Me (in blue), my kids, my husband, and the bride (in red)I'm back!!! Feels like forever since I posted here. All summer, in fact. And what a summer this has been!
I spent huge amounts of time helping my sister-in-law long distance plan her Big Fat Indian Wedding (she's in San Francisco and the wedding was in Boston) only to have it CANCELLED at the last minute due to hurricane Irene!!
Ever get the feeling that you're in a bad movie? That such things couldn't possibly be happening to you, only they are? That's what this was like. We had planned things down to the last detail, but had to start over with hours not months to make everything happen.
Nana (my husband's grandfather) came all the way from India for the wedding!
Too late to re-order flowers, but my potted mums look nice, I think.
There was chaos, confusion, laughter, celebration, umbrellas, wet saris, and a magical garage jam session (the groom is in a band, and his mates were all there, with their guitars!) It was perfect. And the smiles on the faces of the bride and groom made it all worthwhile.
Storm's over, sun's out, pots and pans washed up, now I can smile!

While we watched the hurricane from our windows, I mentioned to my husband, "Boy, I feel sorry for anyone who planned a wedding this weekend!"
Glad you were able to pull everything together (and still look gorgeous)!
Thanks, Faith! I'm glad we pulled it together too. And at least they have an awesome story for their grandchildren!
OH MY GOSH. What an ending to a fabulous tale. It's so unbelievable that you couldn't make it up! I can't wait to hear the details!!!
Hi Heather, Yeah, it was that weekend :)!!! I have to give you the whole story over coffee one of these days. I'll see if Martha is interested in meeting up too :)
(BTW Martha was a huge help the day of the wedding. She came over and walked Yogi while we were stuck at the temple, and then stayed and helped out. She even washed dishes. I'm really lucky in my friends!)
