A birthday, an engagement and a wedding

Suddenly there seems to be little time left. We will be celebrating Champion’s and lil President’s birthday in April. A week after that is thambhs engagement. In August, thambhs is getting married. Phew! There’s lots of things to do.

First of all, we have to plan for Champion’s and lil' President’s birthday party. We actually gave up Champion's 1st birthday party. We only did a simple one, among close family members. We had no choice, as I was expecting lil’ President and I was having many false contractions. We didn’t want to plan the party, and on the last minute be at the hospital.

So, this year, we thought we should give him what is due. Since both of their birthdays are in April, we’re going to celebrate them together.

Let me see. I have to look out for the caterers, prepare the party bags, get the boys their suits, etc. Hmm, I was even thinking of having a clown...

With thambhs engagement being just a week apart, I will have to source out their suit for his occasion earlier. I think I am gonna buy them ‘jippa’. They look cute in it. Oooh, did I mention? I am going to be the brides maid. Am I too old for it? Can’t help it. I am his one and only sister. I plan to wear my wedding saree for the engagement. Its not always we get to wear grand sarees. That means I need to re-sew the saree blouse. I had put on weight since my wedding three years ago.. and after two pregnancies. I must not forget hubby. I plan to get him a ‘jippa’ too.

Then I have to help amms (my mother) to prepare the trays that we will be bringing to the bride’s house on the day of engagement. I can't remember how many trays we are bringing, 11 or 13, or was it 15? Must check with amms.

Phew! That’s is a lot already.

And now, we have less than 6 months to the wedding. The church has been booked. Now we have to decide on the place for the reception, and we need to do it real fast. For other matters, thambhs said we shall have a meeting among close family members. He said, then we can designate the work to everybody and they shall be held responsible for it.. Fuyoo! So canggih ah?!

Its all so exciting. I can’t wait.

Dear egghead...
yeah, and I'm sure it will be lots of fun.


Dear allyfeel...
That's what I wanted to have.. for a change. Hubby is still doubtful overthe idea. But I think I get him to agree with me :P

Yeah, interesting ah.. I just hope my boys don't run up to me when I'm with the bride ;)

I remember, during our wedding, at the alter.. one of hubby's niece came up to him..

Hey, suppose to be better. Champion's due date was my hubby's birthdate. But he came out earlier. Lil President's due date was May 16, and he came out earlier and landed in April too.

That makes it 3 to celebrate birthday in April.

Hubby even joked he is gonna try again and get it right the next time ! APRIL 16!

Lots of busy and exciting months ahead huh? Wow..

You must show us your photo in your wedding sari.. I know normally lots of money is spent in buying that sari, so it must be very glamourous.

How exciting, you get to play dress up. Good luck with all the planning. Should try to get one of those balloon twisters for their birthday. I'm sure they will love it.
