Getting Married in July 2010

Aleea - I think its so great that you and your fiance agreed to only have one reception!! I am going to suggest the same to my own fiance. So much time, money, and effort is being spent into this whole wedding stuff now a days. This does not mean I want to have a beautiful wedding… but things are going overboard. Like you, I rather have a very intimate nikkah and one amazing reception. With todays life being so hectic with people living in different countries and people having stressful professions… it seems like the way to go in my opinion! So kudos to you! We’ll see if my fiance ..and rather… his family agrees with my idea…

I actually think that a simple gharara would look so elegant for the nikkah. Your dress will set you apart from everyone else that is attending the nikkah… but simply because it is a different style than others (i would think most women would be wearing shalwaar kameez). Very Very simple gharara made from a good fabric would be my choice. But it is completely YOUR day so you can choose whatever your heart desires!

Pink and Grey combo seems extremely lovely for reception… go with that… if I find any pics I will post…

I recently had the wedding prep list e-mailed to me. If you PM me your email address I will be more than happy to forward it along to you!

— Yes, my Fiancé and I agreed to one event only (we’ll call it Walimah) our families were very understanding, so that was good.

Hmmm a simple gharara is a good idea as well, for some reason I had my heart set on something cream and purple… not red. I don’t want to wear red on either day.

Also, my fiancé wants to wear a simple kurta shalwar for the nikkah, black kurta with a lil bit of embroidery, so will a gharara look ok with that?? or will i look overdressed?
