So lots of things have been happening in life. Some trivial and some major. Major being my sister's wedding and trivial being settling back to normalcy post the event.
The wedding was a big thing. She was the last of all our cousins to get married and the youngest of the lot too. Everyone was present, either in the wedding hall or in front of their computers. Yes, we webcast it. It was a huge responsibility as my expert opinion was needed for everything, from the purchase of a safety pin to the selection of the groom. That's right!
After days and weeks of make up trials and accessory shopping, the D-Day arrived and it whizzed past us.
Lots of things happened and lots of things went really fast. I just remember being on my toes
all the while and managing to dress up on time. The bridesmaid needs to be equally well presented.
Like always, there were the trouble making guests who generously contributed to my rising BP. There were also the jolly friends who kept the bride happy and added some youth and gaiety to the very sober going ons.
The most important thing in a wedding is the photographs. My sister, who made faces at the very mention of marriage, was seen happily posing for the pictures. Not to mention pictures taken hand in hand, arm in arm, shoulder to shoulder, forehead to forehead with the groom. Luckily, my own experience from my wedding prepared me for the camera. Let's just say that I razzled and dazzled that day.
The wedding guests have two important tasks on hand, to greet and congratulate the couple and to eat to their heart's delight. Some directly chose to go to step two and were only spotted in the video.
The lights, the music, the flowers, the stage, the costumes, the jewellery were all funded by my poor father. Well poorer by at least a few lakhs after the wedding. My mother managed the guests, the relatives, the trouble making relatives and dutifully dressed up for each occasion. The father of the bride and the mother of the bride, the two most important people in a wedding.
All of this happened with the support of 'Yours Truly'. Without my presence and expert guidance, my dad would not have spent so much, my Mom would not dressed up so well and my sister, well she would never have gotten married.
Today, as we sit back and flip through the photo album, it all seems like a dream. There is no flood of memories of those three days. As I said, it had whizzed past us. We had been cocooned in a different world altogether. When we came out of it, it all seemed like a dream.
Would just like to Congratulate my sister and my brother in law for successfully completing their 3rd month Wedding Anniversary, my parents for their partnership of 30 plus years and to my husband and myself for our breezy romance of almost 5 years.
p.s. Next time someone invites you to a wedding, be sure to make it. A lot goes in to a wedding and every guest is an integral part of it.
