2010 brides.........

Duffy - thank you so much for the detailed message about the job situation. LOL your thoughts actually exactly mirror mine. Im actually not sure if I want to practice law either… it really does have a lot of facets to it and opens alot of doors. At the moment I am open to anything my degree can get me. I’m not one of those gung ho chicks whose ready to tear down the doors to courtrooms! :cb: I took the bar exam simply as a precaution… like what if my first job requires the license?? Plus I was worried I would forget everything I learned in my 3 years of law school… :smack: Thought it would be better to get that puppy out of the way. lol.

… but BACK to shaadi talk :smiley: So I sat down today and decided to come up with a list of alllllll the things that need to be figured out for the shaadi. Woah… kinda overwhelming yikes! There were these excel prep lists floating around. I have them myself and have forwarded them to others. I am using that as my skeleton for my list… but definitely want to really expanddddd on it. I’m including things that need to be bought/planned for mehndi and baraat… i’m trying to include every little detail into these lists! I think I am going to need your girl’s help with this just to make sure nothing is left out!! And u know what??? Then mabey we can all use this list as a guide and use it as a checklist… What do u guys think??? We can complete it soon so that u girls can take it to Pakistan and inshAllah use it.

My fiance actually told me that he wants to take the reign and plan the Valima himself completely!! :smiley: He has such excellent taste that I am more than happy that he does this. He has bought me such beautiful jewelery and clothing in the past. I actually posted a few more pics from my engagement onto the engagement pic thread for a little while… the jewlery I am wearing is stuff given by him! He is super organized and a planner too… so he told me that he really wants to plan stuff so that it all goes smoothly and that we are both completely in the know about what is going on.

Duffy - what is your shaadi situation? I know u are from UK but where will u live after shaadi?

Aweeee i just read the back and forth btw u and piyaari … super cute that you have surprised your man in the past Duffy … and that now Piyaari is going to do it!! I luv it!!! Its really romantic as well. :wub: Since I live in the same city as my fiance we see each other about 2-3 times a week. You would think it would be more often than this but he works really hard and I dont want him to be out and about on weekdays. I want him to go home and relax and have some time to himself after a long days work. Weekends is when we spend time together. He lets me pick a new restaurant every week and takes me out for a proper “date” dinner on Friday nights… its become our own little tradition! Saturdays and sundays we like to spend time hanging out with our friend… or I go to his house and hang out with his family. We go to the movies… shopping. Very chill things basically. :slight_smile: xoxo
