update

Haha. Shantini’s having a tough time writing her vows! She was the one who wanted to personalise wedding vows. “I am not romantic at all! How am I going to write mushy things??? Pravin will have no problem ‘cuz he is more romantic than I am,” rolling her eyes. But the girl loves Pravin. Awwww…

Moving on to serious logistics: Shan has OK’ed the choice of wines and also champagne. And we found out that Brian has suggested an orange cake with Grand Marnier… YUM!

Venue recce: we all went to see The Pod. It’s really spacious and for just 12 tables, we can perform a dance there! Ok, as if one production, re: Shantini’s wedding, is not enough. Oh hell, how did I get into this??? It’s no joke struggling three courses in uni, being research assistant, and, doing this wedding. But it will be fun. And, I must say that Shan and Co. really did welcome me into the fold with open arms.

Good grief, Caleb (our DJ), why don’t you kill us with sugar. He showed us the list of love songs he compiled. Hmm.. am not sure how the unromantic Shantini will take to the song list but I guess weddings are not just for the couple. It’s a performance. A public performance to validate the coming together of two people. We have family members and friends who become the audience and spectators of the ceremony and the act of coming together. Oh help. I am expounding performance theory here. Shut up already.

  1. The Pod really is a lovely place for a wedding. Can make as much noise as you want there without anyone else being affected, and it's got a great panoramic view of the city.
