasa pedas k ;)

I guess the Christians have the least to do(not so many ceremonies) for their weddings. Church wedding and then off to the reception for food!
Chinese have the grooms drive over to the bride's house with his posse of strong, willing slave friends and do all sorts of bidings by the brides friends before their finally let into the house. Then they go back to the groom's place for the tea ceremony where they serve tea to all their uncle's & aunties.

Indians have a lot! of ceremonies leading up to the wedding day. Deeds wedding's gonna be a Gujerati(G-U-J-J-U!) wedding. It's suppose to be a whole week long of ceremonies. I'm not sure what they are exactly, but i do know there's gonna be a Mehndi ceremony, where the bride-to-be's hands and feet are decorated with..umm...mehndi. I really don't know what to call it in our "England" language...but its some sort of "inai" la...if you're Malaysian...you should know what it is! And then there's the Sangeeth which i'm told is where all the dancing and colorful costumes come on display! Can't wait for that! And the actual tying of the "thali" at the temple.

Watch out for a colorful gujju wedding photoblog!
And please do gimme some ideas for the wedding gift!
