And We're Back!!!!

Well, we finally got some of the professional pics from Meera & Nehal's wedding.....See below!!!





















ORIGINAL POST BELOW

It was a quick weekend!!! Once we landed, we hopped in our rental car, got dinner, and drove to our Airbnb in Kensington, Md to toss our stuff aside and get in 8hrs of sleep.

Waking up on Friday morning late was heavenly. It's always nice knowing you don't have to go to work. We piddled around, until my mom arrived to go to lunch. We picked her up in Silver Spring and drove to Bethesda to eat at the American Tap Room Bar & Grill. Delish!





After lunch, we went back to our Airbnb and got ready for the rehearsal and Garba. It was a long rehearsal, but it was so wonderful to see the Bride! She was absolutely radiant!!!!



I love my Meera!!!! Once we got everything down, we all went our separate ways and got dressed up for the Garba. This was our first Garba & Raas and I couldn't have loved it any more. I had a great time actually doing the garba and dressing in traditional Indian attire. It was such a joy to experience!

 Come Sat morning!!! A Quaker ceremony and a Hindu ceremony. It was a 12 to 14 hr day and worth every second. The bridal party was a hit and when we entered into the Hindu reception, we did the Bernie. Just made people laugh. Fantastic! Upbeat bhangra music and killer lights, plus the food was amazing! I love Indian cuisine and always get excited when I can get my fix!!

Beyond thrilled for Nehal & Meera!! Two destined to be together!!! 5/16/14!!!

It's May!

Well, good morning! It's May and I have taken a lite break away from blogging.

I can't believe so much has happened in my absence. We're gearing up for our first wedding of the season. A rehearsal, a wedding, and Mother's Day all in one weekend. Eek!! I'm somewhat wishing this wasn't the case, but am glad because it'll be a union of two friends. The hubs is in fact in the wedding.....and I'm just assisting with the schedule and timing of things. But when everything is said and done, we'll have one wedding out of the way and then onto the next.

I'm really looking forward to my cousin's wedding which is next weekend! We'll be flying out to MD, and stuffing 5 days worth of Hindu traditions into 2 days. I am actually in this wedding so my husband get's to relax at this one.

ahh, wedding season!!
