Wedding And All Things Related

As I mentioned in the previous blog the wedding was last minute and everything was rush, rush, rush!! Even the bridesmaid outfits. The entire weekend was spent consulting the tailor and making sure we had the outfits made. We got ripped off but as it was last minute we just agreed as we just couldn’t be bothered to haggle hard. Anyway the tailor was a last minute person and actually finished the outfits at 8:00pm on Monday night and as neither I nor the tailor could be bothered to give/get the dresses, collecting it would then be on Tuesday.

So come Tuesday morning me and my little sister got up early enough to get the dresses. By the time we got back everyone had just started to get up and hog the bathroom... typical!

The wedding itself was hectic, as everyone was getting ready and whilst we had to get ourselves ready, we (as in me and my sister) had to get others ready and babysit the children. I know women are multi-taskers but this was impossible and therefore when people complained why we were running late I was not happy.

The hall we booked was okay I guess. Thank goodness we came in way early as we made a few changes. And thank goodness for contacts as dad sorted out the caterers, hall and stage. Anyway the wedding had slight hitches, mainly from guests who did not understand the concept of a segregated wedding and no pictures. Other than that it went smoothly. I as usual was put in charge of the female hall and had to be a bouncer. So much for enjoying myself ey readers? Anyway I finally got to eat at 4:00 and I only had starters. Not much of a curry fan I’m afraid... oh the irony.

Once the wedding finished we went to my sister’s new flat and chilled there until like 12. When we finally got home we were told to clean the kitchen. Yes, I’m for real. By then I was really losing my sanity! We finished the cleaning and then had to clean our room up as it had everything everywhere. Boy was I glad at 2:00 am that I finally got to sleep!!


Bridesmaid Outfits

Yes, modelled by yours truly

Everything about the Mehndi and wedding was last minute. I mean even the invites were sent out a few days before the actual wedding and that is not my style. I prefer to be prepared and that’s why I have planned out my entire wedding, from the card design, the dress, the hall and the food. Yes you got it I have started planning mine (only in my head of course). Better to be prepare than not!

Now my sister is gone it is a bit weird. I mean I actually have to cook now and then, but unfortunately my curries never come out right...

It’s weird that she’s married and gone now, living elsewhere. It means now that we have to actually call when we want to pop over. Don’t worry people there is an upside, our room has more space now, I chucked my bed out, moved onto the bunk bed and added an extra wardrobe. But unfortunately no new outfits as I’m broke till payday...

Also now the hustle and bustle is over I still have to get back into my life routine and get started on my coursework. Man I need a holiday to get over this holiday!!!
