Day 1 was the mehndi night ceremony..of course we were all busy decorating the house with flowers and all deco item for the night...It was a pretty long night for me as the mehndi took few hours to be completed and dried..mean while all my family n friends got their hands decorated as well.... My lovely cousins were entertaining me by dancing... here are some pics from the mehndi night...
Day 2 so after the long night...here comes the south indian pre wedding ceremony.. I had 2 sessions for the day... 1 done in the morning by mother & 1 more by my dad's sisters... this ceremony is where they rub saffron..sandalwood and etc on the hands..legs..and face of the bride/groom...and then they bring you trays of gifts (sarees,bangles,jewelries & etc)..here are some pics of the 2nd day event
the ceremony was held outside the house

Then comes the last day-Day 3
the same ceremony was done but this time it was done by my sisters & sister in laws <3

ok so here's the NOT SO FUN PART ( for me ) at the end of every ceremony we normally mess up the bride/groom with the balance sandalwood & saffron. So the below pics says it all...Thanks to my lovely brothers whom were all waiting for that moment...
trust me ...you wouldn't want to see how my face looked :/
Once the above ceremony was over...we had to get ready to leave to the groom's place which is in a different state...( a 2 1/2 hour drive ) ...we chartered a bus and we all were having fun in the bus...
That's pretty much all for now... check out my next blog for my wedding pics !!!!
