Alvin and i look at it now and we are all smiles.

The Presents

Aji gave me 2 sarees. One orange and the other red with black embroidery :P

Sanju's mum gave me a pink saree with silver embroidery , a gold ring..really stylish white + yellow gold one and she even got Alvin a gold ring...now that was so touching...

Renu's mum gave me a gold chain and a white embroidered punjabi suit which i personally picked :)

Sunita and Sonia gave their mum money to get me somthing :) aint that sweet? so i picked a black embroidered saree.

Archana gave me a gold pendant and a red saree with blue embroidery. (",)

Rinki gave me a floral motif gold bracelet.

Uma's mum gave me a pair of gold earrings that match Archana's Pendant.She gave me a green saree with pink lace trimming ;)

The digi cam i posted in the previous post is the present i'm gonna get from Big B :)Nikon coolpix S200

chotki bua bought me a pink salwaar kameez material which i picked...its so pretty!

Vicky has told me to get anythin i like and let her know :P

Presents and just more presents...
6 sarees,2 punjabi suits, 6pcs of gold...(I M RICH!!!)( pendant, earrings, chain, bracelet, 2rings and a camera...

mummy bought me more stuff...from sarees to crockery, utensils etc for our trip there...Dahayj

The Digi Cam :)

Hmm so I was wanting a Digital Camera to bring over...and Big B is willing to get me one instead of the normal gold & saree so after much research, I've decided that one that will suit the budget( the rest of the aunts have also spent approx this amount 350+)

I'm stuck between these 2 now 1-the Nikon Coolpix S200 is one great buy...its slim, 7.1MP,with 3x zoom, 2.5-inch screen and what Nikon somewhat vaguely refers to as electronic VR (image stabilization using digital signal processing).

2-Nikon Coolpix S50c which continues the S series' tradition with slim cases, 3x zooms, 3.0-inch screens and 7.1 megapixel

I've found out the price for the S200...its $383 wGST and comes with 2x 2GB memory card and case, screen protector and mini tripod...yet to find out about the latter.So if the price varies greatly, I'd get the cheaper one amongst the 2 :)

Finally...down to the last

I've booked the Henna artist and am only left with one more just one more task...which is to book the Make up artist (MUA). I've already decided on taking
La Vie En Rose
Probably going down with my SIL this friday to get it done.

Food tasting is on 24th hopefully still havent got thru Jega.
24th may is DH's Birthday! he turns 28 :)

Proposals for the deco still underway...
Cards being distributed already...

Lieft with itsy bitsy stuff like Guest book, Flower baskets and Ribbons for the Program sheet. Here's one Guestbook i really like...
My ideal guestbook What do u think? They also provide customization but well i dun think i might need that...

Another trip

Sheetal,Renu and her mum have flown off to the US for Sonia's delivery... hopefully everything goes well and there are no complications and her baby is as cute as her :) Its sheetal's first trip to the US she must really be looking forward to it.

We made yet another trip to Serangoon which has by now become a hangout for me.I know the place at the back of my hands now. TOday we went for Rinki's shopping.She bought a baby pink saree...really soft and feminine. She also managed to get her bangles and necklace set while we were there from 3 to almost 9pm.

Our wedding cards got delivered at 10pm. I had my fingers crossed i was really so nervous cuz i want everything to turn out well especially with all the research and planning i've done... I've begun to think everythin should turn out perfectly....
When i saw the chit i cried...cuz i had told the printer to print 260 hindi cards and 130 tamil cards but he had written that he printed 260 tamil and 130 hindi.I tot i was screwed. Thank god my darling husband to be :P checked it all out one by one and relieved my tension. The printer had mistaken the hindi fonts for tamil ones and labelled them wrongly. Phew! what a relief.

Mum has gone to the temple with some cards so tat she can start distributing them today... i was not able to get the paper i wanted to print the sangeet night cards and so i've ommitted that. Mum will let the people she is inviting verbally.
I really wanted to get the mehndi cards and slot it in as well but i guess it was not fated.

so yeah the caterer is booked, deco is still in the proposal stage,bhangra booked, dj booked, Videographer and photographer booked...all the major stuff covered. so now i'm just left with the Make up and henna. FOr the make up i have shortlisted 3 artists. A freelancer pushpa, Another one from rupini's and one from La vie en rose.Lets see how the trials go... Henna just gotta go down see her works and pay the deposit :)
Will be going for food tasting soon too...Alls well that ends well.

The duties...

So far this is the updated list.
Do take a look and if you want to volunteer for anything do let me know or else it will all be assigned to you by me :P

The Serial shooters

Presenting......

The Actual Day Photographer -->
TsangStudios
More of his works

and

The Videographer -->
Big Day Studios

After alot of research i've confirmed the 2 shooters... Mr Kenneth and Mr Lee.
Thier packages are attractive and works commendable. I also particularly like their style of shooting. Very different from the fotogrpahers who shoot "We were here kinda pics"

Cant wait to see the finished works :)

Mother's Day tea

Mothers day was celebrated at my place this year. It was quite hectic for us... preparing samosas, tea, uppama etc.Was fun and a real burden off the chest after handing u guys your clothes and all... I hope u guys liked it.. DO try to wear it for the Haldi since its not grand enuf for the wedding but i will like to see all the uncles and brothers in the kurta i gave you.

So excited qafter talkin to all of you. I can sense the excitement in your voices too an dit only wants to make me make my wedding enjoyable and memorable for u all n myself and i hope i'll be able to pull it off :)

Itinery still unsure abt dunno when to do what and if there is time for everything
1-cake cutting
2-champange fountain/toasts
3-wedding games/saalis cher chaar
4-dance by poo
5-Bhangra performance
6-opening of dance floor
7-dinner
8-bidaii

we have the hall from 7 to 12pm... so any plans? any help in planning it any ideas girls n guys? ?

We've finally agreed upon a Videographer(VG) for the Big day..BIG DAY STUDIOS.. His videos look very entertaining. While searching for a vg, i came to realise that the best part of a chinese wedding is the tradition where the groom has to perform numerous tasks in order to be able to enter the house to see his bride. If only we coud incorporate that in our hindu weddings! sadly the groom is not allowed to see his bride before the ceremony...but it would not be a bad idea to do these stuff after the ceremony eh? before the bidaii(farewell)?

So if you gals are intending to do so...do it only when only our immediate family and close friends are left at the hall.It can get really entertaining.
