My Cousin's Reception

Gags, I would like to continue writing about my cousin's marriage reception in this post. As mentioned before, the day was full of fun. Many important persons were invited and everyone were just pouring in. The reception stage was decorated with beautiful red roses, some violet and green satin ribbons with lord Ganesha's idol in the center. We took utmost care to arrange for the best right from the Reception Chairs to refreshments post dinner. Everything was done in a grand manner except for the music orchestra. That was also well managed then. Another attraction was my cousin's wardrobe. Ah! He was given a black blazer and a lavender shirt with a dark violet tie and a branded black shoes. It suited him perfectly that he was looking damn smart. Coming to my aunt's (the bride) side, she was also looking good in a grand blue silk saree. In short, the couple attracted the gathering and I felt that they are specially made for each other. The funniest part of the evening was the photos we took with him. My younger brother (4 years old) was jumping when he was made to sit in the reception chair. My cousin then told that he was able to sit better in that chair. Had a nice time!

A busy weekend!

Guys, good morning. My cousin's marriage went on cool yesterday and the day was full of fun & frolic. I met all my relatives and was very happy that we all had a nice chit chat and gossips all the day long. For the reception, an orchestra troupe was arranged and at the last moment, their team didn't turn up as the troupe leader met with an accident. Everyone were so puzzled as how to cheer the gathering with pleasant music. Suddenly, an idea struck my mind that I patiently took my laptop, surfed through the web, downloaded a plenty of songs from free torrents and just connected my audio output to those loudspeakers in the hall. All the people there appreciated me for my work. Things are very simple. I just downloaded and played the music they want but they felt as if I had made their evening.

Above everything, my cousin was on cloud nine yesterday. He was looking very smart and reticently was giving pose to all the camera clicks with his sweet smile. My aunt told me that she doubts whether the orchestra would have pleased the gathering this much. Another highlight was the dinner. A clean buffet was on the court with a number of varieties, both veggie and non-veg. Apart from the dining, some chat items and snacks were arranged right up at the reception hall so the people could enjoy the happenings with some starters. On the whole, had a good get together and I wish my sweet cousin a happy married life through this post.

Cut your wedding budget!

I am very much happy that my cousin sister's marriage got fixed recently. The engagement is yet to happen and is planned to be in the month of March. Though the wedding date is yet to be decided, we must start our arrangements well in advance. My thinking goes as how to cut wedding expenses thereby not sacrificing any of the styles. My aunt and uncle are planning to do it in a grand way. I am sure that all the necessary things that must be done should have to be done with no second thoughts.

We can minimize the expenses effectively in a number of ways. In General, the marriage hall would charge double the rent if the wedding falls on a weekend. So, we can plan it on a weekday to be cost effective. The most welcomed part in a wedding is the food. We can even do it effectively by arranging buffet for the lunch or dinner. Most important is the bride's make up. My view point is, it is not good to spend so much for a bride's make up. In most of the marriages that I attended, it made me feel that the bride would have been more beautiful without any of the facial's. So just think off and plan for a wedding effectively. Suggestions are most welcome!
