It is official. My cousin Abinaya is no longer a bachelorette.
Here goea a short account on the funnier side of Abi's wedding :)
The difficult thing in these wedding is I have so many cousins in abroad with children that it is kind of hard to keep track of who is whose kid. I mean I d get killed if I go up to my bro Arvind who has one daughter and ask him how his eldest son is doing :D I am thinking of suggesting that all below five years wear jersey like in a football game.
The other big problem for someone who is studying in Madurai is to have your cousins constantly whine about how poor Madurai is. I keep hearing "Hey Banglore is not at all hot ya.", "Banglore is not such a boring place man". And there is this "Australian" brother who keeps talking in a weird voice saying "Hey thats not how we do it in Australia". I later learnt that the weird voice he was trying was the Australian accent.
And following current trend, everyone above 20 years will get the "talk" from almost all grown ups. They tell you "Don't commit yourself to any girl. - pause - If you do, make sure she knows Sourashtra". Sadly you are not gonna draw any friendly glances if you ask if its enough she speaks "ruvo ruvo" (little little) Sourashtra or that she actually has to be a Sourashtrian.
A word about the jomans (food servings) is a must here. The food is so heavily loaded that it can nullify a year's worth of diet in a single sitting. I keep praying to God that someone will bring a change in the menu but looks like it won't happen in the foreseeable future.
Abi's wedding would have been near perfect but for the average age of the people who attended it. I mean, sure the blessings of the elders are needed during these functions. But a few more younger people would have definitely kept things more interesting ;)
