I do

Jun 27, 2009 20:16

Today was the wedding. Since there are three women in the house we had to wake up at 6.30 in the morning to make sure that everything was done in time and that all females looked respectable. Saris only come in one length. A piice of embroidered material (or patterned or plain or whatever) that is 9 meters long so that every shape of woman can fit ( Read more... )

That's an amazing amount of pretty going on there. Your dad, by the way, has an amazing ability to get the right colour for you.

Weddings are like the ultimate time to do silly dancing, surely? Or is that just my lot? (We have the Strapless Dress Dance. Its more or less what you're imagining, yes.)

And eep, hope your sister's ok!

Thank you!! He does love to take credit for it but he once let it slip that he just told his cousin to pick the best ones there for us and left her to do it all!

It is, but it is so much different in an Indian wedding. Everyone will be judging you and comparing you to their daughters and you have to be involved but not too much. you cannot be dancing with one particular person for too long or pay anyone special attention. And if you dance silly then you have to be completely aware that in someone's estimation you have gone down. If you don't dance at all then you have gone down even more! It is a fine balance.

Strapless Dress Dance?? I want to go to one of your weddings!!!

She is feeling much better thank you :D

Hee. Cheating! But very sensible cheating ( ... )

I love it when they forget that we're grown ups. At least I love it un;less the guy is super-hot. Then it's just irritating.

Even the boys do it!?? I am trying to imagine that and I am cracking up with laughter. It's you way of welcoming them into the family isn't it?

We had that too! It was fun. They should be made mandetory for all weddings.

It doesn't help that I'm a good ten years younger than most of them. I'm fixed in their heads as being 13! Well, they haven't done it any time I was single, thank goodness. Of course, that just means they steal my shoes instead.

Yep! Well, more a way of getting them used to the insanity. We're not allowed to be completely mental until they're safely caught, you see.

I love congas. Especially congas started by the bride and seconded by her granny. (That girl is far too awesome for my cousin, she really is.)

They steal your shoes?!? Is there a story behind that?

Heeheee - same with my family! We are always on our polite and best behaviour until the words 'I do' have been said. Then all hell breaks loose!

Your granny starts congas?!?

The story behind that is that my cousin Cormac thinks its very funny to hold my shoes or any other portable belongings out of reach, and I foolishly took my shoes off. *is persecuted*

Nah, my grandparents are all long gone (although by all accounts she quite possibly would have if given the opening). It was the bride's granny, who I am tragically not related to at all. I think the lesson is that more of my cousins should marry demented Mexican girls.
