Highlights
Is everyone planning their own weddings now? My parents and sisters planned and executed the whole thing. Max to max, out of the sari options shown to me, I picked the ones I wanted to wear and decided jewellery. Otherwise only ate, drank and did time pass.
I love my son but it is taking me time to adjust to his absolute lack of conformity. He is wearing a 3 piece suit given by someone (I hate it, honestly) for dinner tonight because hey, it is new, fun and he will wear what he feels like. Lord save me.
