Have you seen a stressed bride lately?

Do give her a slap and tell her to enjoy her wedding before it’s D-day.
No. Really. Do it. You might get a box in return, but by next year she will probably tell you how right you were and thank you for it. Well, not really. But it’s good to think positive. Works wonders for [...]

The One Ring.

10th June ‘09
11.48 pm Bahrain Time
Something unexpected happened today.
I found the One Ring.
In a little nondescript jewellery shop, tucked away untidily between a big jewellery shop and a bigger jewellery showroom. The shop was so tiny that I have already forgotten its name.
All I can remember is the little band of yellow gold with a [...]

The Perfect Ring. Again.

Yes, there was a post out here yesterday.
For reason’s beyond your’s or mine ken, this particular plan has been exterminated. So shoo on, the show is over for now.

Of Charming Teachers and Charming them…

1.36pm (Bahrian time)
It’s an empty house I have come home to today. The sunlight is swishing in through the French windows this afternoon, unlike it’s angry barge a few days back.
For some reason, I am experiencing more fascinating things in the morning than in the evening out here in Bahrain.
This can be rather [...]

Phyre takes Flight

June 2, 2009.
3:40pm IST.
As I pen this down, I am hurtling through a blue sky in a absolutely magical ride at around 940kms/hour. All I can see around me is a white haze. All I can see below me are fluffy white clouds. Clouds one could very well imagine to be goose down, whipped cream, [...]

The Bridal Gowns on my Mind

I had a crazy talk about my wedding gown with Mel today and his observations on my taste in bridal gowns were enlightening and perfect, to say the least. 
He thinks my wedding gown is to be a strapless and backless affair with yards of lace enveloping me. Dramatic is my cue and bold is my [...]

Something Old, Something New & a Bride less Confused

A long time ago, when weddings were magical things that simply happened to all the beautiful big girls in my family, I used to dream about my own.
I used to dream about the day when I would be that beautiful big girl getting married. I used to dream about wearing my mom’s wedding gown and [...]

The Perfect Proposal. Is there really such a thing?

Everyday as I pass by the under-refurbishment Spykar outlet near where I work, I can’t help but spend at least 5 seconds of my time staring at this utterly captivating advertisement: 

Yes, the models are painfully rangy and the style of proposal is completely not what most catlics would consider appropriate, but dang it! Does a [...]

I Need

      Not
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  Not  

And Yes, it’s Just Another Valentine’s Day…

… where I shall begin the day with talks about Plan “W” with Melroy, spend the rest of the morning cleaning my once-red-now-yellow room, take the car out for a spin, meet Penny (one of the tailors I have shortlisted), pick up a bride’s maid gift for my cousin and finally end the day bringing [...]
