Menu Meal Choices...

My mom thought of this, but we couldn't find it at the time and leave it up to Paper-Source to read my mind. I wanted to use little stamps of animals to designate meal choices for the wait staff to know what to serve my guests. It would have been a lot cuter and more 'me' than stickers that said 'lamb' and 'fish'...I don't know how this would work for all cultures as they don't include lamb/goat, BUT that's for another day. Check out the link to purchase and see scale, etc.

If I Could Pick Another Gown...

While I LOVED my gown. I always had a 'crush' on this one by Eden Bridals. It's so glamourous and potentially convertible to a short gown. This would make for a great city wedding or even an upscale suburban one. It's very last year (or even the year before) but who really cares, if you look good in a dress, it doesn't matter when they designed it...unless of course you're a slave to fasion in which case I think you have bigger problems.

Getting through the final steps in changing my name. Definitely start with the social security office and work your way through banks, brokerage institutions, credit cards, banks, and work.

Wedding Pics

We've been married just over a month. We're starting to write thank you's and are still opening beleated gifts. Technically, not belated as guests have one year to give a gift to the happy couple. I find myself speaking in the terms of the royal 'we' more and more. In addition, I seem to stumble on my words when remembering I have a new last name...(not officially, but more on that later).

As I said in my last post, the wedding was fantastic and a whilrwind of activity. From what I've heard, guests enjoyed themselves, the food was great and the music helped keep everyone moving. Our friends serenaded us with our song, "Tell Me" by Sara Evans. My cousin's and sister wowed our guests with a Bollywood routine to "Desi Girl". I have no idea where it came from, but it was perfect with a combination of Hindi and English. During the traditonal garba (Gujarati Folk Dance), I snuck out and changed into the beautiful gold lenga choli that my Groom purchased for me earlier this year. Here are a few highlights of the day:

We're married!

The rest of yesterday got busy and now a total blur of friends, family, music, food and more music.  Pics coming soon. Lessons learned... take a bouquet meant to cascade out of water upon delivery. Other than that not much went wrong. We are heading to brunch to open presents and hang out with our guests.

Make up done... almost. Still waiting on lips.

Make up

Heading to put my face on. Trying to post pics. This is pretty sweet
