Our First Wedding !
A very fancy title !
But its not my wedding with some eena meena deeka
BTW, its not even a wedding, for that matter..
Its "Sand's Engagement with Soo" !
The first signs of a wedding bell, in our group of jolly good friends.
All of you know Sand and Soo from this space. But not many of you would have expected this :)
Well, it was on Oct29, 2006. The two love birds finally getting officially tied up. Wedding is planned for Jan21, 2k7. Cant wait for blasting on that day.
For now, lets see how we rocked the day, the event, the gathering, the duo with our tremendous presence at the venue :-D

2.10AM
Thats when Gasper and I finished the engagement gift. It required a lot of artistic and technical excellence. And ample support from Bin. Its all packed, wrapped, and kept in good shape.
Well, what is the gift ?? -> That will be told at the end of the story :-)
5.30AM
We got up and packed ourselves for KK's house.
That is the starting point for the trip. Sho reached the place the previous night and spent the night there. At 5.50AM, we expected a pair of dressed up gentlemen at the door, but we were greeted by a topless KK and a sleepy Sho in shorts :-S
On top of this, lecture by KK "You said you would come y'day night and blah blah blah.."
Knowing his nature, we preferred to keep mum. Yes, its our fault :-S
Finally at 7.15AM we start. Mridul also reached by that time.
KK in the driving seat. Mridul in front. Rest of the 3 packed behind.
An eventful drive to Palakkad thru EC-Hosur-Krishnagiri-Dharamapuri-Salem-Coimbatore-Valayar.
On the way, when we were about half way thru, we stopped for a cup of tea. And due to popular demand I called up Soo's house. The mission - to find the route to Nelliyaampathy. Its a hill station some 1hr drive from Palakkad.
Rat : Hello, Soorya's house ?
J : Yes.
Rat : PJ aano ?
J : One sec, i'll hand over..
Rat : :-S
PJ : Hello
Rat : Hello ! Ithu njaanaa Ratheesh
PJ : :-S
Rat : Manasilaayille ? Soorya's friend.. With me are KK, Gasper, Shobin and Mridul..
PJ : (almost asked) Who are all these ppl ? And who are you ?!
Rat : we are coming from bangalore for the function.
At this point, PJ got some idea - at least these are some friends of Soorya, coming from Blore.
And the stupid me thot I was a famous personality at the Soo-house. Stupid idiot dumbo me :-s
Got the detailed roadmap.. Then I asked
"Where is Soo?"
PJ : She has gone for wedding
:-S And we thought it was tomoro ! BTW, tomoro is engagement.. Oh.. so its someone elses wedding
Finally, hung up, saying "See you there". PJ was still in total confusion.
The guyz killed me for the next half an hour in the car, for this stupidity.
Later Soo called up and said 'Aaraa ee Ratheesh ? Valla kaaryavumundaayirunno ? Rat ennu paranjaal poraayirunno ? Ivide ellaarum molilottu nokki iruppaayirunnu.. Ratheesh-o aaraa ithu?'
:-SS
After marathon drives, reached Palakkad by 6PM. And since it's already late, dropped the nelliyaampathy trip. Went straight to Hotel Soorya City. Thats the engmnt venue for tomoro. The receptionist gave a broad 70mm smile and said "No rooms"
We checked a couple more of hotels, and finally zeroed in, to Kairali Hotel.
2 AC rooms. With TV, fridge, bathtub, hot water facility... After all, Sand is paying ;-D
Bath, a walk, dinner, sleep...
Baaki ke stories later...
