Its been an agonizing 5 months but finally, the countdown has begun As I write this, there`s just 9 days left to head home and 17 days for my wedding!
Its amusing to think that within that time I`m going to make the transformation from bachelorhood into a full fledged family man!
Preparations for the wedding are going on at home in my abscence, there's little I can do from here, but I guess, there's work to be done after i reach India... shopping for a wedding garment will be high on the list of priorities!
I`ve sent out email invitations to all of you whose emails I had, but if you havent got one its only because I didnt have your email with me. Rosa and I came up with the design of the card, which was then transformed into reality by my brother - Chacko. For those who are yet to see it, I`m embedding it below.
As some of you were aware, I was sporting a beard. I am now back to my clean-shaven-younger-than-ever looks! A standard question I get asked in relation to that is if it's because Rosa asked me to take it off! O.K, so here it is, for the record. No! Its because I thought, years from now when I look back at my wedding pictures, I think I`d prefer seeing a younger me (compared to the older bearded looks!).
I know a lot of you prefer the beard on, but hey, it grows back!
Two of my friends Morgane and Jolanda, who may be familiar to some of you through this blog will be joining me in India for the wedding.
While Jolanda (left) will accompany me when I fly down, Morgane (right) will join us on 20th. After the wedding they plan to explore a bit around Kerala and get to know its sights, sounds and tastes (especially the last!). If any of you have ideas to entertain them, do get in touch.Lastly, Rosa and I have been discussing possible honeymoon locations and high on the list is a place called Vythiri tucked away in the pristine forests of Wyanad. While it is not well known to most south and central Keralites, it is surprisingly popular on the internet. If any of you have been there or know more about it, please shoot me a mail.
I`m really excited at coming down and am imaptiently counting down the days. I hope to see most of you at my wedding or before that for Chacko`s wedding on 17th. Please do try and make it. Until then...holding my breath!
