A few weeks ago, our office hired a new intern about my age and she sits in the office next door, uhh mostly planning her wedding. (Ha! We actually do do work. Sometimes.)  Anyway, I’m her unofficial consultant on all things wedding these days. Who made me the expert?!

“Do you like this invitation or this one or this one or this one?”
“What font should I use for the address label? Calligraphy? Or this or this or this?”
“Which flower should I go with?”
“How do you like this sari or this one or this one or this?”
This Friday after work, we’re planning to go shop for tuxedos and tulle.
The event is going to be a pretty ornate Indian/Western wedding. Right now, her budget is $45k and I say “right now” because who knows if she can manage it what with all the things she wants to have. I don’t understand how people can spend so much moolah on a party but that discussion would be another blog entry.
So far it’s been a fun distraction but also overwhelming with all the choices and decisions. Lucky for her, I’m around to tell her to go with the pink one. You can’t go wrong with pink.
