Shahnayee: The trials and travails of an Indian bride-to-be

Today, I start a new series of posts in an attempt to capture what my wedding planning is looking like. That was a lot of prepositions, but you get the idea.

Before I launch into story-telling, I should probably provide some context into this whole business. My wedding has been set for December 27, 2012 - provided the earth doesn't implode - in Pune, India. There is nowhere in the world I'd rather get married than in Pune, which works out in my favour. Strike 1 for the good bride, and zilch for bridezilla.

At this point, my only concern is probably what I'll be wearing, and whether or not I'll be able to wake up the day of my own wedding, considering the numerous celebrations that will inevitably take place the previous nights. Thank the goddess the ceremony is in the evening!
