The totally off-topic thread

[Pushka]

See, that was what I thought when I asked if it had not been possible for the car to have been blocked at Flinders St. Though maybe if he had a gun he could have started shooting.

Yes. Agreed with you yesterday but thought that judgements would be tainted with the 'in hindsight we should have....' so not helpful I guess.

Behind the scenes here love_the_life and I are negotiating accommodation in Singapore in April via email. Anyone stayed at Marina Bay Sands?

This was my bosses son's wedding, civil and religious ceremonies. He took a week off work.

My husband was just explained why he had to use his left hand on accepting the sweet to eat. He held out his right hand and the man wouldn't serve him.

I thought it was the left hand that wasn't used.....

As did I...

I reckon you and TomV should opt for an epic event?

It had better be a LARGE venue - how many AFF members are there ? We are ALL coming !!!!!!!!

Of course we are.

But knowing those two they will do it on the sly then BC will pop a picture of her newly minted wedding ring on the accessories thread one day.

Well it was one or the other, he wouldn't give hubby the alm until he swapped hands.

What we need is an honest Wedding guide for westerners. None of the polite ones I've googled, honest.

The invite says 9 but the groom doesn't arrive until 10.30 and it still hasn't started is a good one.

 

[Denali]

And I think channel nine is missing their film crew, they're all here.

We eloped. Best decision ever.

 

[Denali]

The invite said 9, the bride just entered... It's noon.

He's going to be rather tired and emotional tonight. Best not plan on having Indian for dinner.

I took this at the Taj Hotel in Bombay (as it was then), jonks ago, weddings are always a good chance for photos. I didn't see the groom, but this lady was stunning.





It's traditional for the groom to arrive on horse back, these two are from a wedding in New Delhi, around the same time.

Some things are just not meant to be understood.

Don't worry Pushka I have organised some friends to bring you some relief from blackouts-

.

Not a bad UPS one would suggest. But it looks to me like the truck has broken down on a country road!

Barcelona in 2013. I sent them copies, but never heard back, so don't know if they received them.

 

[love_the_life]

Did you know them at all Cossie or were they just some random couple you saw?

 

[Denali]

If anyone told me that Indian music can be relaxing, I wouldn't have believed it but I was ready to snooze during the hymns.

And finally... We can eat! Only 2 hrs late.

The bride was gorgeous.

Some in Riga, 2013.

No, I just asked them if I could take their photos! The ones in Riga were from our hotel room and down in one of the squares.
