Runaway groom, a small act.

The groom tries to run away from the wedding ceremony before the bride comes in. This is his final opportunity/chance. But, just then, father of the bride requests the groom not to leave, but stay back and marry his daughter.
This is the significance of 'kAshi yAtra', one of the main rituals in a Hindu wedding.

Developing an online website

To make use of the latest trends of using the web for almost everything, we are designing a website for our wedding. The website is under construction and should be up shortly. This website will contain all the useful information of the wedding including pictures, audio and stories behind the wedding.

Map for the venue

Finalizing the invitation card is in progress. This includes adding a map on the back of the card.

Sitting here, it was easy to locate the exact position of the venue. For people who know Bangalore, the address is a tricky one. It says Banashankari 3rd Stage, but, it is not actually near Avalahalli or Krishna Bhat Colony. This is near Padmanabha Nagar, near KIMS hostel. To get a clear picture, all one needs to do is go to maps.google.com and search for "No. 136/17, 30th Main, Banashankari, Bangalore" in the address space. Below is the view of that.

Introduction


How would it be to give everyone around the globe an update of how things are building up for a wedding of a girl and boy in India? The boy is oceans away and the girl is in the vicinity of the preparations.

Yes. This is my new imagination as a blogger to take the readers on a daily basis - Runup to the big day! How would it be to hire (request) 10 more bloggers who will be writing contents to this blog on my behalf? This is becoming a 'Blog Production', a team who work round the clock to update this blog!

For some quick notes - Wedding is on Dec 28th in Bangalore, India. Please mark your calendar. Things coming up in this blog...

1) Wedding Invitation (the blog way)

2) Preparation updates

3) I must try to get pictures from my Indian team - pictures of shopping, things they purchase and collect, etc.

4) Chat snapshots (is it???)

Keep your eyes open to read more here!

The countdown begins... 42 days to go......
