This was much needed:)

Finally a picture of us, the happy couple :)

The shopping so far..

The wedding card - I've picked the design for the invite - Karthik and I decided we didn't want to do separate cards from just the two of us -  we both decided to stick with the regular parent invite and went with our folks to pick the design of our choice. Mine is picked, the wordings' ready, and all set to be given out. It's quite interesting to notice the kind of wedding cards that have arrived - there's one which actually speaks to you!! :) No I'm not getting that so stop thinking I'm crazy!! Cards distribution will start soon - maybe next week and my parents have a real task in their hands! Shopping was a little slow last week coz I fell a bit sick but now I'm getting better and I think I'm ready for more shopping. I never get tired! :P Hmmm so far I've picked 3 sarees - one from Nalli which is a pink and purple combo, one from Kumaran which is kinda olive green and gold and one from a new shop called Sarangi which is an orangish red. Sarangi is quite a nice store -its got exclusive sarees and they have only Kancheevarams. Quite good. Also picked Amma's reception saree there - which I'm already eyeing! :P Got a few more sarees to buy, still deciding what to get for the reception and the main muhurtham saree is being bought by MIL :)
Apart from all this, mom has been on a shopping spree buying for so many relatives and poor dad has been swiping the card generously :) This is the update so far - will keep posting! Enjoy!

Her parents :)

It's my pleasure to write a few lines about Aishwerya's parents  - my father in law is a free lance Financial Consultant. He's an extremely busy person who's completely devoted to his job. He enjoys spending time with his family and has quite a unique sense of humor. Aishu is the apple of his eye :-)
Aishu's mom is a really nice and warm person to know and i guess we have really hit it off well right from the beginning. She enjoys movies, cricket, dancing, singing and what not! In short, I'm fortunate to have such great and fun in laws, looking forward to lots of good times with them.

The FIL and The MIL!

Hi all,
I'm back! As you would have guessed, we have been busy with the wedding preps, shopping et al.
Anyway, wanted to quickly write a few lines about my soon to be in laws.
Karthik's dad is a Retd. Lt. Col. from the Indian Army. Can u feel the pride when I say that? :) His mom is a home maker and they have their own apartment in Chennai. I have got to know them pretty well over the last few months and we get along really well. Touch wood :) FIL's a complete riot! He can talk about any subject non stop! No kidding!! MIL's also chatty. Like most mothers, she dotes on her son and loves to cook his favorite dishes. FIL/MIL make quite a funny couple - It is quite hilarious to watch the two of them argue sometimes. They're both very outgoing in nature, pretty broad minded about most things, fun loving and caring folks. Very lucky to be associated with them :) Here's a sneak peak of them! FIL actually looks very strict but trust me he's anything but that! They're gonna kill me if they ever see this pic in here. Hoping that never happens! :P
