Donna & Rajat wedding pt2 - the wedding!

At 6pm on Friday 17th Feb we all switched off computers & scurried away to get changed into our outfits ready for Donna's wedding. The night before I'd been at Rajat's Pooja (link here) & tonight was the big day for them both & it was all rather exciting!
Seeing as Donna's Catholic & Rajat's Hindu they had a Catholic service in the morning which I couldn't make cos of work boo! (I did see a video clip & a few photos from a few people who did make it though & she looked gorgeous) & then the big celebration/reception & Hindu service in the evening.
Loads of people from work came which was really great to have some time with them out of the office & get to know them better. While nattering we sat down for a bit to wait our turn to go up on the stage to meet the happy couple.
These are some of the design team I work with on a daily basis & they also look after me in Mumbai!
It was then our turn to go up on stage with our gifts & cards, say hi to Donna & Rajat & pose for a few photos.
The following snaps are a few more people from work & in the right hand one you can see my new outfit I'd picked up a couple of days before. I managed to snap it up on sale & was pretty chuffed with it (although I did spot someone else wearing it *shock horror!*) - another Indian outfit to add to the collection!
After everyone had been up on stage & gone to get food I got a sneaky pic of the happy couple & the gorgeous outdoor venue. They looked so happy together & it was so sweet how they held hands all the way through the photos on the stage. Aww!
Once I sat down the fun began & Vikram sure knew how to keep a gal happy! Yoink!
By this point my henna had started to get pretty dark which is a good sign cos the darker the henna the more your man loves you! I was expecting black but hey dark brown will do! :P
While on the henna topic Donna's was beautiful & went right up to her elbows, she had it all over her feet too. Please excuse the eerie green light! Not the most flattering of shades on the skin!
The photographer dragged Donna away for some solo shots so I dove in & got some pics too. Her outfit was beautiful & the colours were so rich. She looked so happy......
....that was until she had to do some cheesy Bollywood-esque pics but after we all bullied her into it I think she got into the swing of things!
On that note I've just got one last thing to say & that's congrats to the happy couple! :) It was great fun & y'all looked lovely. Thanks for the invite & muchos love. x

T-minus 6months / 184days!

Image
Eeep! 6months today I'll be just about to walk down the aisle to see the man I'm going to marry! AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!I'm so ridiculously excited I'm not sure I can bottle it up! Valentines day marked 200 days till our wedding & mum made us a countdown using tape measures measuring 100cm each. The plan was to cut off a cm each day as the countdown but she'd included little charms all down them of bags, shoes, guitars, etc & we didn't want to ruin it so we're colouring it in with a Sharpie instead! She's the best! :) thanks mum! Last night after work Adam & I met up at Waterloo to head home & it was all going as planned till we stopped at one station for about 20mins cos of a backlog due to a part suspension. There was nothing we could do to get on another line so we sat & waited, the train eventually left but then sat at the next station (Swiss Cottage) for another 20min & they didn't know when they'd set off again. We knew th...

Happy 30th Adam!

Image
Wow what an eventful weekend! Friday was Adam's 30th so we both took the day off work to celebrate together. After sleeping in till 10am Adam finally woke me up asking when I was going to emerge & celebrate his birthday with him - Yoink! So much for the breakfast in bed I had planned. We started the day off as all birthdays should be celebrated - with a trip to Asda! After getting the boring chores out the way we headed to Winter Wonderland (via the Barber) for our annual wander around with a mulled wine in one hand & a Bratwurst in the other all polished off with a pretzel. We stopped off at the Carousel bar to watch the world go by (literally! The whole bar rotates really slowly) & have another mulled wine while putting the world to rights before heading off for dinner in Hammersmith. The first of many surprises for Adam were tickets to Steve Merchant's 'Hello Ladies' tour at the Apollo which was really good fun. We got there quite early so thought we...

#TowerPoppies

Image
Last September I was lucky enough to get the chance to take part in the "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" at the Tower of London.... Those of you who are regular readers will know I love helping out the Royal British Legion & this was a chance to be part of something awesome! "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" was to mark the centenary of the outbreak of WW1, in total there were 888,246 ceramic poppies (1 to represent every British / Colonial serviceman killed) & the last one was planted on Remembrance Day. If you want to find out more & see a video about the poppies being made click HERE . Early one Saturday morning I set off to the Tower of London & joined another 120 people for a 3hour shift. The aim was to plant 5000 poppies to keep on track for the 11th November but someone ended up opening an extra palette & we planted 6000 instead! Our team was lead by a Beefeater's daughter who actually lived in the Tower - such an in...
