yippee!! double yippee!!!

Yesterday, both mine and sweetie`s parents met and discussed our wedding plans! And there are some changes--enough to give me a panic attack last night!!!

My engagement is no longer scheduled for July.
Nope, it has been brought forward to April.

This coming April, I tell ya!!! Yeah, that gives me only about 4 and a half more months to find the perfect rings, sarees, jewellery, accessories, shoes, tone my body, arrange the venue, make a guest list, renovate and furnish my new house, did I tell you I now have only 4 months??

The parents wanted to have the wedding in April as well, but then we decided next December or January would be better. I`ll be a wife by January 2007! And the house--oh, my GOD my house! I haven`t even started the design plans!!!

Phew...I`ve got a busy year ahead of me, that`s for sure.

Oh yeah, I`ve recovered from my panic attack, and am now jumping for joy at the thought of my upcoming wedding--literally.

Congratulations!!

BTW, "sarees"?? I didn't know that you were Indian. Why didn't you mention that when I talked to you of the Bhagavad Gita?? Now I'm embarrassed!!!

Please write a post about the happenings of an Indian wedding. I hear it is quite the extravagant party!!

I suppose YOU know what my name means, ay?? Bhakti! I was given that name by my teacher, Gurumayi Chidvilasananda. Have you heard of her? What about Bhagawan Nityananda. He's such a sweet, dear soul.

Please, fill me in on the details!

And, if you're not Indian, then I'm just TOTALLY embarrassed now! LOL!!

bhakti: thank you :) and bhakti, please do not be embarrassed! i have learnt new, and interesting stuff about my religion from you! i will write the details of my engagement and wedding :)

i have heard of both the gurus :) however, i have long accepted Sai Baba as my guru :)

Blogger Unknown said...

There are pictures of Sai Baba all around Gurumayi's ashram! The very coolest thing about being initiated by Gurumayi was that I wasn't even looking for a Guru when I met her! I was quite happy learning things through Jesus. I think, whole-heartedly, that Jesus sent me to Gurumayi. She has brought me so much closer to Jesus than I ever could have imagined!!

I must definitely been from India in a previous life. I just love all things Indian: the food, the clothing, the languages, the religions, philosophies. I'm lucky that I teach in a school that has a high Indian population. It's just wonderful. There's actually a first grader named Bhakti! (I taught her older brother Pratik a couple of years ago.)

Can't wait to hear about the goings-on at your wedding!! :)
