It began on the 25th. Actually a little before that as we both had been jewellery surveying even before. On the 25th after meeting Hari's grandmother, Dad & I spent the day hotel scouting & jewellery shopping. The next day went in Sarees & Hari's clothes. The day after rushing from Hotel to hotel to book a lunch.... Apparently all of Chennai & then some are getting married on the 21st.
The temple proved to be a surprising challenge. Vadapalani temple was visited by us at 6 am. (Yes, yes we 2 lazy bums woke up at 5 am that day). Only to be told to come back at 10!!!! This was followed by a looooong list of documents that needed to be submitted. After a round of scanning & e-mailing passport & ration card copies, & then couriering no objection certificates, we gave up on that temple. Had we decided on that, we would probably get married only in our next lifetime. We are now to be married at Perumal Koil, a smaller temple that takes your invite, Rs 3500 & lets u get married!!! How sensible :-)
We got the rings made (with our nicknames for each other engraved inside :-P). Then came the frantic search for toe rings, with me measuring it & telling dad on the phone.... He He.
Other than Me & my jewellery, I think the most beautiful part is our wedding card.
