Wedding RSVPs in the South Asian Community
Indians and Pakistanis, and RSVPing. Cue: laughter. It's true; this is not one of our community's strong suits - along with being on time. (grrr) So this post is inspired by my momma, as she just sent me this with the instruction to post it on my Facebook, lol: Lol I laugh because my fiancé… Continue reading Wedding RSVPs in the South Asian Community
Why Do the “Karachiite-type” Men Fall For Punjabi Women?
Ah, what an appropriate post to reblog on MyBigFatPakistaniWedding, as I'm just another Punjabi girl that an Urdu-speaking boy fell for, lol 😛 Favourite line of Chaidaani's post about the awesomeness of Punjabi girls: "She will understand the cliche that the way to his heart is through his tummy, simply because hey, the way to… Continue reading Why Do the “Karachiite-type” Men Fall For Punjabi Women?

Bridal by Mehdi (This is not my wedding dress!)
When I was in Pakistan this March I ended up going to Mehdi's bridal boutique in Defense after falling in love with his ready to wear collection on MM Alam. A troop of young girls who couldn't possibly have been over the age of 15 greeted us at the studio, but seemed to be sworn… Continue reading Bridal by Mehdi (This is not my wedding dress!)
My mother’s wedding dress
One of the first things I did in Pakistan was make my Khala (aunt) find the old suitcases with all my mom's wedding clothes in them. What's better than playing dress up with your mom's vintage wedding wear?! Her dress was made of a heavy tissue material which when reflecting the light looked various shades… Continue reading My mother’s wedding dress
Child bride
This is what happens when you have a sister who is ten years your senior...she dresses you up as a Pakistani child bride when you're 7 and she's 17...lol, sigh. Let's hope I'll look a little happier on the actual day!!
