Wedding Planning

thats what i wanted but my mother and his mother begged to differ on that - hence the banquet hall thing...


its alot of headache - dont do it!

Mother hens always want big wedding. I can't deal with he whole wedding thing.

Take Kyla to pick out the wedding grown.

Not me.....I am so glad I had a guyanese-style wedding.......with the front-yard tent, the whole Jamaat as guests, and every single one of my family member there.

Guyana weddings are very emotional for the girl's families......bitter-sweet. 
there were lots of tears of happiness and tears of sadness (in my case because I left Guyana the very next week for Canada) - but generally there is some sadness because traditionally the girls goes off to live with her husband's family which could be far away and you never know if she would be treated well by them.

Yes VB - my mom was picking out the Rukhsati (when the bride leaves her home) song the other night and she almost started crying..


I had to tell her to go pray Isha namaaz and be quiet lol

Yea. I don't think the distance and arrange thing works these day. Girls have smarten up. 

Do muslims rub dye?

Belle **ahem** : this is NOT  Guyana.

This is a banquet hall shared wit 2 or 3 more weddings : where you can hear de odda people music.


Use that money for a down payment on these High priced house market in Toronto ! 

Shalini - yes muslims rub aye

You know what's weird. My niece married a Muslim.  She did the Hindu wedding then reception and then the Muslim.  She wore green to the Muslim wedding and red to the Hindu and white to the reception.

Do u know why muslim bride wear green? Well traditionally?.

Vb has a point. I don't like the emotional part. They cry... ... ketchim will not understand  until his daughters wedding day. Ketchim. Go carry he kerchief  in his back pocket.

Guyanese in Canada have become very 'canadianize'.

in NY.....many still do the back-yard wedding.......full Guyanese-style.......even if they have a hall wedding.
