Planning season!


So what comes next after the engagement? You’ll say ..."The wedding ofcourse..silly!"..well no no no no no my friends, let me educate you..

What comes after engagement is - wedding preparations ..ta da!!!

There are zillions of things to do when you plan a wedding, but if you are planning a big fat Indian wedding...OMG..they are zillion raised to zillion (don’t do the math. its just an expression).

I thought from the start, that I will give my mom all the rights to choose sarees and jewelry for me (I cant tell you how happy she is to do all this!!), my dear sister Rasika will be my manager..like she approves (and rejects) what mom chooses. And then my dad will handle all the invitations and decorations and rest of the things. So in this plan, all I needed to do was to show up on the big day..wearing most pretty saree and looking at my best of course..

But looks like I was not thinking of the wedding ceremony as big (read humongous) as it actually is. After sneaking out of all the weddingy tasks mentioned above, I was still left with pile of things to do.

1. Help my beloved would-be hubby with his wedding shopping

2. Look for new place for us to live after the wedding

3. Plan our honeymoon.

And let me tell you, that there are tens of sub tasks and again sub-sub tasks to each of these bullets. If I'll start writing about everything in detail...well..lets just say..I won't.

So long story short...Let me just tell you the status of these action items..

On 27th June 2010, We are

1. Done with Vishal's shopping

2. Planned to look for new house when we return from our vacation

3. Finalized yatra.com's Maldives package!
