Why I Love My Georgia Gals (a photo-essay)

Yeah, we don't really have that much fun together.  No fun at all.

Had a wonderful time on the bach Lisa!!  Can't wait for the wedding!!!!!

Let's Get to the Good Stuff Shall We?

Check out that menu- I dare you not to drool (unless of course, you do not like Indian food, hmmmpphh).  After some post-ceremony lunch napping, we put on our usual duds, and got ready to party!  Thank goodness I went back for more samosas during the cocktail hour, because there was two hours of MC-ed toasting and speeches before we got to dive in to the above. 

I had to take a picture of Shelley's plate, because, damn girl!  She loves some Indian food.  For the record, my plate was nearly as full.  Casting stones in glass houses, and all that jazz.

I tried to get some good pics of the everyone rocking out to Indian techno (also, known as my new favorite genre of music- itunes better watch it, yo!).  However, the only one that came out was of this adorable little girl who was jamming out!  I loved her, and had to restrain myself from stealing her.  If I could pop out Indian babies (or toddlers with British accents)  I'd probably have a whole herd of kids by now.

Y'all just need to watch this video okay?

Warning- you will cry.  But is is awesome.  So watch it.

Finally- a picture of me, at the crack of dawn Sunday morning, driving a rental car around Michigan, who's seat I cannot lower:

Um yeah, did I mention I'm drinking a Diet Pepsi?  Because NO DIET COKE was to be found in Michigan?  WHY, MICHIGAN?

Seriously.

And Shelley probably shouldn't have taken this picture while I was driving.  

 Do you see how close my head is to the ceiling?? 

Bollywood Nights Part 2

So out sari ladies wrapped, tightened, tucked, and re-wrapped us so we were correctly and beautifully in our saris.  I loved the peacock blue of Annie's (and apologize for putting pictures of her at 7:30 AM getting dressed on the inter-webs.  Hee).

After downing some Starbucks and granola bars, we hopped on the bus to the country club for the procession.  We arrived around nine, and waited for the coffee to kick in. . .

Which it immediately did upon the arrival of Vivek's (the groom) transport.

Vivek had never ridden a horse before, so was understandably a bit nervous.  I had voted on their wedding website for an elephant to be his transportation, but apparently horse won.  Once I saw that braided tail and ornate horse clothes, I was immediately brought back to My Little Ponies, which is always awesome.

Vivek's hat is amazing.  I think it would have looked lovely on Hubs, so we could have coordinated.

Who has purple heels to match their sari?

Only Shelley!

The breathtaking bride walking down the aisle.

Juhi did such a wonderful job picking out our saris- each one fit our coloring and preferences perfectly.  We were all confused when Juhi told us to change into our normal clothes for the reception that evening.  What?  Saris look so comfy.

Hell to the no.  I had a massive welt around my waist from my petticoat being tied so tight, then all the pleats were tucked in to the petticoat.  I couldn't slump without searing pain shooting through my midsection.  Painful but good for posture!
