Its the cheapest at Parisilk so far at $383 and they have alot of freebies too.. like 2x 2GB SD card, case, screen protector, minitripod etc. whereas at other locations, its only the cam alone costing abt $428+ (",)

Among the 2 anyone will do :) thank you!!!

Overwhelmed

Manisha! Nice to hear that you'll be dressed in traditional wear... I'm honoured you decided to do that just for MY wedding.I'm looking forward to seein u cuz as far as i can recall i havent seen u in a suit for ages. Lotsa new stuff to expect...madhu in saree, manisha in indian costume, Sheetal in lehenga and chandini in saree...whats Renu deciding to wear? Brothers and uncles are gonna be in kurta...
Hey what about your dad, will he be clad in kurta too? :) BTW poonam will be dancing with her friend to "Kajra re" aint it cool?such spontaniety from all my cousins I'm overwhelmed!!!

Madhu, White and pink sound like a great combi... Must look real sweet...got your costume jewellery to wear with that? Dig out your mum's treasure chest she might have some lovely pieces.

Task list, I'll change it and add a little more detail for u fellas. About the shweta flower gal thingy.madhu, u just gotta get the basket and pass it to the gals...and once they are done, get it and restore it to its origin.

On my haldi ceremony on the 5th u all better be present, will give u all a copy of what ur supposed to do and when... am still workin on the itinery..

Collected the program sheets gotta get ribbons for that , place order for garland and get the guest book... thats abt all..yeha will be popping by at mad's place to see if Big B's got a basket or two to spare...and meet up with the deco guy to finalize it all..

We're wondering if we should actually bring our coffee table album to the venue...afraid it will be damaged... u know how kahos' are. What u gals think?

The games and MC thing is temp for the moment in case there is time... u noe once all the outsiders have left and only our family remains, i might just get it off the list... tell ur mum not to worry...we'll get the DJ to do the MC thing as well...

Big b has told me she'd definitely get me the S200 nikon coolpix camera... :) so yeah now i'm left with guestbook, floral basket and garlands..

36 Days

Well, we're sitting pretty now at 35 days.

Can't say I'm not excited. I am really happy with the progress we made so far, but we have some more things that we have to do along the way. Nonetheless, so far so good.

We bought a number of household items, name it, cutlery, plates, rice cooker... We spent quite a sizable amount of cash already, I forsee some more spending before we can settle in totally. All the little knickknacks.

Oh yes, there are so many customs in the hindu religion... You'd know what I mean if you've been through it.

Anyone getting married would know the cost involved or at least have a hint of what the "damages" are.

In any case, faith is often put to the test here. Do you dare to imagine the the cost of the wedding itself, photography, bridal lehenga, make up etc? Everything costs something.

Phew. That's like a mouthful.
35 days people. And I feel a gazillion butterflies already.
