raven: [hello my name is] and a silhouette image of a raven (cabin pressure - shut up)
[personal profile] raven
Not sure I ought to have to say this, but here it is anyway: I am allowed to make fun of Indian weddings. You - white, don't-they-last-four-days-and-they're-all-colourful-tee-hee, thoughtless you - are not. Getting married in a grey church in England is not a "normal" way to get married. Thanks, glad we've cleared that up.

Anyway, so. Wedding planning has taken its great leap forwards. The Scottish shindig now has a guest list, a photographer, (probably) a cake, (probably) a ceilidh band, two readers, two witnesses, a venue, a menu and even favours, ye gods. I need to get my dress altered and am cleverly combining this with [community profile] vidukon_cardiff (don't even ask). We still need a playlist, a script, a last-minute narrative resolution to a continuing spat re: canapés, and sixty-five tiny screwtop jars.

The Indian wedding has dates, venues, three documents in progress (schedule; historical and religious contexts, with footnotes; visa procedures, a beginner's guide) a vague guest list, invitation wording if not actual invitations (I drafted this yesterday while putting up with heckling from all sides), a cast of thousands, and a certain sense that Things Are Getting Done. Not by me, I hasten to add. But done.

My to-do list is still in three parts and synced between three devices. But... hurrah? I think?

(I think I shall pre-emptively declare 2014 the Year of the Hammock, With No To-Do Lists At All.)

(I hope to begin it in a houseboat in Srinagar.)

Yaaaay yaaaaay! TO BOTH!

(ALSO: what kind of dress code are you going for for the Scottish Shindig?)

Dress code is formal-ish, but no gender-prescription obv and really I don't mind. What did you have in mind? :)

Oh, I was just thinking excitedly and wondering whether a new dress I got might suit! :D *BOUNCES* I'm so excited for the Banquet as well - do you want any particular colour for the shutter shades?

You are just the best. I leave my shutter shades to your discretion. :P

I am told the answer to this is yes. I'm doing what I'm told. :P
