With exactly one week to go, I'm sitting here thinking "this time next week I will be a married woman"! Phew!! Big changes! Very exciting and a wee bit nervous too - hoping everything goes off as planned.

Checklist
With 14 days to go, I'm making a checklist and making sure its all taken care of :)
Guests/friends from out of town have confirmed their arrivals - Check
Apartments/Places for them to stay - Check
My shopping - CHECK!
DJ Jiju who's gonna be there on th 28th eve - Check. Err. I'm hoping he's decent coz I've never heard him playing but I figured if he can get the crowd to groove then Im ok. So check!
Decorations for both the days - Thanks to my amazing Perima/Chittis, its done. Check!
DJ's song list - Check! Tks Sne/Sanju :) - We're havin a good mix of Hindi/Tamil numbers. Hindi for the Rajasthan/Delhi folks to groove and of course some kick @$$ Tamil Kuthu numbers coz u see we have to teach them how to break it down Southern style :-)
Photographer - our very own Nagarajan. I remember Sne, Sanju and I used to run at each function he'd come coz he would bug us so much to pose for his camera. I can imagine the torture I've to endure but his photos come out well eventually so thats all matters I guess. Check!
Amma's shopping - Check! I'm in love with both her sarees. Im sure she's gonna look sooper good! :)
Appa's :-( Sadly he hasn't bought anything for himself until now. I've promised we will go to a nice store and get him some lovely shirts tonight.
Mehndi ladies for the 27th - Check! She's promised some nice traditional/Arabic designs so lets see.
Excitement in both families - CHECK CHECK CHECK!!! Main to Ainvayi Ainvayi lut gaya! :P
Things are hotting up in an already scorching Chennai! :P
Later!

Wedding events :)
Hi guys!
The wedding fever is slowly catching up and this weekend was extremely busy. There was so much that got done this weekend but still my to-do list keeps growing :( But I am extremely thankful that I have some amazing people who are really helping me out so much. Be it shopping, preparing guest lists, address lists, inviting people from out of town, talking to the caterers, coordinating events with the in laws, setting up our new house... its all being taken care of by my amazing aunts and uncles and of course my cousins.
So the events to our wedding look something like this so far :)
26th evening - Get together of my family and friends at a city hotel. We have decided to take a banquet hall and have dinner, music, dancing :)
27th afternoon - Mehndi at my house. Maxi Chitti and Sneha are in charge of the event and they are working on getting the music, the girls to do the mehndi, inviting the ladies etc.
28th early morning -We i.e the girls party will be at MVJ at 6:30 am and there's going to be a nice formal welcoming of Karthik's family.. Bhuvana Chitti is organizing it and I'm sure it will be fantastic :)
28th afternoon - Entertainment time! Singing, dancing and getting to know each others' families
28th evening - Formal engagement or Nischayathartham, baarat and all the works :)
29th morning - Muhurtham which includes the Oonjal or the "swing" ceremony, "Kasi Yatra", and the mangalya dharanam.
29th evening - Reception!! Lots of people expected for this one.
30th morning - Going to Karthik's house in the morning, spending time there, coming to Anna nagar in the evening, spending time here before we finally head to our home.
31st early morning - Headed for our honeymoon.. to Zuri, Kumarakom :)
Phew! Its a lot of work to be done but all sounds super exciting!!! Hoping everything goes off well :)
