This good girls drives me Mad

21- Missing me gorgeous

"Nanz come down fast we are getting late girl..." Belle shouted somewhere from downstairs and I speed up my pace. Well dressed in this heavy attire was not really helping me in being quick. I still can't believe it's my wedding tomorrow. Three months since that dreamy proposal that I planned in London. Three months since he asked me to marry him and three months since we have stayed apart from each other. After the proposal we stayed another 3,4 days so our friends and my parents can roam around and after that we all came back home. While Manik stayed back.

Since he was going to permanently shift back in America to take charge of Zenith, he had some other commitments to finish there and with a heavy heart I said goodbye to him. But we have face timed regularly since then and last week only he returned with his whole family for the wedding. Yes our traditional south Indian weddings. Yepp, I am a proper south Indian, so my parents were adamant to get me ready with all the traditional rituals and thankfully No one from Manik's family opposed of that. Since his Mother was a Christian but his Dad was a North Indian but both of the people were quite okay with the fact of their Son having Indian wedding. Even my friends were so excited to wear all the jewelries and those colorful heavy clothes. same was the case with me but I am a bride and my attires were 10 times more heavier than their and that was not a plus point.

In South India the wedding take place quite early in the morning in the temple. And Yes it's America but we sure have a temple here that was at 2 hour drive. So all the other rituals have to be finish by tonight so that tomorrow we are just left with the main event. Now Yesterday we had a very interesting ritual to perform, "Mangala Snanam" yeah a bit weird right but it was actually quite fun, it states purifying bath for both bride and groom. I was wearing a yellow sleeveless Sari that was quite short to expose a certain amount of my legs. While Manik was shirtless exposing his oh so yummy abs, Making me greedy with a Dhoti(A traditional bottoms for men in India) all and all he looked great.

It happens to be the first ritual for the wedding where married women prepares a paste of turmeric, sandalwood and Kumkum. Then some oil was applied on both of our hair and the prepared paste was applied on our whole body. Our friends had real fun doing that. especially Caleb and Evan, they sure know how to tease Manik and whole time my dear fiancé sat there with his oh so adorable grumpy pout. My baby. (Laughing face). Once they have applied a massive paste then we both were given a bath in holy water to purify our souls before the wedding. Since we have done so nasty things, we surely need that. Sorry Aiyappa!!!
