What are these games that you speak of? I'm assuming this is a gujarati tradition. Shilps - you're not alone! I typed FMIL first, but then realized. DH and I have not been calling each others mother's "mom" yet. It's too weird! Finally a MG! My Bio **Updated 6.16.09 WITH WEDDING VENDOR REVIEWS!!**

Thnks girls.. my Mom/FI agrees with me. Not only that but my mom doesn't reccomend us being on the road for so long on the day of the wedding. FFIL is conveniently conservative.. FI and I have agreed that we will ask him to do the puja @ the venue or at the hotel where other groom-side of the families are staying. Thanks for sharing your experiences. As we grow older together, As we continue to change with age, There is one thing that...

Definitely not Tallahassee! I lived there one spring and there are quite limited shopping opportunities for non-SA clothing, nevermind anything specialized. Orlando or Tampa (on Fowler Avenue there are several stores) would be better, with Orlando probably being your best bet. Unfortunately, I don't have any ideas off the top of my head, but Neha was a Florida bride who may be of help. I just looked up her bio, though, and it appears to...

OK-I am going crazy over the stupidest things! Do people usualy wear a tikha and a bindhi? I went on google, and have seen it both ways-but I can't remeber what I usually do when I did wear a tikha. My Pathetic attempt of a bio

Thank you! I just fell in love with dress the minute I saw it!

Thanks everybody for the great feedback! Hopefully we'll finalize this weekend so his parents can take the drafts to India with them next week for printing.

I agree with Dublin..just take the time out to enjoy it! It will be over before you know it :) Have the time of your life!!

I promise I'll add these to my bio soon, but for those of you in DC and beginning your planning, I wanted to recommend a few of my Indian-wedding specific vendors that I thought did a fantastic job... Tandoori Nights (Catering) - We dealt with Neal, the owner, and he is super nice, very flexible, and the food is sooo delicious. We really enjoyed our tasting, and the food at the wedding was fabulous, we had a ton of compliments. They also...

The Westin in Jersey City will give you a great view of the NY skyline and they have a package with Moghul. But it is ultimately hotel so they may have a crystal chandelier inside. I've been to a wedding with desi catering at Bridgewaters in Manhattan. I have no idea if they charge more for the Indian caterer, but you do get a great view of the Brooklyn Bridge from the main hall and outside from the balconies during cocktail hour. I know...

Thank you so much everyone! Those are great suggestions! So far I've looked at Bethwood Manor ($105pp), Liberty House ($160pp), and Hyatt Regency Jersey City ($170pp). Of those Bethwood is the least expensive, but also the least interesting place since it's on Rt 46 across from the Willowbrook Mall :( I also liked Ocean Place, but it was way out of our price range at about $220/pp. I think the reality is that we may have to cut down...
