So my cousin-in-law got married this month and a good time was had by all. This was the first Punju wedding I attended since I left Cal, and oye, was it fun! There was singing, dancing, eating, and even a little adventure.What else would you call sneaking the bride into the wedding venue after the baraat had already danced its way in? Here's how it came to pass...
My cousin-in-law has never been crazy about clothes and make up, so underestimated the time she would need to get all brided up. As a result, she was late to her own wedding, and almost tailgated the groom on his white horse. Apparently its not good for her to be seen walking in late, so 3 of us women were dispatched to form a human shield around her as she attempted to make a rapid get-in.
Easier said than done when she's wearing an 5000 watt outfit, and the kaliras hanging from her wrist jingle louder than a warden's cell keys. So she was seen by the wives of her soon-to-be husband's friends, and by an elderly gentleman from the groom's side (who actually helped us bring her in.)
She was also seen by the 50 odd guests seated in front of the mandap 2 hours ahead of schedule.
What they were doing there when the rest of the folks were shaking shoulders to authentic bhangra music I don't know! But the main thing is that neither the groom nor his parents caught her illegal entry, so it was AOK.
I'm waiting for the happy couple to return from their honeymoon so I can find out if she's confessed her misadventures to her husband. I hope she has cos I can't wait to rib him about it.
While on the subject of weddings, I have to tell you about this woman I met recently who got divorced after 18 years of marriage. Her oldest daughter is 22. The reason this is extraordinary is that the said woman looks all of 30-32 years old. Not a line on her face, and a real cool attitude. She was also quite a few drinks down cos she kissed me when I said she looked 22. This was the first time we met. Quite forward to kiss on the first date, dontcha think? I shd clarify that it was my cheek she kissed.

Vampires are known to keep enternal youthfullness with healthy swigs of A+ and the like. So if u have to prevent the next kiss on the neck..may not be a bad idea to draw her attention to lips..
of course if the bite does happen, then ur dentist has his hands full.
No that's fine, thanks. My taste in vampires is restricted to Spike, of the Buffy fame.
And Brad Pitt of the Interview with the Vampire fame. And that slick dude who played the young vampire in the Dracula movie that also starred Keanu Reeves.
Basically what I'm saying is I like blood suckers of the male persuasion.
