We're off!

It is almost time!! Our flight leaves tomorrow at 8:05pm EST from Logan. We should be in Rajkot by Sunday 8am IST. Masa will be dropping us off at the airport. We are flying Virgin Atlantic to UK, then Jet to Bombay and Jet again to Rajkot.
I can't believe the wedding is in one week only!!



Latest news from the wedding preperations are:
-Reception will be Aug11 in Rajkot.
-Disha has finished her major shopping. Now accessories(fake jewelry, shoes, bangles, bindis...etc) are left.
-Disha and Vipul are going to Cochin after wedding.
-Disha has extended her stay in India by 1 week. She will return on Aug 23rd.

Ok folks, this will be my last post until I return. I'm sure I'll have lots to post when I get back. Wish me a happy journey and a great time.

Later!

Disha's wedding preparations

Three days 'till departure for India!! I'm getting very excited. I talked to Deesh, yesterday (actually I have been talking to her almost everyday). She is busy with shopping now. She went shopping with her future mom-in-law. She picked out her 'ghar chodu' and all other saris from their side. She has also picked out gold from other side. Next on list, which might be completed by now, was 'chaniya choli' and 'panethar' and saris from our side. The shopping list is never-ending. I can't wait to go there and do a little of my own shopping ;-)

Meanwhile, the groom, Vipul has been harassing Disha to get a cell phone so he can call her ;-) (We all know about these phone calls.) He is also busy trying to book tickets for their honeymoon. This whole thing is so cutie, cutie.

Below is the wedding schedule:
Aug 8th: Lagan Lakhe
Aug 9th: Mandavo (morning)
Aug 9th: Saanji (evening)
Aug 10th: Wedding
*not sure about reception details

Mom and dad are going to Adilabad to visit mota-ba. She will not be coming to the wedding since she cannot make the journey to Rajkot. Rajubhai and Diptibhahi will also not be coming since Tirth is too small. They will definitely be missed. Mom, dad will be back in Rajkot on 6th and guess what!!...that is when we will also be reaching.

Aug 9th is Raksha Bandhan and I will actually be with my brothers in India for this day. It has been so many years since this happened last. I'm really looking forward to that!

Ok, that's it for now. More updates later.
