Random thoughts and conversations of a Bride to Be

It's been a while since I wrote here, and major life update, I am a month away from getting married and have been having the most hilarious/exasperating/strange moments and thoughts. I was told I might as well record them, so here goes. I'll be updating them as and when I get a moment.

"The carousel never stops turning."

That is one of my favourite lines from a show I stopped watching long ago, but some things just stay with you. Aren't Carousels just the most beautiful? Then why is it that their memory is wistful, bittersweet. They bring with them so many moments from times gone by, in an infinite loop.

The carousel keeps turning, and I can't get off, so maybe, it will take me back?

I have reached a conclusion where I firmly believe that I write not always to be read but most importantly to live in the illusion that I will be heard. I think its more about saying something, and as annoying as it might be, I often have a lot to say. However, more now than ever, I've been wondering, are our thoughts really our own?

They who must not be named: "Are you wilting under the pressure?"

YKD: "Haven't turned into cabbage. Yet."

What would Cinderella's carriage have looked like if it was a cabbage instead of a pumpkin?

Sat with a bundle of string and realized that there's something extremely and oddly satisfying about un-knotting things. Which is strange because when it comes to arguments, i am told i make more knots than I solve. And, Oh, what fun it's been.

I think now, I'm happier solving than knotting, well, unless it's macrame!

Sealed my fate in self-design!

(for those not familiar with my strain of humour, I sealed the envelopes of cards designed by yours truly!)

M: They say the marriage of an older sister is a watershed moment in the life of a younger brother.

Y: Don't know about watershed, it'll definitely be a waterworks moment!

Y to M :  Lets get married around an electric heater? It'll be a little more eco-friendly! And, so different- such a perfect winter wedding.

I was just told that i am having entire conversations with people in my head, and not actually with them. hmmm. Probably because I like my responses better!

eg. On finding a particular set of bangles after a long time - "Sabr ka phal is Churis!"

Still arguing with people wanting to wear red on the wedding day- "But how will people know I'm the bride if you wear red?"

Person: You invited them, won't they know you?

Y: No, There's a chance half the people won't recognize me, peripheral entities you see! #BigSlimIndianWedding?

If someone requests you to RSVP, please do ON TIME. Guests not RSVP-ing on time makes control freak brides think of different ways to obliterate them or worse, uninvite them.
