too many weddings, engagements and proposals floating around delhi!
actually, that's exactly in reverse order!
Proposals, Rokas and Shaadis :)
wait wait wait
Proposals, Pre Bridal shoots, dancing dancing dancing, choreographed dancing, Rokas, and Shaadis :)
just ask A, this is Literally her area of expertise! (choreographer extraordinaire)
so as i Attend some weddings and definitely experiment with my newly developing skill of eye makeup..
i begin to wonder about the pressure the Bride is feeling!
i mean here i am, a guest, dabbing and sliding that glittery eye shadow base... basically clowning around with the eyeliner, nonchalantly using earbuds dipped in make up remover to give myself that winged look... basically having a gala time, wondering what else i can dab on without it looking over the top... rushing around in the rain, contemplating wearing flats (the horror the horror!), not Really worried because well, it isn't "my" day... but there is this other person getting ready somewhere in delhi..
groaning because the clouds have burst and she's worried about her hair.. her make up, her clothes, her own secret butterflies doing the tango in her tummy, smiling!, not smiling too much!, relatives, and somehow looking her "best"!
Oh God.. she has this one day (ok, Many days) to look her absolute "best".
what is this best?
how are we supposed to magically look our best one day?
and what Is best?
what mum thinks? friends think? the fashionable relatives think? the conservative relatives think? the husband thinks? who? who decides?
the bride? really... not too sure about that.
because every single person has a different opinion about "best".
some like it understated, some like it blingy, some like both! and most don't know what they like.. they know what they Dislike. (category-me!) Or know what they like in their Mind and don't know any way of getting to it ! (Also category me!)
Oh God. i can only sigh and breathe heavily.. because as a guest i doll up in 15-25 mins including strapping on 5 inch heels (as if the flats stood a chance! :))
but this one occasion that im so cavalier about..is someone elses special day.
newfound respect for special days :)
Happy Wedding season everyone... enjoy the Jalebis... Yum!
