Random excitement!

I am soo excited right now and I didn't know where to write or whom to express it to so I headed straight to the blog! I'm really excited coz a good good friend of mine from the US just updated her status on Facebook and it looks like she might be here in India for the wedding! Gosh!! Its so exciting coz Meg and I have worked together and it will be totally cool if she can represent all my friends from the US of A here on the 29th! Can't wait to see missy!! Fingers crossed, all 10 of 'em!  :)

The Pondatti!

Since i've been introduced, it's only fair to introduce the 'ol ball and chains.
Aishu is a true blue chennaiite and a mix of the "peter" and "mallipoo" variety, based on the situation.  Full of beans and keen on experiencing most things that comes her way she seems to make the most of the 24 hrs..
A cricket buff (never expected that one) and one that can fully put to shame the vuvuzela, she goes all out when it comes to the men in blue. Her other interests are reading, writing blogs (DUH!!), listening to music and singing. And oh yes, she can be quite uncontrollable on the dance floor and thru this post i want to tell one and all that i will not be dancing at the wedding. So all those gleefully waiting for the snaps/ video can kiss those dreams goodbye.

The mapplae!(Translation: The Groom!)

A few words about the groom - Karthik is basically from Chennai. Having said that, he has lived in many many different cities during his childhood - both the North and the South. He has an MBA in Finance/HR and is currently an HR Consultant at a popular HR Consulting firm in Chennai. Now,there are so many adjectives to describe him but what really comes to mind when I think of Karthik is that he is mature, fun loving, caring, adventurous, glutton(hehehe), hard working, witty and a total flirt, which I think is a true blue Gemini trait. The first time you meet him he will come across as a super serious person. But once the ice is broken, you see a completely different person altogether! He can really make you laugh your lungs out with his corny one liners. He loves reading, movies, music of all kinds, is a brilliant photographer, a total mama's boy(!), loves traveling and has traveled widely thanks to his papa's army influence, and last but not the least is very passionate about "off roading". The first time he told me about it, I heard it as "off loading" and I nodded my head like I knew exactly what it was when in fact I knew nothing about it!! :P Now, I do, so it's all good I guess :-) Like most men, he's a gadget freak and is addicted to Blackberry! And no, he doesn't keep texting me. Absolutely loves super bikes! Yikes!! I know.. but this boy is a bike fanatic, his favorite one being the Hayabusa. And yea, he hates dancing. He is absolutely petrified of the possibility of him having to do an extempore dance sequence at our wedding.. and I don't blame him one bit considering how much my family loves to dance!  I've already been warning him to start moving his feet - and yes videos will be posted of it, so do keep up with this space! ;-)

Ringa ringa roses!

Today evening we got to go pick our wedding rings!!!
Amid opinions and comments from over half a dozen people, we finally managed to zero in on THE ring for each of us from among a zillion designs.
Cant wait to put them on in 74 days from today.

The really interesting bit came after the ring picking  - while we gulped down quite a lot of food at the near-by Woodlands - where we got our very first wedding gift, from varungala mamanaar!

Welcome to our blog :-)

Hello everybody!!
Karthik and I would like to extend a very warm welcome to our wedding blog! I think the timing of this blog is perfect - just 74 days to go for our BIG DAY! May 29th 2011 to be more precise :-)
We first decided to have a wedding website which tracks our countdown and things like that but yours truly came up with this better idea of creating a blog, which in my opinion is way cooler :P
Plus, Karthik has always told me he enjoys reading my personal blog(he used to read it wayyy before, even when things weren't happening between us, but I will save that story for a later post) ;-)
This blog will essentially feature the hero and the heroine aka Karthik and Aishwerya, our story, our interests, fun stuff about the wedding preparations, pictures, details about our wonderful families without whom none of this will be so much fun, posts on our awesome friends, our honeymoon details, our to be rented home etc. You get the drift - basically anything that is remotely related to this wedding - be it fun or serious stuff!

Once again, I am very happy that you are a reader and hopefully a follower of our blog!! Welcome to our world filled with happiness, anxiety, drama, fun times and what not! Hope you stick around till the end!
Till my next post, adios! :-)
